This, in a nutshell, is wisdom: the ability to see an answer without having to think of an answer. Wisdom is the ‘ah ha, that’s so obvious’ experience most of us have had many times. Few people seem to understand that this voice is always available to us. Wisdom is indeed your inner sense of knowing. It is true mental health, a peaceful state of mind where answers to questions are as plentiful as the problems you see when you aren’t experiencing wisdom. It’s as if wisdom lies in the space between your thoughts, in those quiet moments when your ‘biological computer’ is turned off.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Richard Carlson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/richard-carlson/wise-people-throughout-history-have-been-those-who-saw-that-while/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/351/richard-carlson-8710_history_wise-people-throughout-history-have-been_1275507.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/351/richard-carlson-8710_history_wise-people-throughout-history-have-been_1275507.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/351/richard-carlson-8710_history_wise-people-throughout-history-have-been_1275507.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Wise people throughout history have been those who saw that while life is real, life’s problems are an…” — Richard Carlson", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 16, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Wisdom can be gathered on your downtime. Wisdom that can change the very course of your life will come from the people you are around, the books you read, and the things you listen to or watch on radio or television. Of course, bad information is gathered in your downtime too. Bad information that can change the very course of your life will come from the people you are around, the books you read, and the things you listen to or watch on radio or television. One of wisdom's greatest benefits, is accurate discernment- the learned ability to immediately tell right from wrong. Good from evil. Acceptable from unacceptable. Time well spent from time wasted. The right decision from the wrong decision. And many times this is simply a matter of having the correct perspective. One way to define wisdom is THE ABILITY TO SEE, INTO THE FUTURE, THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR CHOICES IN THE PRESENT. That ability can give you a completely different perspective on what the future might look like... with a degree of intelligence and a hint of wisdom, most people can tell the difference between good and bad. However, it takes a truly wise person to discern the oh-so-thin line between good and best. And that line...[gives you the] perspective that allows you to see clearly the long-term consequences of your choices. ”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Andy Andrews" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/andy-andrews/wisdom-can-be-gathered-on-your-downtime-wisdom-that-can-change-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e9a/andy-andrews-2056_books_wisdom-can-be-gathered-on-your-downtime_2679283.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e9a/andy-andrews-2056_books_wisdom-can-be-gathered-on-your-downtime_2679283.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e9a/andy-andrews-2056_books_wisdom-can-be-gathered-on-your-downtime_2679283.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Wisdom can be gathered on your downtime.
