Publisher's Summary

Wisdom is listening to someone who has a teachable heart. Love is like wisdom; it grows when there is more of it to share. Life is often tough when we compare ourselves to others, or try to parent a strong-willed child, or deal with a medical illness or loss of job. In times of struggles, we turn to others who have experience with something similar. 

You have probably made a poor choice in your life. We all have. The older we get, the less we feel like we know, but we crave the wisdom we need to make better decisions, to live a more purposeful life. We listen to others because we understand the value of someone’s wisdom, someone who’s gone before us and come out on the other side successfully. Before we have children, we read books on parenting and listen to other parents, so we learn how to parent better. Before we take a new job, we research the company and the open role, and listen to other employees. Before we buy a house, we study the market and listen to homeowners in the neighborhood. We find wisdom in others we trust, so we make good choices.

Wisdom helps us:

  • Think before we act
  • Find diplomacy
  • Learn coping skills
  • Parent our children
  • Listen with our heart
  • Hear both sides of a story
  • Find compassion for others
  • Teach others
  • Fight battles
  • Care for those we love
  • Find answers in nature
