"Listen to my (wisdom's) instruction and be wise; do not ignore it. Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord. But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death." -- Proverbs 8:33-36

It's a long road to find wisdom.  It comes with time, patience, and humility.  When a tree grows, it sends its roots deep into the soil.  Without good root development, the tree will be stunted.  The problem is, you can't uproot the tree to see how its roots are developing.  You must preserve its stillness and protect its place.  Only after many years will the roots have grown to the point that the tree explodes with growth.  Patience is the path to wisdom.  It beats the hurry and the rush every time.  Take your time as you seek the answers.  And when you think you have them, consider some more.
