Where Does Wisdom Come From?

“But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.”

James‬ ‭3:17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Being willing to yield to others doesn’t mean you’re accepting another is right and you’re wrong, just means you stop long enough to CONSIDER THAT someone might have more information than you and use that new info when you reevaluate.

I think that’s where wisdom comes from… Being open to the idea that there’s more information out there you need to make up your mind.

Anyone who says “well you know how I am, once I’ve made up my mind…” is not good. Always be open to learn, always be open to being wrong, and always be open to listening to others’ perspectives.
