A person becomes wise when he or she realizes that everything in his or her life is an opportunity to learn something. We all excel at something. Some people excel at many things. No matter how accomplished we are, there is always more to learn.
The lessons often come in unexpected and surprising ways when people are willing to see life as a learning experience. The people we learn from need not be our peers or superiors in intelligence. Each and every person we interact with can teach something. If we are open to learning the ‘unconventional’ lessons of life, we become wise and inspire those around us to wisdom as well. Let’s turn intelligence into wisdom by learning from each other.
How many people actually think for themselves, without falling victims to beliefs or ideologies? How many are not heavily influenced by the biased information that the media is presenting them with? How many are choosing to have certain opinions just because an authority figure told them to or because tradition holds them to be true? The reality is that most people don’t know how to think critically, and blindly accept the beliefs that were handed to them by society. But unless one learns to think for oneself, how can one grow into a more conscious, wise person?
If you’re searching for truth it would be beneficial if you gathered knowledge from as many sources as you can whether that is books, documentaries, Scrolls, internet and so on. Do whatever helps to expand your consciousness. Keep an open mind when learning new things.
