Wisdom is the quality that keeps you from getting into situations where you need it.

Doug Larson

-------------------------------------

We often don't fix a situation that needs to be fixed until we have no other choice. We don't do what we should have done long ago, until our backs are up against the wall, and there is only one way to go to get out of the mess we created or let happen by our previous indecision. We call it hindsight. We can look back and see what we SHOULD have or COULD have done.

True wisdom is when we can look forward, and see what WILL happen if we do this or that. And not only see what will happen, but utilize the restraint and/or inner strength to make the right decisions. Decisions that can often be painful at the time, but decisions that must be made.

Wisdom speaks before things get out of hand to keep it from happening.
