I started writing as a means of self-care through personal reflection of my ongoing journey. It has further developed into an effort to share what I’ve conquered and continue to learn with those who also desire to live richly every day. Welcome to the Wealth in Wisdom personal development blog by Dr. Edna Jones Miller.
The name “Wealth in Wisdom” means that the path to personal wholeness in every area of your life (wealth) is through acquiring and skillfully applying knowledge. You have the power and the ability to attain the knowledge to live richly every day. Like you, this is something that I continuously strive for every day...and oftentimes, I fail. The purpose of this blog is to inspire you to seek wisdom to live the joyous life that you want...and yes, it's possible! Many of us are on a quest to answer questions like:
How do I achieve personal wholeness?
What do I do to find peace and/or live a peaceful life?
Why do I feel so empty and what can I do to be fulfilled?
What information or resources can help me to have peace, be joyful, and live happily?
What do I need to do to strategically focus on my personal development?
For me, wealth is not solely about financial status. Rather, it is personal wholeness and total well-being in every area of your life. To get to wealth, you must go through wisdom by becoming a lifelong learner and skillfully applying what you know or have learned in the specific area that you've learned about. Personally, I don't only want to be a person OF wisdom; I want to be rooted IN wisdom.
Throughout this blog, I’ll regularly use many terms that have unconventional meanings. Here are my personal definitions to a few of them so that you'll better understand when these terms are used:
Personal Wholeness: Peace and/or personal fulfillment in every area of your life (yes...this is possible!)
Wealth: Wholeness in every area of your life (i.e. mental, physical, financial, relational, etc.)
Well-being: The state or measure of your personal condition
Wisdom: consistent acquisition, a deep understanding, and skillful application of knowledge
Deposits (Wisdom Reads): Deposits, called "Wisdom Reads" are quick reads filled with words of wisdom that will inspire you to pursue personal wholeness and total well-being. My goal is to offer “deposits” of wisdom toward your journey to wealth that will inspire you to live richly every day in every area of your life.
Based on my definition of wealth, I believe that wisdom is the pathway to attain personal wholeness and total well-being. Like my mom used to say, "When you know better, you do better."
Just so that you're aware, I'm not a licensed counselor, therapist, psychologist, or mental health professional, but I'm a certified professional life coach who can support your personal development. More importantly, I am also a Christian who earnestly believes the Word of God, so my perspective is grounded in and will be communicated through the lens of Biblical principles.
