How to Create the Path to Wisdom using Value, Confidence, and Discernment

You see value if you have confidence in something.  For example, if you are confident that organic food is better for you than junk food, then you see organic food as much more valuable, regardless of the price.  When people question or try to mock you for it, you have no problem standing your ground and explaining exactly the value of eating organic. 

Confidence is a great attribute.  It can take you much farther than uncertainty.  When you have trouble defending your position or making a choice, look into what you really value about that issue.

Along those same lines, there is a strong connection between wisdom and discernment.  Wisdom sounds more like something you attain someday after you are all wrinkled and walking around wearing a wizard's hat.  Wisdom is actually more like a concept, while discernment is the action of applying wise choices.

You don't have to be a Zen master to be wise.  All it takes is seeing value and making a confident discernment between choices.
