Logic and Wisdom

Today I had to choose between logic and wisdom.

I chose wisdom.

Wisdom is that internal knowing that defies logic. It does not dwell in the place of worry over things like mortgage payments. Instead it flourishes in the space that does not require betrayal of your inherent self.

Wisdom means following the path of grace, when logic tells you that’s not smart. But, wisdom knows better. Wisdom knows doing otherwise will cause pain to the true self. And self-inflicted pain is far more damaging than what anyone else can dole out. 

So, I chose wisdom.

By doing so I made room for something better to fill that space in my life, and for me to be transformed into something better as a result.

Wisdom.
