Definition of WISDOM
Hello LWA Seekers of Greater Well-BEing!
Wouldn’t we all like to be wiser? Consider this definition of WISDOM: Realizing how much we DON’T know! Who likes being around someone who thinks they know it all and are better than others. None of us! The more Dr. Waxman and I pursue BEing the best version we were created to BE, the more we realize how much we don’t know. We were NOT exposed to these concepts in all our prior educational pursuits in college, medical school, and residency. It’s like there’s all this “hidden” information on well-being out there that’s NOT being taught in schools, colleges, at healthcare institutions, or even in the religious world. I’m not just talking about information on the best foods to eat, the most beneficial fitness program, keys to successful weight loss, strategies to slow aging, the best meditation apps, the risks versus benefits of supplements, hormone therapy, etc., and all the “wellness” devices out there. Yes, living WELL aware covers all that. But more importantly, LWA is about understanding that we live in two worlds:
The world “out there” with all its people, places, and possessions and the situations and circumstances we encounter.
The world “inside us” that is interpreting and imparting meaning to all those people, places, possessions, and events.
WISDOM is when we are not continually REACTING to people, things, and outcomes, but instead CREATING a world of well-being. FACT: People will do what they do, things come and go, and life events happen. What IS under our control? Our decisions about people, things, and events. When we are constantly arguing with reality, reacting negatively to so many things “out there”, we can find ourselves stressed out, worried, even depressed and anxious to the point of requiring medications and other treatments. We are NOT in control, not utilizing the Divine mechanisms within us all for a life of peace, joy, and abundance.
FYI: By abundance, I’m not talking about monetary wealth. RICH does not equal ABUNDANT. We all know many rich and successful people who are not happy. FITNESS does not necessarily mean WELL. There are exercise experts that are not in a state of peace and joy. RELIGIOUS does not always mean SPIRITUAL. Know anyone who goes to church regularly who complains a lot when things are not going their way? They are NOT in a state of “Rejoicing Always, Praying (feeling the presence of the Divine) Without Ceasing, in all circumstances Giving Thanks.” It’s not enough to “know.” We must know HOW. Then we must DO. Information without Implementation is Insanity: NO Transformation. Simply attending Living WELL Aware presentations, seminars, and webinars does NOT do anything! Taking the Information and Inspiration and Implementing it into your life leads to Installation which results in TRANSFORMATION. As I often hear from people who APPLY the knowledge: “I’m not that person anymore.”
To get to the next level of Peace, Joy, and Abundance, we have to BEcome someone else. We better understand our Inner World of our programmed Beliefs, Thoughts, Feelings, and Actions. We use the amazing mechanisms, the programs, that are within us all, available to us all, changing our beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and actions. Instead of constantly reacting to all life events (victim status), we focus on CREATING a better world for ourselves and others (victory status).
We do create the world we live in but what kind of world are we creating? If it’s not a world of greater Peace, Joy, and Abundance, let’s have the WISDOM to know it is within our POWER. We are more powerful that we know because we are more powerful than we “think.” To quote Apple Computer: THINK DIFFERENT! To quote Thessalonians: Question Everything. Retain What is Good!
Create a better 2025 for you and everyone you encounter. Your thoughts direct your feelings and actions which affect everyone. Don’t argue with Einstein! E = mc2. Matter IS Energy! We are all energy BEings. What kind of energy are you transmitting? Worry, anxiety, inadequacy, failure, lack, self-righteousness? Or, peace, joy, understanding, love, abundance? Change Your Mind / Change Your Energy / Change Your Life. That’s Living WELL Aware! This will be a FOCUS of LWA 2025-2026 beginning August 2025. We will cover the latest books and published studies on elevating our health and happiness - - and have FUN while learning and applying!
THANKS to Parker County Health District, Education Service Center 12 in Waco, Education Service 20 in San Antonio, Temple College, and others scheduling LWA presentations and programs. Let’s create a better world by living WELL Aware!
ONWARD, creating a better world TOGETHER!
