In the meantime, become aware of your wisdom!
“I don’t know anyone who questions the value of analytical thinking when it comes to being a success in whatever you do. But there is another type of intelligence, other than the use of your analytical mind, that is every bit as important – wisdom. Wisdom not only provides you with creative, appropriate ideas, perspective, common sense, and an excellent sense of direction, it also makes your life easier and less stressful. This is true because, unlike the use of your analytical mind which can be effortful and clouded by doubt, wisdom is derived from a sense of confidence, a sense of knowing which direction or course of action you should take, as well as a sense of inner confidence when making decisions, creating ideas, or solving a problem.” (Richard Carlson, American author and motivational speaker)

“Intelligence alone is not nearly enough when it comes to acting wisely.” (Fyodor Dostoyevsky)
