Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Wisdom
He who would distinguish the true from the false must have an adequate idea of what is true and false.
— Baruch Spinoza
Wisdom is common sense. It will help us make the right choices in our attitudes and behavior. That way we can continue our spiritual progress.
Sometimes, wisdom is simply willingness to accept with faith the things we don’t know from personal experience. We must receive, with an open mind, the messages of those who have lived through the problems we are facing for the first time.
We need to look for and listen to the wisdom in others. If we do, we will gain confidence in our own ability to tell the true from the false. We will begin to practice the principles of our recovery program in all parts of our lives.
Wisdom is earned. Wisdom is precious. The wise need simply to stand in silence for their wisdom to reveal itself. Let me learn wisdom.
