Courage, Letting Go, Wisdom

You must develop and then act on your wisdom. How do you develop wisdom in a culture that does not value thinking, contemplation or reverence for elders? You must be willing to remove yourself from daily activities for periods of time that are specifically designated for renewal, rejuvenation and reflection on your life. Without these periods of contemplation your life will simply move past year to year while your rut gets deeper and deeper. You must have the courage to let go of many comfortable aspects of your life. Be prepared to give up many of the attachments you have to personal comforts. Have the courage to truthfully examine your life and your character and be willing to take action where it is needed. When you have knowledge about life you must act upon it with wisdom otherwise all knowledge is useless. It is certainly time for a time of rejuvenation and consciously letting go of the elements in your life that are not supportive of your quest for wisdom. Have the courage to face your limitations and make the changes in life that will give you the freedom to move in a new direction for the benefit of the entire world.
