Is Wisdom a gift from the Gods?

Is Wisdom a Gift from the Gods?

I wrote the following in an earlier post, ‘Will your Journey of Life take you Down the Road to Wisdom or Perdition?’,

‘As the ancient philosophers would say, “Wisdom is a much vaunted prize from the Gods!  Where only a  select few of seasoned competitors, who have trained hard in the sport of virtue, can lay claim to it once they pass all the tests of life.  Upon receiving their prize their minds are then rewarded by being set free to ascend to the very heavens themselves.”’

The Gods may or may not exist but we can become gods of ourselves if we choose to use the gift of wisdom to conquer all mortal obstacles  that dares stand in our way.

Let us now elevate our minds to the heavens so that we may excel in the art of living, which will enlighten us on how to realise a paradise of our own making. Read more…

Will your Journey of Life take you Down the Road to Wisdom or Perdition?

The Thinker muses lives questions with the use of wisdom

Take the Road to Wisdom to Find a better Life

Wisdom, wisdom and more wisdom!  How many more times must I spell out this simple but obscure six letter word that hides a beneficent gift to humankind.

The reason for encouraging you to attain this rare commodity, is because of the seemingly sad state of today’s superficial and ignorant world.

Whilst pursuing the things that we think will make us happy, paradoxically, they eventually serve to make us more miserable as we continue down the path of  self-destruction.

Why not get off this ignorant path of perdition, my friend, and instead discover for yourself a pathless trail towards self-knowledge, self-improvement and limitless wisdom.

Apply the Bruce Lee Philosophy of 7 Steps Towards Self-Improvement

Bruce Lee offers words of wisdom towards self-improvement

What can we learn from Bruce Lee’s philosophical wisdom of Martial Arts and life in general?

As I have already pointed out in my post ‘Code of Conduct to Living: 4 Rules You Must Follow To Achieve Personal Growth’ we can learn much from his philosophical style ‘Jeet Kune Do’ in regards personal growth, overcoming obstacles and adapting to life’s changes.

Now we come to the subject of self-improvement which was something that Lee voraciously pursued everyday of his short life.  Lee masochistically pushed his mind, body and spirit to their limits trying to achieve perfection itself.

Family and Friends are the Best Presents Money Can Never Buy

December 21st, 2009 Jason Cooper 6 comments

What's more important than a wrapped present?

What heavenly delights awaits us this Christmas?  A King’s feast?  An abundance of expensive gifts?  A chance to drink as much as what’s contained in a brewery?  A chance to become the Karaoke King, or Queen, by participating in a good old sing-song despite having a voice like a bullfrog?  Or maybe a time for joyful celebration amidst heated arguments over who gets the TV remote?

I say thee nay!  Be wise, my friend and see Christmas for what it really is – which should be spent sharing precious time with friends and family.

Christmas should not be spent just on getting stressed and relinquishing the little money we have on meaningless stuff just to satisfy our guilty conscience. Read more…
