“Wisdom,” according to Patience Johnson is, “knowing the right thing to do and doing it at the right time to get the desired result.”
Which was counterintuitive to the way modern people acquire knowledge.
With the dawn of communication technology, humans can now have any information they want with a touch of a fingertip. There was now more information than eyeballs in the world.
As a result, instead of immersing themselves in particular knowledge, understanding it, and transforming it into wisdom, humans merely skim the surface of the ocean of information around them. When a situation calls upon us to use that knowledge, we forget…
Zoe Wisdom Journal was created to prevent such things from happening.
In a world that was keen to encourage you to consume more information at an impossible rate, Zoe Wisdom was created to acquire the most crucial information and transform it into wisdom.
The Crucial Information
What then is the most crucial information?
The answer is principles, paradigms, and practice.
Inside the Zoe Wisdom Journal, you will find these 3 words repeated. This was because principles, paradigms, and practices are the core building blocks of any knowledge.
Principles
Principles are the operant laws of the universe. Ignore them and we will hurt ourselves or miss achieving our goals. Even if by luck we manage to attain success without obeying these ‘natural laws’ success will be temporary. For millennia, wise men from Plato to Stephen R. Covey had tried to capture these principles into statements, but these statements are usually mere approximations of the principle, not the whole principle itself. An example of a famous self help principle is: All things are created twice, taken from the book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey.
Paradigm
Paradigm is a way of seeing the world that expresses a person’s core values and beliefs. Because all values and beliefs are subjective and may not be based on the right principle, you should never consider them as truths. Unlike principles, which are constant and true for everyone, paradigms are subjective, what may be true for one is not true for others. An example of a famous paradigm often mistaken as principle is the idea “whatever consumes your thought is what you will eventually get in life.” Yes to some degree, having a positive thought is a good thing, but without a positive action to follow it up; that thought will just become a thought.
Practice
Practice is the attempt to translate information into practical actionable steps to improve our lives. It is usually the part in the self help book where the author encourages you to take out a pen and paper; and start writing down things. Practicing things are the only way to make real changes in life, but ensure that whatever practices you are doing, they are based on the right principle. For example, the exercise to visualize and writing down our eulogy is a great practice to clarify our values and purpose in life.
