“If you desire wisdom greater than your own, you can find it inside you.”  This is a great quote by M. Scott Peck, MD that reminds us to turn inward instead of being quick to turn to outside influences to see us through.

Too oft, folks figure that since a solution or wisdom doesn’t just drop in their laps, that they must be incapable of figuring out a situation on their own.  Though there are times when this is the case, if a person is patient and willing to still their rapid-firing mind that has them searching for answers elsewhere, they’ll find the wisdom they seek.  It costs them nothing and will likely be a better-suited solution than if offered by outsiders.  Why?  Simple. 

No one knows us better than ourselves.  As such, we are better equipped to solve our problems than others.  Not always…but more often than some would tend to think.  Media, society, etc, saturates us with quick-fix options rather than encouraging the quieting of one’s mind in order that they themselves might find what they’re seeking.

The next time you find yourself searching for answers, remember, “If you desire wisdom greater than your own, you can find it inside you.”
