“The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.” ~William James
I love this quote…the really wise people I know are usually in a state of serenity (they accept the things they cannot change) plus they not only know what to overlook and accept but they continuously seek wisdom from the ultimate Source (see the scripture verses below).
P.E.A.C.E
Psalm 111:10, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!”
James 1:5, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”
Proverbs 1:7, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
Joshua 1:9, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
