I had to learn through experience
What Wisdom means
I had to learn not to allow anybody to disrespect me No matter how much I loved them And wanted to understand them for doing what they did to me I had to learn not to let them get away with enjoying their life while I was working hard night and day I had to learn to set boundaries with those who didn’t care about me And didn’t know how they should treat me with respect and love and understanding I had to learn not to lean on anybody for my happiness, joy and satisfaction and peace But only to depend on myself for all of those Only to give myself my due credit, respect love and care I had to learn that it was not necessary to focus on what the world was focused upon I had to learn that embracing what is important for a healthy living was what I needed and not money or status or respect from others due to those in me I had to learn and understand that without either money or status or job or career no one will turn back to look at me but that shouldn’t make me lose what I have with me peace and tranquility and time to do whatever it is that is important for me and this world I had to understand that just because I give love freely doesn’t mean it will be well received or appreciated but that should not change me from giving away love for free anyway I had to learn that my time my freedom my health was more important than my bank statement when I have a husband who takes care of that I had to learn that just because the world is made up of children doesn’t mean I have to mother them all at once but I can choose to give myself priority and let them learn from their own anomalies I had to learn that I could and should focus on only those things that were important for me and this world around me And nothing else really mattered for either me or this world around me I had to learn that God had plans for me and that included a resting phase and I had to be quiet and take rest when it was given to me because soon it will be taken away and I will be expected to work hard I had to learn to control myself for the sake of keeping my self respect among those who didn’t know how to respect me I am learning and God is with me while I am learning and he brings me peace when it gets really hard for me and when I reach out and ask for help from him he brings me help with warm words and kind hearts and deep love among other things But I am learning and that is the reason for all that life brings me! Turbulence is necessary in order to look for and learn to be satisfied And live with peace. So peace ✌🏽 to you as well!
