PATHWAY TO WISDOM
In the journey of life, obtaining wisdom is essential. Wisdom has been intertwined in all aspects of life and can lead to more incredible blessings and success. Far from mere knowledge, it is the ability to use knowledge productively. While gaining wisdom can be a long process, we can find guidance on the path to wisdom by exploring these three pathways.

Gaining wisdom often starts with understanding oneself and staying in tune with our feelings, thoughts, and actions. This requires assessing oneself honestly, including strengths and mistakes or weaknesses. When we gain self-awareness, it helps us understand how we are connected with others and our environment, which is essential in making the right decisions.

The second pathway to wisdom is a willingness to learn, even in the face of challenges. Knowledge is vital for learning and growing but cannot guarantee wisdom. The way to true wisdom is to understand that challenges and the failures that come with them are necessary for our growth. Rather than staying passive for fear of failing, we must be willing to confront and learn from such experiences to gain much-needed life lessons. Such life lessons will evolve into wisdom that helps turn our wounds into wisdom.

Finally, the bible tells us, "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘥𝘰𝘮" (Proverbs 9:10). This means a firm trust in God and an awareness of who He is in our life. Fearing the Lord removes our pride and any distraction from what is essential, making it easier to understand from a different perspective. Not only will this practice help us gain wisdom faster, but it will also help us build moral and ethical character.
The three pathways: understanding self, willingness to learn, and fear of God, open up avenues of wisdom that can be otherwise hard to traverse. Exploring these pathways can help us sift through life's difficulties and come out with wisdom and peace of mind.
Proverbs 4:7 aptly states, "𝘞𝘪𝘴𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦; 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦, 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘥𝘰𝘮. 𝘛𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦, 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨." So, get it!
"𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘥𝘰𝘮." ― Aristotle
"𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨."
― Socrates
"𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩, 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘶𝘱 𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴." ― Paulo Coelho
