The Secret to Growing in Wisdom
“What is wisdom? Well, it’s more than just common sense. There are many ways wisdom can manifest in our lives. One is through sound judgment and good decisions. Wisdom can also manifest through profound spiritual insight. But one of the most powerful ways wisdom manifests in our lives is through desire.
It is great everyday wisdom to want what is good for you. You may say, “I don’t always know what is good for me.” That’s okay. In fact, that’s one of the amazing things about wisdom. Just desiring wisdom is wise. So, even if you don’t know what is good for you, just the desire to know what is good for you is wisdom… and a great prayer.
The problem we encounter is our desire for things that aren’t good for us.
Our lower instincts are wired to seek pleasure and avoid pain. But sometimes pleasure is the worst thing for us, and pain is just what we need. That’s why our higher faculties, such as our will and intellect, are able to move beyond our instincts and choose what is true, good, just, and right.
Wisdom is wanting the right things. And the right things are those that help you become more fully alive and fully human, the things that help you love God and neighbor, and the things that help you become the-very-best-version-of-yourself!”

The Rhythm of Life – 21 Questions that will Change Your Life – Question #5: Do You Have a NOT TO DO List?
“Welcome back to 21 questions that will change your life.
Question #5 is about the wisdom of paradoxes. Most of us have some form of to-do list that we never seem to get through. But much rarer is the NOT TO DO list, which most of us are in desperate need of.
Question #5: What needs to be on your NOT TO DO list?
Here are some ideas to consider… Putting off important tasks in favor of urgent tasks. Agreeing to do things out of guilt, ego, or misplaced obligation. Saying Yes when you know you should say NO. Trying to please everyone. Neglecting your legitimate needs.
Develop a short NOT TO DO list filled with items that keep you from thriving.”
