Day 7 (Wisdom and Understanding)

Of course on a Saturday I would expect to get everything that I needed to done.  I don't have to work, just run a few errands so it's easy.  I think that is a good and bad thing, when I think I have all this "free time" there is no urgency to get things done.  I tell myself I can relax for another hour or something like that next thing you know I am scrambling to get done everything I wanted to.

The workout for today was Balance & Agility and out of the 5 different workout videos I have done so far this has been one of the hardest.  I have been there a lot of different workout routines in my life because of sports (soccer, basketball, baseball, track, boxing), but half these exercises I have never seen before.  It was fun, but like I said it was very tough.  Just like in life balance seems like such an easy concept but it is so hard to achieve.  We wish we could spend more time doing that or this, or less time in other areas, but it is all about balance.

I have also been thinking my latest reading of Proverbs 4.  The whole pretty much keeps telling me "get wisdom and get understanding".  It just got me thinking of how many people know what may be the right thing today but may not understand why it is the right thing to do.  Wisdom is only half the equation, but it does take you pretty far.  The wisdom might tell us how it is done, but if everything is not perfect and we don't understand why then that little imperfection can completely throw us off our path.  It is the difference between you changing the engine in your car and an educated mechanic changing it.

We all have the wisdom that we would love to have a balanced life, but when do we put in the time to gain understanding of how to properly do it.
