Life?
Satjit Kumar
Writes for Living-smartly.com, a website based
on content for being sensible. His favorite
topics are health, gifting, [vedic maths / Vedic
Mathematics], being wise, healthy and
financially sufficient.
Life is a beautiful gift of nature, and to live life beautifully is a gift of
wisdom. It gives us the acumen to lead a meaningful life. However, it
is difficult to define wisdom. It encompasses so many factors
essential to making our lives fruitful.
Wisdom cannot be taught but experienced. Researchers and
psychologists concur that wisdom involves a unification of cognitive
elements like experience and knowledge, reflective elements, such as
the ability to scrutinize oneself and a given situation, and prosocial
elements such as generosity, understanding, and compassion to
manage any unpredictable circumstances.
It is debatable whether wisdom is essential for leading a good life?
Different theories and research are emerging to measure the role of
wisdom in determining a good life.
How do you gain wisdom to balance your life?
Education, life experience, and critical thinking facilitate greater wisdom.
How you apply your knowledge and experience to solve conflicts and
settle them in the best possible ways shows your level of wisdom to lead
a good life. Being able to consider multiple perspectives and then create a
refined way of thinking is the most crucial trait of accomplishing wisdom.
The ability to solve the problem
When a person can successfully apply this integration of practical and
abstract knowledge rationally to solve life issues, he could be called a
truly wise person. A good life integrates your ability to solve problems and
reflect on them. It is a capability developed through knowledge and
everyday experiences of life. The more you learn from your mistakes, and
the more you examine things that didn’t turn out the way you wanted them
to, you gain wisdom in life. Utilizing your learning to fix any adverse
scenario helps you gain wisdom and balance your life in the long run.
The power of Decision making
There is nothing called a right decision or a wrong decision but rather a
decision that perfectly fits to gain a win-win situation. This power of
decision-making is cultivated from wisdom. Oftentimes life gives us
challenges that can be overcome through the power of decision making.
Decision comprises certain contextual factors that help us identify a
perfect fit between the demands of a particular situation and how you use
your life experience to handle that situation. The art of decision-making is
crucial to leading a good life.
Wisdom- is an essential ingredient to leading a good life:
So, wisdom is an essential component of leading a beautiful life. It
enhances your ability to empathize, embrace uncertainties of life, seek
diversity, take the long-term perspective, be considerate, and most
significantly help build self-confidence. Wisdom gives you the power to
understand life from a broader point of view. It has the power to influence
all aspects of your human life, whether mental, emotional, financial, or
physical.
We don’t just learn from our past experiences, learning from the
experiences of people helps us. Hence, wisdom is gained over time, thus
making it a vital component of survival.
