Dear Friends. If everything we did in our life held no meaning for us, we would never gain the wonderful gift of wisdom. Wisdom comes from seeing the depth of our actions when we put some kind of meaning into even the simplest of our activities throughout our day.
Thoughts, feelings, prayers, all contain an energy of some kind. When we put, say, love into our daily chores we can see a type of glow or new energy around the areas that we clean or spruce up. Our home then has more meaning to us and it gives back to us the love that we put into it.
When one lives a meaningful life, one can look back and see the lessons and even the events that led up to learning life skills and experiencing new feelings about various things we do. There is depth in the results of our actions when we put meaning to them. We begin to realize that life is what we put into it, and also as a result of the effort we give it, what is returned back to us.
Wisdom comes from feeling deeply the many experiences we have encountered throughout our life, whether they have been enjoyable or difficult to bear. We gain wisdom from seeing where we started from, and where we have landed now. This does not mean how much material wealth we have gained throughout our life........that does not bring wisdom in itself. It is how we have treated others and handled ourselves during the good and difficult times. What have we learnt? Are we content with where we are now?
One lesson is very clear in life, and that is to never wait for something to happen to make your life better. Life is how each individual perceives it through their own eyes! One person may be extremely content and happy within to live their life in a modest flat with few responsibilities, outside of themselves. Another person may not be able to function in life unless they acquire exactly what they want, and go hard at attaining more and more.
Yes, all in one's perception. The wise person sits back and smiles, within. Content that they have done their best with what they have, and has not harmed another soul in the process. Seeing the 'meaning' in everything in life is for the wise, for they have the insight to know that their actions, speech and thoughts are all energy that has repercussions in life.
