Perhaps you heard about the kitten who spent all his time chasing his tail.  When asked why he was chasing his tail, he said he was told happiness was in his tail.  The wise old Tom cat told him happiness was indeed in his tail, but if he would stop chasing it, it would follow him wherever he went.  That's wisdom.

What is wisdom?  Wisdom comes from knowledge; knowledge comes from experience; which is why its said that "Experience is the best teacher."  I would agree, but it doesn't have to be your experience...if you listen to wisdom (the experience of others) you won't have to get burned to find out the stove is hot.

Like most people, I used to think happiness was a big house, fancy car and a healthy bank account...until I heard someone say "they'd never seen a u-haul following a hearse"  I had those things...and that's all they are, things.  Here today, gone tomorrow.

Now, I have less, but I really have more.  Over the next twelve days, I'm going to share a brief summary of my book 12 Keys To A Happy, Healthy, Wealthy Life.  Look for them under the "Free Downloads" tab on the menu bar.

When Solomon said, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting, get understanding,"  (Proverbs 4:7) he was referring to understanding as defined in Proverbs 9:10 as "the knowledge of the holy."  Why?

Until you know, without a doubt, God is real...nothing else matters.
