It takes Understanding

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting get understanding. - Proverbs 4:7

Understanding is one word but very complex. Whether complex or not, it is a prerequisite in every aspect of life.

For when we understand ourselves and the things we do, life will be much easier. Don’t you agree? Understanding whether complex or not, is achievable.

Understanding is seeing exactly what is intended and acting accordingly. Understanding is in levels and isn’t cheap thus achieving it is a process.

Understanding mostly is a function of your standing- how exposed one are, educational level, background, belief(s) amongst other things.

Understanding is achieved in many ways but I think the basic medium by which its achieved is via studying, personal experience, others experience, exposure, mentorship, divine revelation etc.

It takes understanding to know that it is the Grace of God that sustains us and not our fat salaries, neither allowances nor bonuses. It takes understanding to serve God totally with all sincerity.

It takes understanding for a girl to know that she doesn’t need any man to exploit her for little favors when she can be catered for by her father.

It takes understanding for some men to know that they don’t need other women when they already have a wife. And also that with a little investment, their wives can be turned into the dream woman they so desire.

It takes understanding to know that doing the right thing wouldn’t take anything from you rather; it will make you a better person.

It takes understanding to know that we all don’t get the same chances/opportunities at life and as such, must take advantage of the ones we get.

It takes understanding to know that you can never reap where you have not sown.
It takes understanding to know that your case is not peculiar to you; there is someone out there who has it worst off than you. So we must be thankful for whatever we get.

Of course no body can understand everything but every body can understand bits and pieces about many things. The importance of understanding cannot be over emphasized so get wisdom and with all thy getting; get understanding.
