I used to think wisdom was an experience that people learn from. That it was a noun, this concept that just happened to those people who choose to think about what happens, and learn a lesson from it. Now I think it’s more of a verb, this action that you can choose to take. It’s a choice.

When something happens, you either learn from it or you don’t. The choice to learn is always there, and the more time you take to reflect on what happens, that makes you wiser, you are practicing wisdom. And I like my concept of wisdom. Its better than me thinking that wisdom is something attainable, that you ‘get’. Nope, it’s definitely you deciding to be wise. And it definitely helps you when you are.
