Wisdom

what's it mean?

1. the ability to make sound judgments

2. insight or intuition

3. extensive knowledge

which of those sounds most appealing to you?

they are all definitions of wisdom. and they can be yours!!!

"how?" you say?  well, let me tell ya'!

there's a book called, the Bible. and it's a pretty big Book - lots of reading. BUT, there's a little book within the big Book called, Proverbs. there are 31 chapters in the book of Proverbs. and they're short, easy-to-read chapters.

if you were to read one chapter of Proverbs each day, by the end of one month you'd be well on your way to amassing tons of wisdom!

what? you're not up for reading the Bible every day?

ok. well, what about... reading just when you felt like it (?) and you could try to "feel like it" once or twice a week. and on the days that you feel like it, you just say to yourself, "what day of the month is it?" and the answer is (for example), "the 23rd." so, on the 23rd, you would open your Bible to the book of Proverbs, and find the big 23 (indicating chapter 23), and just read that. and the next time you feel like it, you say, "what day of the month is it?" and your answer is (for example), "the 12th." so you read chapter number 12 in the book of Proverbs. (yes. you can do that. there's not some Bible-reading angel that comes and thumps you on the head cause you're reading it out of sequence.)

then, you know what's happened? you've read two whole chapters in the Bible. and from those two whole chapters, you have learned something new about life, love and yourself. imagine what would happen if you kept doing that for a long time! wow!! people would go, "hmmm.... that person seems to have incredible insight!" (imagine that!)
