Wisdom… What’s the price we pay for it? Being wise comes with a lot of responsibility. In many instances, being wise brings evil, destruction and a need for elimination. Eliminating people, things, or just the unnecessary, can be very draining. The focus should not be on the departure, but on what is gained during the process.
How does this relate to wisdom?
In an effort to clearly receive true wisdom, we must first identify the areas that require it. Life can cloud our judgements, and have us unable to identify what are true strengths are. Figuring out where it should be be applied most is crucial.
Clearer the focus the better.
What do you do when something isn’t clear? You clean and eliminate anything blocking that clarity. Whether it’s unnecessary stress, people, or material things, it must be removed.

As we gain wisdom, we become sensitive and very direct. Your vision is no longer cloudy, so you can identify when things are out of place. Understand this is necessary, and MUST happen.
Lastly, be sure to ACT, make choices that support the wisdom you gained, and put it them action. Feel great about the new knowledge you received, and put it to good use.
