Seeds of Wisdom

The seeds of wisdom are planted each day, but they must be tended to, watered and provided sunlight for growth...and this care is very much an individual effort...it’s the practice of self-care.

For many years, I’ve followed the philosophy of the Indian Proverb, A House With Four Rooms by doing something for my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being daily. This is the core of my life because having this strong foundation allows me to build my Intentional Life. 

As an individual, there are several ways you can nurture the seeds of wisdom in your own life. For example, your physical space includes your physical body, as well as the space around you. You can exercise, eat healthy foods, and practice personal grooming habits to improve your physical well-being. You can also de-clutter and organize your personal space, home, and work place. There are several ways to improve the well-being of the environment by having less waste, not littering, and keeping our communities clean.

Your mental or intellectual well-being thrives on learning new things, having new thoughts, and practicing good habits. Nurturing the seed of wisdom includes reading, have great conversations, and practicing a new skill. Your personal development provides you the knowledge to think and converse on many subjects, but it also helps you with making decisions...decisions that can affect your emotional well-being.

The Indian Proverb cautions spending too much time in any one area over another, especially in your emotional space. Learning coping strategies and techniques to manage your emotional well-being is essential to living an Intentional Life. One wisdom seed to tend to is choosing how to respond in any given situation while knowing you do not have control over anything someone else might say or do. Coping skills are important to managing life.

The seed of wisdom for your spiritual well-being is valuable to living a life of faith, gratitude, and forgiveness. It has the power to put your life in balance by allowing you to experience grace, peace, and love. Who wouldn’t want more of that, right?

So, today, I’d like to encourage you to tend your Seeds of Wisdom...the nurturing you do today will connect you to your tomorrows.
