It’s true that wisdom is all around us an forever available force if we take time and space to listen and witness it because it stems from life experience which every age gets every single day. The key is to stop flying at helter skelter speed through life and slow down enough to smell the roses wisdom is trying to bring whether it’s in happiness or hurt. So I love this post Adrienne because it breaks the mould tha wisdom is for the old.

Hi Tess and Adrienne!

Great article on wisdom and I so love the first tip – to READ! I’ve devoured books by others who have been there, done that, made the mistakes, and got back up.

My wisdom path includes making mistakes…and not being afraid to make a mistake. I used to think I had to be perfect right from the start…only to find out that kind of thinking keeps life rather sterile and artificial.

One of my favorite wise sayings, “Always make new mistakes…”

Thank you for your wisdom!!

Hello Tess and Adrienne!

Adrienne what a right on message!
Your article reminds me of how often people sit back and complain about this or that in their life or about themselves, instead of taking action and taking accountability whether it be for their own happiness or wisdom.

Yes, read!!! And read lots of non-fiction – anything to stimulate the brain, to step outside of comfort zones and to expand to new horizons! Well, I love all your tips (I love the scientist at heart hiding in there) and loving the world when we begin to expand our view of it!

So yes, let us ask questions, let us not be afraid to question all that we think and believe. Let us observe more, much more than we conclude or judge. Let us open ourselves up to a whole new world which offers us so much, especially today, and in turn develop our wisdom in ways we could not have previously imagined!

Thank you Tess for an outstanding guest!

Experimenting is hard for me. I know I need to do it, but embracing it is scary. It’s the little voice inside my head that I like to call my “arch nemesis” because we are usually our own worst enemy.

We need to move toward the fear. It’s the only way we can grow professionally and personally.

I always enjoy reading your posts, Tess, and am delighted to read Adrienne’s words today.

I find the list of five to be so relevant to my own journey of learning, and processing how to become more “wise.” One of my other goals is to LISTEN, really LISTEN to the wonderful elderly family members in my own life, who’s long, sometimes painful experiences are such a reflection and reminder of what is important in our busy society.

Thanks so much for sharing your insights!
Love,
Jen
