Knowledge Vs. Wisdom

Knowledge Vs. Wisdom

There is something to be said about the path of acquiring knowledge.

One could even say that there is a beauty in having an apptitude for learning.

Gaining knowledge of something we had no prior knowledge of gives us a sense of clarity and peace of mind.

The quest for knowledge, however, is no easy feat - it is work and consistency towards making known what is unknown.

The answers we are looking for almost never come overnight.

Instead, the answers are acquired through our ability to use knowledge to gain experience.

The funny thing about knowledge is that all knowledge is useless unless it can be applied towards something.

For instance, one could fully immerse themselves in their studies to gain knowledge of something, but it isn’t until one is able to apply what they are studying that it becomes useful wisdom.

In other words, wisdom comes from our experiences and our ability to use knowledge to gain clarity.

Wisdom is one of the greatest gifts we could ever ask for as humans.

Real wisdom is how we learn.

Wisdome is earned knowledge.

Wisdom is a matter of knowing how to calculate our thoughts to produce a certain outcome based off of our past experiences.

Wisdom is how we learn from our past mistakes so that we can better prepare ourselves to not make the same mistakes over again.

Being as that we are human and have patterns of behavior, wisdom gives us the tools in which we are able to reflect on our own patterns to change them for the better.

We can give people our wisdom as knowledge, but it isn’t until one is able to apply the knowledge that it becomes wisdom of their own.

This is why it is important to surround yourself with people that are wiser and more knowledgable than you.

In today’s day in age, we call them mentors - educators in which we choose to learn from.

When you want to learn, there is a humbling realization that you don’t know everything and wish to seek guidance to better improve yourself.

When you want to learn, the sky then becomes the limit in whatever you wish to accomplish in life.
