I Am a Wise Woman: A Morning Mediation Series by BwfwomanSample

The successful, wise woman knows that she must keep learning, growing, and improving upon her current knowledge in order to reach new levels, and a part of that growth will happen when she decides to walk alongside other wise women.

I believe that everyone should have three groups of influence: one group of people they are pouring their knowledge into, one group of people they fellowship with on their level, and one group of people they can go to and learn from. On each level, you're giving and you're receiving – a little more or less depending on the group – and you are building an ecosystem of support and community to the point where your life and the lives of others are enhanced from the relationships. There is wisdom in cultivating these types of relationships – the Word confirms that “there is wisdom in a multitude of counselors.” (Proverbs 11:14)

The three types of groups every wise woman should actively develop in her life are:

Group One - Your Mentees: Develop a group of people to whom you can consistently give back. Did you know that the act of giving releases endorphins in your brain, reinforcing your happiness? You can lift your entire mood by giving something to someone else. Shifting your mental focus from you to others is healthy and good for you.

Group Two – Your Peers: Your choice of friends says a lot about you. Many times, you can grow so much that it’s possible to outgrow your old friends, placing you in a position to either redefine or release that relationship. You know you have the right group of friends when you exchange consistent trust and share mutual feedback.

Group Three - Your Mentor: Having a mentor is extremely important, and cultivating a relationship with a spiritually older woman who is wiser than you is essential to your growth. This woman may be younger than you in age, but spiritually, is your elder - and that's ok! You need someone who can help you along the way, who you can call when you need confirmation or guidance.

Having these three groups in your life will cause your “multitude of counselors” to be well-rounded and maintain your position of learning and growing.
