If only people were born with all the wisdom they would need to get through life. Everything would be so much easier that way.

The journey to wisdom is a long and painful process littered with regrets and mistakes. But each mistake is a learning experience that adds to your wisdom. And the road ahead is always brighter, because you have learned, and will continue to learn, from your mistakes.

Action for the day: Meditate on wisdom today. Are you using this powerful and hard-earned tool? When you are faced with a challenge, ask yourself, "What is the wise thing for me to do?"
