Cultivating Wisdom: Strategies and Practices
We all know, or at least have heard, that wisdom is key to a happy and successful life. But how do you actually cultivate wisdom? This blog post will take you through different strategies and practices for learning more about newly generated information, developing more compassionate emotions, and being present with your thoughts. Let's see if we can create a bit of wisdom in our lives!
This is a blog post where I list the 37 best websites on the internet to learn something new. The topics range from cooking to computer programming languages, and it would be unfair not to include them here because of their quality.

How do you even begin to build your own competence and expertise? In this article, Derek Sivers, creator of CD Baby, talks about the best ways to learn a new skill on the internet. He recommends finding free resources or those that you can pay for with minimum time commitment. A great tip for learning something new is to share what you learn online, as you will be committing yourself to sharing the results of your journey with others. Check out his article to find out more!
One website Derek Sivers has recommended is Code Academy. Code Academy is an interactive way to learn how to write code for different computer languages. The site allows you to write some code, and then quiz you with a series of questions to ensure that you really know what you're doing. If you make a mistake, there is a button to easily undo the last lesson.
One way we can increase our luck is by learning from others who have been generous enough to share their stories, knowledge and wisdom. In this blog post, I take a look at the website, Wisdom of Crowds . One of the main concepts that this website talks about is how people learn from other people - their experience in life and their interactions with others. It recommends that we should learn through observation: pay attention to what other people do.
The next practice we will look at is practicing acts of kindness. What does being kind have to do with cultivating wisdom? In my opinion, a lot. When we practice being kind to others, it creates an environment of positive emotions which can lead to increased happiness and reduced stress for ourselves. I find that the best way to be kind is by practicing random acts of kindness. These are small things you can do that benefit someone else in an unexpected way.
Here is a website which talks about how you can be more kind to others on a daily basis: http://www.randomactsofkindness.org/ . You may be thinking that an act of kindness is a pretty small gesture. But if you think about how you can be kind in any situation, you can certainly add some good things to your life.
Even if we do not personally know anyone looking for advice, we are able to teach others through our actions and this is called mentoring . It takes courage to go out there and talk about life's wisdom with other people but it makes a big difference when it comes to creating wisdom in our own lives. One great way to mentor someone else is by sharing what I think are some of the best blogs on the internet. The following blogs are excellent because they will help us to understand the world and learn how to live our lives as effectively as possible:

The following blog post is about a book I've read called Mindfulness in Plain English (MPE). This is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to learn more about the benefits of meditation and how we can improve our emotional intelligence . Mindfulness is a simple practice that can help us to overcome difficulties and problems in our lives.
One of the best ways we can change or create new habits is to think about what we would like to replace them with. For example, if you want to have more self-control, you need to formulate a plan for yourself and then stick with it. This will lead you to doing what you know will make you happy rather than what makes you feel uncomfortable. But how do we know if the habit that we are creating is actually going to make us happier?
The following site has some great questions about habits . The article answers these questions by talking about how habits are formed in our brains. The site explains how we can use this information to change our own behavior and create the habits that will make us happier in life.
One of the best ways we can learn more from others is by doing something that already exists. One of the main principles of business is to copy what has worked for others, and make it work for us too. This is why I suggest looking at the following website which talks about the best websites on the internet to learn something new.
A great way to learn more about what you enjoy doing in life is to analyze your dreams. These dreams recall what we are passionate about in life. If you cannot remember your dreams, here is a website that helps you to do this.
One of the main ways we learn about what to do in life is by seeing examples of other people who have succeeded. This article talks about the best books on the internet to help us understand what makes other people successful in their lives. For example, one book mentioned is called The Alchemist , which is an inspiring novel about following our dreams and goals in life.
Another great resource for learning about success or things that have worked for others is this site: http://www.influencersonline.com/ . This site is a great tool for anyone who wants to learn more about how to learn something new.
To make the best out of life, we need to be able to give and receive positive energy in our lives. Here is a website which will teach you how to give that kind of energy: http://www.sosuave.info/sensitivity . If you want to enjoy life more, learning about being sensitive will be very helpful for you.
Using your intuition can help you make better decisions and create more happiness in your own life: http://www.theartofchangemakingmindset.
