Practical Wisdom Principles
Used to be that sense was common, now you can’t find it anywhere hardly. So I decided to whip up a little bit and post it here for you.
Enjoy.
You won’t find good sense everywhere…
Practical Wisdom Principles 1-10
Practical Wisdom Principles 2 Never argue. People with good understanding dont waste time arguing with people who have no understanding.
Practical Wisdom Principles 3 When you know what you are and who you are —you dont try and convince people —who dont know who you are or what you are. Eagles dont debate the art of flying with chickens. Eagles just fly.
Practical Wisdom Principles 4 Debating that women are not called to the ministry is like saying the earth is flat…to an astronaut.
Practical Wisdom Principles 5 Becoming a higher life form is a choice to change. If you have the genes of a butterfly you dont have to stay a caterpillar but you do have to chose to undergo the development process. Changing is not optional.
Furthermore…
Practical Wisdom Principles 6 When you dont know where you are going any road will get you there. So choose paths wisely. Sidebar, sometimes you will come to a stop sign. There will be nothing you can do except pause and wait for God to change the light. Just wait, change will come.
Practical Wisdom Principles 7 Anger is a symptomatic EMOTION. It is a red flag saying you are feeling something else. It is the difference between the child who takes the checkers and throws the game on the floor and the child who SAYS, (articulates his feelings) “Hey, you are cheating and thats not FAIR.” Fairness is the higher emotion which demands acknowledgment.
Practical Wisdom Principles 8 You cannot fake what you really are. For your seed will always reveal your true identity. Spray painting a ball red does not make it an apple.
Practical Wisdom Principles 9 If you depend on someone or something else to bring you joy, the joy that comes will never truly be yours.
In Addition…
Practical Wisdom Principles 10 If the bulk of your mental energy is invested in trying to figure out who are your friends, who are your enemies, who is stabbing you in the back, etc— you have way too much time on your hands, think way too much of your self and are probably not doing much of anything worth dying (or being stabbed) for.

Proverbs 4:7-10 7 Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do! And with your wisdom, develop common sense and good judgment. 8 If you exalt wisdom, she will exalt you. Hold her fast, and she will lead you to great honor; she will place a beautiful crown upon your head. 10 My son, listen to me and do as I say, and you will have a long, good life. TLB
What is Wisdom?
Wisdom is the mental qualities that have to do with the ability to
Understand Situations
A situation is a state or condition at a particular time, determined by a combination of circumstances that have special bearing on the person or thing in question.
Anticipate Consequences
Consequences are events that are caused, determined or set into action by someone or something.
Make Sound Decisions
To make a Decision is to exercise the ability to take a stand, act out an intention, or complete a purpose attempted with unyielding certainty. It is being able to stick to a conviction or hold fast to something you believe in.
