Today’s quote is from Jonathan Swift, who tells us: A wise man is never less alone than when he is alone.

A sign of a truly wise person is that they are very comfortable with being alone. They are able to use this time for reflection, meditation, and prayer. This is a time away from the noise and distractions of the world to enter a world of solitude. To gain true wisdom, you must become comfortable with who you are and that your life is uniquely valuable. Invest time each day in peaceful reflection and realize that God made you special, and you are valuable because you are unique. God loves you unconditionally so that you can love yourself and then others unconditionally. When you gain this realization, it is then you will have the wisdom and strength to have a significant and positive impact on the lives of others. Never underestimate your impact on others because your impact will ripple throughout eternity.
