I met a Wise One yesterday. I didn’t expect him, but isn’t that the way of the Wise Ones? We only had a few minutes together, but he casually held out some pearls and it was up to me whether I picked them up or not. He was totally at peace whether I took his pearls of wisdom or chose to rush by without a glance. Again, isn’t that Their way?
These are the pearls I got from this lovely being whose path crossed mine by Divine intervention, I am sure.
- Your life is for the most part up to you. When things aren’t going as you’d like, or trouble of some kind finds you, look at yourself. Usually it’s the choices we make and the actions we take or don’t take that create the life we’re living. The Wise Ones know and accept this. The rest blame someone or something else for their life situations.
- Shut up and listen. The Wise One told me he learned that the best way for him to improve his life was to shut up and listen. He started at the very bottom with his company and rose high up, mostly because he learned early how to listen. It is so easy to get caught up in what we want to say next, our opinions and needing to come across as smart that we forget to listen. The Wise Ones speak rarely, but when they do speak, everyone listens.
- Divine Guidance is ours. We just have to ask and listen. There is a Higher Power of your own understanding that is available to you if you wish. The key again is to listen. This is rarely the loudest voice. It is usually the one that we have to seek in quiet and stillness.
- Divine help is there for those who help themselves. Who said any of us are entitled to anything w/o something from ourselves?
- We can learn a lot from children. Just spend 5 minutes talking with, and listening to, a child and see how much you can learn from them.
These are by no means his words verbatim. This is my interpretation of his wisdom. This is what I needed to hear and be reminded of in my life. I am so thankful that I stopped and listened to my divine voice that said this being was one I should spend a few minutes of my precious time with. I think even Time herself approved of this one!
