Sources of Wisdom



Most people are always in the pursuit of wisdom. While there are some that consider themselves the almighty sage of life and knowledge, the true wise person is always in search for answers. And life itself gives us many reasons to do so.

That memorable slogan
A very longtime ago a former girlfriend and I were perusing through a collection of posters hanging on a rack in a store. We came across one with the picture of a monkey grasping his head. The slogan read, “Just when I though I had all the answers, they changed the questions.”

We are that monkey
Due the fact a staple of life and living is change, there is always a need to seek new answers. That is why we are blessed with the tools of creativity and knowledge. We use creativity to find, tap into, and even create the answers that bring us knowledge. At times we are the monkey grasping our heads in disbelief we are confronted with yet another situation we have no experience to have had gathered the knowledge to draw upon in order to deal with it. But seriously, that's life playing out as it was meant to.

The answer to seeking answers
Be the monkey. Come to grip with the fact we can't possibly know it all. Though we do all know a person or two that will never develop that comprehension. We have to be wiser than that. We have to have the flexibility and versatility to know when and seek out the how to obtain the wisdom we will always be desperate need of.
