"There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul." ~ Arnold Bennett
Mama used to say that "experience is the best teacher." It's one thing to KNOW (be aware of) something, but yet another to really know because you've gone through it! Knowledge is wonderful, but it's even greater when that knowledge is put into action. Knowledge activated is wisdom. That is, to act upon what you know. Don't shun away experiences that arise which may be uncomfortable to you or out of your norm. When you have to get out of that box and stretch beyond your comfort zone, it is then that you know you've grown! When you have to utilize your knowledge, you will benefit from that experience.
So, learn all you can (don't EVER stop learning), and put what you've learned to use. Remember, wisdom is knowledge in action.
"Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding." Proverbs 4:7 NKJV
