We all have different kinds of intellectual gifts. Some people are very precise and detail oriented, noticing every tiny item, and nuance. Others have a more common-sense ability that allows them to see things simply and clearly. We’re all different and each have our own gifts to offer. If we value information, we may seek advanced education to help us understand more. Education and intellectual prowess are wonderful attributes to pursue, but they don’t always increase our ability to use wisdom in our reasoning. Intellect and wisdom are two very different things. Intellect allows us to comprehend and understand facts and procedures easily. Wisdom is the ability to use our intellect in ways that are beneficial and helpful in moving us forward. We can gain millions of facts, and understand endless data, but if we aren’t wise, can still make poor decisions. Knowing how things work is one thing, but understanding how we can make them work for us is quite another. We’re in control of our lives and every decision, and if we make choices based only on facts and nothing else, we may not reach the conclusions we desire. Wisdom helps us to look at everything objectively, consider all possible influences and outcomes, and then choose the best road ahead. Everyone has the capability of being wise, and we can learn to make the best decisions possible. We have all the insight and intuition we need to comprehend even small implications. Our perceptions help us discern the best road ahead and comprehend the many possible outcomes of every choice. Success is there for us when we consider every aspect moving forward and we can choose well.

It’s possible to become arrogant and believe we have all the answers. If we won’t tolerate disagreement, we close doors that may be beneficial and helpful when making important decisions. Most of our decisions involve other people and how our choices impact them is important. By being open to every suggestion and idea, we will make the best choices, and reach the conclusions we desire.

Some things can’t be learned from schools or books. Life is filled with all kinds of developments and complications, and sometimes we must rely more on our sense of what’s right instead of what the facts say. We know what we want to do and where we want to go. We can see everything clearly and with patience and wisdom, make the best choices for our next steps. Every destination is within reach and we have everything we need to succeed. Nothing is impossible and with determination and focus we can achieve every goal and make our dreams come true.

Today if you’ve been relying on your intellect to move forward, remember there is more in play than facts. You have all the wisdom you need to discern the best road ahead. Success is always there for you. Look at everything clearly, decide what you want, and then step forward with confidence. You are strong and capable, and you will succeed.

There are all kinds of people in the world. There are unlimited expressions, beliefs and lifestyles. The scope of our differences is vast and as we span the globe, we can see endless variations to the human experience. Even in our personal circle, there are many different interpretations and decisions being made. We’re all unique and individual, and entitled to our personal choices. Sometimes we meet people we quickly understand and feel a close affinity for. But other times we interact with those who are very different and we struggle to understand them. It may seem like they are speaking a foreign language. We can try to find common ground, and often we’ll discover something we share. However, there may be times when we’re so different, we can’t relate to them or discern their beliefs. We all have our own choices and decisions to make, and can create our lives any way we choose. We never have to fit a certain model or do things like others. However, even if we’re very different, we can find ways to communicate and interact with others that is mutually satisfying and beneficial. By accepting individual tastes and preferences, even if they are foreign to our own, we can open the door to effective communication that helps us get closer and find similarities we can relate to. We’re all individuals and it’s the variety that brings great enrichment. We can be confident in who we are and allow others to express themselves as they choose. Reaching out and accepting difference will bring great satisfaction and depth to our lives.

Learning a foreign language takes a lot of practice. At first, we may be intimidated by the enormity of trying to communicate in a completely new way, but with practice our confidence will grow, and if we stick with it, we’ll make what is foreign familiar, and gain fluency. The same is true when we’re interacting with someone who is completely different than we are. We may feel uncomfortable at the beginning, but as we talk to them and collaborate with them, we will begin to relax and understand them more easily.

If every flower on earth was yellow, the sameness may affect our attraction to them. When we do the same things every day, speak to the same people, and go to the same places, we may feel at ease expecting the same things again and again. But variety intensifies our interest and peaks our attention. Our lives are enriched and embellished when step onto new roads. Life is filled with possibilities and opportunities for growth and enrichment. We are wise enough, and brave enough, to embrace what is extraordinary and exceptional.

Today if you’ve been shying away from something foreign because you don’t understand it or are uncomfortable, remember what is foreign becomes familiar when we get involved. There is so much possible and you have unlimited potential. Open a new door, make a new friend, and embrace all the blessings possible. You are amazing and have so much to offer. We all want to know you. Share yourself with those around you, and show us who you are.
