Wisdom is like money in the bank. Knowledge is power. What you don't know can hurt you. We've heard people use these expressions, but what exactly do they mean and why should we care? One can be a computer whiz and savvy in other areas, but not necessarily wise. That's because wisdom has nothing to do with intelligence or any particular talents. Intelligence only facilitates the process of obtaining that information. This is good news because it means that a person of average intelligence is actually able to gain wisdom and insight.

Wisdom is a level of high awareness and the ability to see beyond the surface level to see the unity in life which results from being able to connect with that ultimate source of life, the infinite intelligence and power we call God. The benefits of wisdom are similar to the benefits of light over darkness. Being unaware makes one live unconsciously much like living in the dark where the experience of life becomes dull, devoid of meaning, purpose and real joy (we all know about artificial joy produced by accumulating lots of 'toys' which leave us with a sense of emptiness and a vague longing for something that no amount of material possessions can fill). High awareness on the other hand, enables one to experience life beyond the limited five senses and thus enables one to experience more love, joy and success beyond the narrow definition of the material success promised by The American Dream. So make a conscious decision to invest in gaining practical and useful knowledge to enhance the quality of your life.

One good book that contains treasures of wisdom that can stimulate and increase level of awareness that's practical and useful while helping you master the art of the possible is THE AMERICAN DREAM by Geela, an immigrant who came with nothing to the US and after many struggles and having to overcome countless obstacles she was able to achieve her dreams and so much more. She is an award winner singer/songwriter/composer and the founder of the innovative nonprofit organization, ONE SPIRIT, ONE WORLD dedicated to helping children and promoting a culture of peace and harmony.

Remember, it's your life and it's your dream ' why not claim it today? There is no dream so lost you can't retrieve it and there's no rut so deep you can't leave it. Perhaps there is something to the conventional wisdom that 'only fools live in a fool's paradise.' After all, paradise is not a place ' it's simply a state of mind.
