Wisdom in Living

-

 Wisdom is the capability of the thinking mind to self-intuit all the facts and the information acquired, and then diligently apply them to everyday life and living. Wisdom is different from knowledge, which is only the acquisition and accumulation of facts and information from reading and learning. Wisdom is the connection of all the dots to see their logic and relevance in real-life situations. So, even an expert or scientist may not necessary be wise.

Wisdom Essentials of the Thinking Mind

Awareness is consciousness of what's going on in the mind and the body. So, always focus on the breathing in and the breathing out, and practice daily meditation to enhance the power of thinking.

An empty mind with little or no preconceived ideas is essential to getting "new" ideas and information.

Simplicity living is also important because it is a deliberate detachment from the material world. So, let go of all your attachments to a luxurious lifestyle, such as wearing designers' clothes, driving an expensive and luxurious car, living in a multi-million-dollar home, and associating with the rich and the famous. Simplicity living is never easy, but it "declutters" the thinking mind of cravings and demands to give it clarity of thinking, which is essential to wisdom. 

Humility is the only pathway to connect to God to give you spiritual wisdom. Remember, pride is the first of the Seven Deadly Sins. So, receive God's life instructions expressed in His Word. Spiritual wisdom is biblical instructions for life and living in this secular world.

The bottom line: Wisdom in living comes from both human wisdom and spiritual wisdom. Human wisdom involves empowering the thinking mind to think effectively and efficiently. Spiritual wisdom complements the "imperfect" human wisdom through God's Word to give humans life instructions to make the right choices and decisions in everyday life and living.

 The testament of your faith is your "trust" and "obedience." Knowing about faith is just the beginning of your belief, and it must be followed by acting in faith with trust and obedience .       God gives everyone a gift—which is your deep understanding of what to ask, where to seek, and when to knock. This gift is also your “freedom of will.” But it comes with a price: you must follow His commandments. That is, you must also show your trust , and obedience to God through your faith .         If you truly believe in God and in His presence, then you must trust and obey Him. Trusting and obeying God is never easy because you’re human  with many human flaws and shortcomings innate in your flesh .       Trusting God also means giving up your control of the happenings in your daily life, as well as your freedom to choose whatever you want to do.      Like everybody else, you’re controll...

“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.”  - Napoleon Hill The wisdom is that an adversity may be a blessing in disguise. Worse, if one dwells on the adversity, one may attract more adversities. The Law of Attraction is about energy attraction: positive energies attracting positive energies, and the same for negative energies. This revolutionary concept has been exponentially popularized by the film "The Secret" as well as by the bestseller book and other related publications across the Internet. Is the Law of Attraction a myth of the mind or a reality in real life? Can the Law of Attraction really help your healing from rsdiseases and disorders? Say, when an individual is diagnosed with cancer, that individual often becomes obsessed with anxiety about its treatment options as well as the prognosis of the disease.
