No gree for anybody

Efo: Personally, I believe it's time for you to update your mindset on certain things. Even iPhone updates its phone every year, and likewise, there are new models of cars released annually. It's been ten years since we crossed paths, and upon meeting you again, not much has changed about you. Your approach to life remains consistent; you haven't stopped saying, "Men are wicked." All your experiences revolve around men taking advantage of you, and I am not surprised. You cannot keep declaring one thing and expect the opposite. I observed that after ten years, nothing about you has changed except for your increasing age. You still rely on men to take care of you. The only skill you've developed is "ways of billing men," and for that, I acknowledge it. The Bible's statement that women are to be "helpmates" doesn't imply lacking personal goals and ambitions in life. Words have power, and life often reflects what you say. Avoid looking at life negatively. Despite challenges, we stay hopeful. Those who avoid risks miss out on stories for their children. I believe sharing later-life lessons early protects your children from similar problems. Learn new skills from time to time. Nigerian movies and Korean series aren't real-life guides. Don't pressure others unnecessarily; we often suffer more in imagination than reality. Give your worries to God, not men.

The Quest for Meaning II



Popo: I was talking to one friend called Stella last week. She was sharing a scripture she had learned that day, which talked about casting all your burdens unto God, and in him, you would find rest; Matthew 11. It then dawned on me, that the reason why you find life difficult is that you do not hear God (Holy Spirit) when he speaks to you. You haven't mastered the art of recognizing his voice. Therefore, you make decisions based on how you feel at that time. And because you do not have guidance from a wise elderly person or you do not seek advice from anyone than your friends, you make mistakes and later may hate yourself for that. Some of the career paths you take are even imposed on you, there is no proper assessment of what you are good at, and this gets you confused as to whom you want to become in life. If only you could hear the still soft voice of the Holy Spirit, many of your choices in life would sink with the will of God for your life. It is only through your gift that you can impact the world greatly because you must love and be good at what you do, to be able to influence others as well. Strive for mastery in whatever field you find yourself in. 


The Quest for Meaning


Aki: The reason why you might be struggling is because the path you’ve chosen is outside the plans your creator has for you. That is why there is a need to go to him on a quest for meaning. I get confused anytime I don't know the meaning of something. I begin to ache and dig deep into my thoughts just so I can figure things out. I sometimes wonder why I have to be going through things I don’t deserve. Because, Lord knows I am a good person. Genuinely, I care and wish well for people. I learned to work on my selfish desires months ago, when I started looking at the bigger picture. That is; aligning my own goals and ambitions to that of the will of God. It hits differently when the meaning of things I’ve been through starts to drop into my spirit. It seems like all of a sudden, everything begins to make sense now, even though some are beyond my understanding. It leaves me with a big smile. Because of how my experiences have shaped me into a better version of me. I may not be proud of the decisions I’ve made in the past concerning relationships with people and my spirituality. I’ve realized some of my decisions results in the situations I often find myself. I hereby encourage everyone to go on a retreat, on a quest for meaning from no one greater than the originator and creator of our lives; God. It is he alone that has all the answers and solutions and also holds the marking scheme to the life required of us. Yet you omit him from your life and seek after prosperity and success on your own. He is worried of your well being and how you treat him like a third party and only your solution centre. Make him your friend, therapist, provider, protector, instructor, etc and your quest for meaning shall be met. It’s not far fetched if you take time to think about it.

Words Still Carry Weight?

Jooo: Your words only carry weight to those you mean a lot to. Even with that, you would have to back it with an amount of action to validate your words as trustworthy. Times have changed where “words or vibes” only could sweep a woman off her feet. Now, most men have mastered the “act of vibing” a lady, but a few show working. Go into a woman’s dm and you would understand what I mean. Other men have capitalized on the act of “show working” and talking less but with bad intentions. Making things difficult for the guys with good intentions who cannot afford to show many workings. The little they do are not cherished enough, but only they know the sacrifices they have to make in order to afford a single outing with the lady. When these efforts are undermined or taken casually, it really hurts them to their core. What is more hurting than your efforts being taken for granted?. Imagine Jesus coming to die for you and you acting like you didn’t really need saving. You live your life as you please and do what you feel like, not taking into consideration if it would hurt Jesus or not. You were on the same page with me until I switched it up a little. It's interesting how when things are being said in your favor you cheer to it but when its not then you switch off. Looking forward to the day words will mean much again, and it would regain its value and the weight it carries, without any trust issues.

I just don't like you


Kofi: If only we can tell how people really feel about us and the perception they have about us. We wouldn’t waste our time trying to make it right with everyone. Truth be told, a lot of people are not real. Their responses, kind gestures, demeanor, words, and character toward us are all faked. It only takes a circumstance to reveal the whole truth. Until they've had enough, we're only being tolerated. If only we could see their expression when they see our call or text. The day we fall into trouble or make a mistake is the day we hear what they truly think about us. But why fake it if they don’t mean it, you might ask. It’s easier said than done, would be my answer. If you’ve not been in such a situation whereby you just have to condone someone for the time not ind The words you speak and the choices you make are two ways to tell if you are wise or not. It’s that simple.

My 2022 Address


Kojo: Sorry for the delay, life has a way of keeping us busy. Nevertheless, we thank God for life, and we will never stop what we love doing. I didn’t write a “recap for 2021”, but in case you want to still hear about my view on 2021; lemme know. 

This year, stop beating around the bush; be straight forward with your opinions and thoughts respectfully. Trying to sugar-coat words and be extra nice allows a lot of people to stress you unnecessarily. Something you could have easily prevented from the onset. A lot of complicated issues were once simple to deal with. It’s interesting how people start acting funny when you accord them extra privileges you don’t usually do for others. 

That was just by the way, also this year; decide to stay positive no matter what. Decide not to be bothered by present circumstances, neither be ye pressured by peers. Don’t rush into things you are not ready for. Don’t also be lured into making decisions you haven’t thought through thoroughly. Be ready to explore this year; try new things and everything you’ve felt reluctant to do. You’d be shocked the capabilities you’ve slept on all these years. 

Don’t belittle yourself this year. The “as for me” comments are too much. As for you everything you cannot do. If people are making plans and don’t add you it’s purposely because of the “as for me” comments. Too many excuses; sometimes all you need to do is make up your mind. Nothing changes with maintaining old routines, new routines brings about the changes we seek for in our lives. 

Find a way to stick to the things you planned to do. People don’t take you serious anymore when you agree to something and don’t deliver. You might not really care what they think but it would go against you, eventually, when it becomes a general opinion about you. It’s good to have certain people in your lives who advice you and push you to do more. Keep people who tell you the truth, because you will need them. 

Have a fruitful year and have an opened mind to things. Don’t always be in your corner like no one likes you. You wouldn’t enjoy life with that perception. Have fun and work hard, this is your year!

Let's Get This Straight

Nate: I believe many mistakes would be avoided if we can hear from the Holy Spirit and know exactly what He instructs us to do. It is because we are not spiritually sensitive and we haven't gotten to the place of discernment, that is why we do everything out of our free will. We live according to how we feel, and that never works. I love to tell you the truth as it is, because "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free", John 8:32. Ignorance is no excuse in the spirit, therefore you not knowing is only at your own risk. Just like how an ignorant girl is being (preyed, manipulated, exploited) by men, is the same way an ignorant soul is treated by evil spirits in the spirit realm. You cannot afford to live not under the shadows of the Almighty. We live in a spiritual world ruled by the unseen. There are territorial spirits, rulers of darkness in the higher places, demons etc, that seek to devour your soul day in and day out. They set traps and connive just to see your downfall. They were in existence even before your great grandfather was born, hence they've aged in trickery and deception. You cannot outfox them with just a few decades you've got on earth to live. That is where the "Ancient of Days" comes into play. The Mighty warrior, great in battle, Jehovah is His name. The "I am that I am", "The beginning and the End". All knowledge and power radiates from Him. Victory belongs to Him. You need Him more than He needs you; don't kid yourself. He has the whole world in His hands.

Fake Love on the Streets


Ama: The moment we need a favor is when we realize the circle of people we find ourselves. There we get to know that all the "if you need anything lemme know" wasn't really as serious as we took it. It was just one of those things they said out of formality. Just like people say, "I miss you too" out of formality. You'd even notice the attention people give to "dbee kids" is different from the regular kids if they don't know them. I mean, everything in this life is "money money money!!!". Most of the youth songs are money related. Family members with money are given more respect. Grown men take advantage of young ladies because of money. People are killing others and many marry because of money. The basic values of life like "love, mercy, compassion, respect, gratitude, justice" have been distorted. We don't really care anymore, we look out for our interest in every situation. We hardly put others first, even if an aunty gives us money to share with our siblings we use seniority to cheat them. We only start complaining when karma finds us at our workplace; forgetting how we cheat our siblings at home. How I wish we all would live with the golden rule; "do unto others what you want others to do unto you". Its just wickedness if we have been a victim of heartbreak, yet we go ahead to break another's heart thinking we are now heartbreak proof. Then an upgraded version of heartbreak finds us, then we start saying, "Love is a scam", forgetting it is the consequence of our own actions catching up to us. All I'm driving at is this; "let's be real"and start abiding by the golden rule. At the end of the day, "we'll reap what we sow".

Looking Back


 Kojo: Anytime I feel frustrated in life, I cast my mind a few years back, and then I thank God for progress. The progress might not be significant materially, yet emotionally, mentally, spiritually, physically I recognize the progress in my life. Even how I use to react to information now has changed. My perspective of life has been edited and updated. I've noticed the maturity, even though I might still cry when watching a documentary of someone's life. It doesn't make me any weaker, because it is recorded that "Jesus wept". A God who came to dwell amongst men, had the tendency to showcase human nature; it did not make him weak. Experiences in life has shaped me into being a better person. This same experiences if not channeled properly creates bitterness towards a particular gender, race, person etc. Although, I do not give up easily, I have learnt to accept the truth and allow things to play out rather than force things. Most of the time it is God at work or the consequence of my actions. It is one thing knowing that the truth hurts and it is another thing experiencing that "The truth hurts". I have come also to understand that my life is a testimony for others based on my experiences and how I use them to my advantage. The fact that someone might go through the same thing I've been through and give up shows my caliber of person. There is light at the End of the Tunnel. We move!

Finding Life's Purpose II

Vybes : I won't lie to you, life isn't easy. There is no constant formula that works for everyone. A formula to success may work for many, but not you. That is why there comes a phase in our lives; required of us to explore different options in order to discover ourselves and what works for us. Discovering ourselves doesn't necessarily mean we stick to the negative aspects of ourselves. We may discover that we are heartless, rude, quick-tempered, shallow, distant, snobbish, arrogant, prideful due to life's experiences. After discovering these and any other negative aspect of us, it is then up to us to work on ourselves to better ourselves. Life is already stressful, so we must try as much as possible to work on us. We don't need to carry our baggage full of stress to someone to bare them. It is only natural that they would get tired along the way. They should see that we are also putting in the effort to better ourselves, then they would be encouraged to willingly help. We should have our dreams, goals, achievements, sense of direction, life's path before we find that person who can guide, support, encourage, lead us to that destination. We don't find someone and just throw our burdens on them, remember, they have their burdens which they also need help with. Some people don't know what they want in the first place. They only have an idea of what they want. Which is a good thing, because at least they know. We must then have time for ourselves in our lonely and alone times. Those are the times we get to spend time with ourselves to narrow down on the idea of the type of life we want, and the path we want to take to get there. Moving with the flow doesn't help; having a plan does. Ask questions, research, let's do our findings from the right people. Let's allow our instincts lead us, cause it's mostly right. Shortcuts isn't allowed!. Let's have time for ourselves to grow into the person we want to become. Let us put in the effort rather than leave it to time and chance. We must be ready and qualified when the opportunity presents itself. God has provided the means, let us take advantage of it.

Finding Life's Purpose I

At this point, all I can be is, "grateful". The little ungratefulness I've experienced from others has got me ordering my steps carefully. In this life where everyone is looking out for themselves and family. All we can do is pray not to fall into troubles we cannot contain. Also, strength to pull through those troubles life presents, because it's fighting through those troubles that we build capability and it shapes us to become whom we are. Without them, we wouldn't have a story to share for others to learn from. I would say at this juncture; that perseverance is key. What I have observed is that , is it through our hardships that many of us find our life's purpose. Reason being that, it is during such times that we explore many options. We do a little of everything then through this we gather more knowledge along the way. As the saying goes, "experience is the best teacher". We tend to cherish life more and take it more seriously, because we know what we've been through and sacrifices we've made to get where we are. Even little experiences we overlook, like; taking care of our little nieces, nephews, younger siblings, Sunday school children. Also, grooms us towards bringing up our own children. Having an idea of how something is done is different from gaining experience from how it's done. That is why married couple tend to bring their mothers into the picture whenever they bring forth child. The point I'm trying to make here is, make sure we think through every experience we've had along the way. Write down our lessons, because a time would come our advice would be needed due to the experience we gathered along the way.

Limitations on Our Faith

Kojo: Lemme tell you this story and how it opened my eyes to this topic. One day, my rent was due and I had to redraw this huge amount of money. But my account was a savings account which I opened after school, hence I set a lower limit for the total amount of money I could redraw in a day; not thinking of the future. 

I started working, and along the line my current account visa card got missing. All I had was my savings account visa card, and I still had this limit I set years ago on my savings account at the back of my mind. A week before my rent was due, I planned to take the money in bits from Monday to Friday, then would make the full payment that weekend. 

But a colleague at work suggested that I withdraw all the money I needed at a goal, and that I shouldn't judge my current situation with my past. I went ahead since it was a good advice; "what was the harm in trying". Only to my surprise, that I could actually withdraw all the money at once. And then it hit me, that we are limited by our own level of faith. The extent of faith you have determines how God adjust your miracle or breakthrough. It won't happen if you don't test your faith by stretching it a bit further. Most of us, we've caged our faith. We've set a limit to it. Why don't you believe God can use someone to bless your life by buying you a house and a car also?. Ye of little faith.

Some people never receive certain types of miracles, because in their minds they've set a limit to their faith and they don't believe such things can happen to them. If only you would believe it's possible, it can happen for you too. An unbeliever can have more faith than a believer. Don't limit yourself because of your past or background. With God, all things are possible. If only your faith was as little as a master seed. Giving it a try means you've exercised faith; that is all you need. God no go shame us!

A Touch of Gratitude

 Kojo: Complaining never solves anything. Life is full of little little choices that we sometimes don't seem to realize. We can choose to see the bright side of everything or vice versa. Sometimes, even when we meet the right person we expect a mistake from them in order to conclude that men are trash or women ain't loyal. One thing I noticed is that whatever you look out for, you would receive in this life.  I've owned this blog for 6years now. Yes, its been quite a journey. I've shared on pain and happiness alike; dependent on my emotions. Trust me, I could write on 3 different topics a day. 130 write ups in a year. I had people always expecting a write ups from me and I thank God for their lives, because they inspired me to write more. And to the ones who judged just from reading one script, Ayekoooo!. Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown. Luke 4:24.

When Life Hits You Hard

Kobina: One thing that I pray for, is that, you don't get dragged by the troubles of this life. For we are living in a world that everyone is thinking of particularly themselves, and partly: their family, and in some occasions: their friends. Therefore, when life shakes our walls a little, we suddenly feel all alone. Life in itself is stressful enough to burden oneself with another's troubles; our mentality. Hence, when we tell our troubles to a friend on three/four occasions, we appear to be a liability, depending on the intensity of our troubles and the help we seek in return. Then after finding courage to confide in someone, they encourage us and  end up saying, "Call me whenever you need someone to talk to". Then they forget about us for a while cause they also have their own troubles. Depression then sets in, and bitterness knocks on our door each night as we try to go to sleep. This develops partial wickedness, cause we feel all alone. And that is why I pray that we do not experience this part of life, because it changes us one way or the other when we sail through. After years or months or weeks of struggles, midnight cries, trauma, hurt, pain. Trust me, we do not come out the same. I hereby pray for us, that may we always meet our helper in downtimes. May we never be left stranded and without hope. May the Lord God meet us with our needs whenever we fall short. Amen and God Bless You for reading.

Thoughts

Akwasi: I've been thinking a lot lately. About necessary stuffs, not vice versa. I guess you might be wondering what are some unnecessary stuffs we worry our heads over. I remember; a girl once told me that I should have wore slippers cause people would say, "I'm overly dressed than she was" on our impromptu outing. On the other hand, I found this misconception to be needless, even if we were dating. Lets focus on the necessary stuffs now. Nowadays, everyone is looking out for themselves. For inner peace, inner joy, comfort, money, happiness: name it. We find the qualities we're looking for in a person and yet something irrelevant holds us back. Others are just indecisive; one minute we're all in and the next minute we make up an excuse. I wonder where all the love went to?. On occasions such as birthdays, weddings etc; the best we do is post a picture of the person. If the person is fortunate to see it, then fine, if not, we've done our part. You would agree that we've stopped giving gifts on these occasions, unless the person is a relative, close friend, partner. Again, I ask, where is all the love gone to?. I wouldn't say that we do not care, but that is just how the world is gearing towards currently. Could it be the "each man for himself" ideology creeping in on us little by little?, or is it that we only look out for our own?. I wonder what went wrong and how we lost it. How it has become so much a big part of us that we see nothing wrong with it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we don't show love to one another; we do. Our mode of showing love is what I'm addressing and making a big fuss about, because it is not enough. The way we fancy being showed love is not the way we approach love to others ourselves. Are we broke or we are using that as an excuse?. What shows if we get rich, we would give just as much either?. Personally, I think showing love has nothing to do with our state but our mindset. We can do better.

Personalize Your Thanksgiving


Ama: Don't you think it is more appropriate and appreciating when we personalize our thanksgiving than compare?. Because we all have our individual race to run and battles to fight. So the fact that our mates are ahead has nothing to do with us being "left behind". Because our age maybe the same yet our time of breakthrough might be different. Rather we making the effort to focus on our lives and bettering ourselves is ideal. Why crown your thanksgiving on the disadvantaged or less privileged?. Mostly we compare our lives with the sick and the dead as a reason for our thanksgiving. So what if no one died or fell sick?. Meaning we don't have any better reason for our thanksgiving?. We can rightfully thank God for good health and His mercies that has brought us this far without having to compare. How would you feel when someone uses you as a reason for their thanksgiving; that they are better of than you are?. Don't beat around the bush with your thanksgiving. Again I repeat, personalize it. There will always be someone who would share in your thanksgiving. Besides, for the mere fact that the universe exist can be a form of thanksgiving to God. All I am drawing our attention to is for the fact that there is more to be thankful for without having to compare our lives with others. Finally I say: Personalize your thanksgiving. God Bless You!

Christmas Came with Love

Timothy: I've written hundreds of write-ups on love and yet there is still more to write about. Fundamentally, it all began with love, if you think about it analytically.  Referring to creation, where it all began. 80% of people's status are about either showing love or hating on love. Many doubt love until they meet their right pair and they are swept off their feet by it. Others settle on one of their options, judging from the physical and mental; building on love eventually. Love takes effort and consistency, else we wouldn't be taken seriously. Love is mostly wrongly perceived, that is why I concluded on this fact that it takes maturity to handle love. We all know maturity has nothing to do with age, but our life's experience. How beautiful it is when we finally find that one person that brings out the realness in us. Finding that person who accepts us for whom we are isn't something easy at all. Cause we all come with our own luggages full of conditions. Hopefully, we find someone who ticks a lot of boxes on our preference sheet. Eventually, we start looking out for red flags. We take quite a long time considering whether we can actually live with those red flags we notice. Indeed, love is sweet when we are with the right person. Their company is heaven to us, and their absence is a more like a burden on us. How I wish love would locate everyone in this life. Cause, life in itself is stressful and we wouldn't want anyone stressing our lives on top of that. Understanding is a secret ingredient in any love story. Finding that love of our life who understands all our gestures and body language is like a dream come through. And treats us like the King/Queen we always fantasied about. Don't conclude that its love so soon and don't give up on love either. To be Continued.

That Christmas Feeling


Regardless; the rich or poor, liberal or confined, everyone gets their fair share of happiness. It's a time of the season; God smiles on humanity and pours down his cup of happiness on us. And that replaces the tough and rough memories we encountered during the year with gratitude and thanksgiving. Filled with a sense of hope and a fresh start for the following year. While we make plans and resolutions to better ourselves the next year. How it feels good to see the choir rehearsing the carols and people redecorating or adding some lightening to their homes to brighten every corner. Churches lifting 'crossover' banners all around town. Children busy helping out at home, receiving visitors and gifts of all kinds. Families having reunions, catching up with other family members; giving updates and having fun. It's a time of giving and receiving, blessings and celebrating, oneness and love. Paying humage to the one above. Depicting His love and sharing in His selfless act of giving. Praising with the Angels on one accord. For we were once lost but now forgiven. Living in His light, in His will in which we are driven. That Christmas Feeling is that of a season of remembrance. Looking at how far we've come and being thankful to God for it.

Why we must offer our best


Bryce:  I discovered this simple truth, that the reason why we cannot bypass God is simply because He is the best and there is no other besides Him. And that is enough reason to tell someone if they are curious about our God and why we worship Him. 

He is at the top of the pyramid, because He is the best and whatever He does is the best. An epitome, is He giving us His only Son, Jesus, who is the best redemption to man kind. That is why everything we offer Him must be the best, because we have been made aware that, He is the best and He does what is best for us. Hence, He demands the best from us as well. 

Let me give us an illustration to clarify things better. Why do we go to that special barber, seamstress or sales person when we need a service that requires their expertise?. It is plainly because, the service they render us, to us, is the best. Reason why we leave someone for another is because we want the best for us. Meaning, being "good or better" in this context is not enough.

The same reason why a number of people are interviewed, out of which one is picked, is for the cause of searching for the best person who fits the criteria. Hence, there is the need for us to render our best in every aspect of our lives. And the final reason why we should render our best service is because we have a spirit enemy, who works through our kind, for the sake of our downfall. 

This is a good reason for us to do our best spiritually also, through prayer and service to God. In order to be victorious against our adversaries, for we do not wrestle against flesh nor blood, but against principalities and rulers of darkness. In conclusion, if we want the best results and the best recommendations, then we must put in our best.

We All Need Peace of Mind


Timaa: Many women aspire to marry early, and anxiety often arises if they haven't found the right partner by their late twenties or early thirties. The pressure increases, especially when peers or younger siblings are entering into marriage. Ultimately, what everyone seeks is peace of mind – a state free from worry and anxiety. It's a common experience to realize that many worries from the past were irrelevant.

Arguably, some delay marriage due to being in relationships with partners not ready for commitment, discovering this fact too late. Others wait for an idealized person, failing to recognize potential and shared vision in someone else.

At the end of the day, the universal hope is for peace of mind – freedom from the world's worries, particularly within the haven of our homes. The desire is that our life partner doesn't contribute to external stress and adds to the tranquility at home. Hence, choosing a life partner is advised not to be rushed, as it is a lifelong journey. A happy home is crucial, as it influences seeking happiness elsewhere, potentially affecting our overall lives.

Consider red flags with your life partner, ponder if you can live with them, and if you can contribute to making each other better. Always remember the ultimate goal: Peace of Mind.

You Need Wisdom to Make It - Part 2

 Ama: You would agree that it's confusing when you have options and you have to choose only one out of them, even if its a life partner. That is why people keep making mistakes of choosing the wrong companion. It's quite simple if you are differentiating between orange and yellow. But it takes wisdom to tell the difference between repose gray and mindful gray. Mostly, we are being taught how to separate orange from yellow, but life presents us with situations that requires us to separate repose gray from mindful gray. To make us have a feel of what the real world is all about, our teachers would teach us 1+1, yet in the exam you would see questions like 1-1x3. And that prepares us towards life, teaching us to be prepared even for the unexpected in life. An epitome is the year 2020.

You Need Wisdom to Make It

Ama: Solomon discovered a certain mystery out of wisdom, and so he said, "You can make many plans, but the LORD’s purpose will prevail.", Prov. 19:21. I wanted to know why he made this statement though. Then it came to my realization that someone who was so immensely rich that all his cups were made of gold, he would have had so many plans and projects. I think Solomon understood the principles of this world better. No wonder people from all walks of life came just to feed off his wisdom. I once read that, wisdom is 'knowledge rightly applied'. And then I knew, that going to school to acquire knowledge and understanding to sharpen our skills isn't enough. But having the wisdom to channel it into profitable use is all there is. That particular idea that leads to our breakthrough is the wisdom we long for. Anything at all that was invented or discovered in this world was out of wisdom. In other words, the work of wisdom is to enable us; invent and discover. Truth is, you need wisdom in order to make it in this life. The word "wise" was gotten out of wisdom. Meaning, lacking wisdom makes you a fool in a situation. In other words, ignorance makes us look foolish. A wise person is characterized by wisdom, marked by deep understanding, keen discernment and a capacity for sound judgement. Anyone who is specialized in any field of work has a deeper understanding others don't. That deeper understanding sharpens his/her capacity to give sound judgement and therefore makes them wise in that field of work. What are you wise at doing?. What do people come to you for help in? It only takes wisdom to do what you do best. It takes wisdom to work smart and not just work hard.
