A man begins cutting his wisdom teeth the first time he bites off more than he can chew. Herb Caen
Don't you hate it when you take too big of a bite and your mouth is full to capacity, and then some? Man I feel so silly when I do that, like I should know better. How about you?
Well in today's quote the same idea is applied to our life situations. Sometimes we take too big of a bite of life - a conflict, a job, a relationship, pretty much anything where wisdom is necessary - and we discover that we need some extra teeth to chew through what we've bit off. That's when we start bringing forth those wisdom teeth. The gums bleed and the pain is excruciating but the teeth are necessary for getting through the bite. To get through life successfully we need wisdom, without it we won't get very far. We feel silly when we realize we need more wisdom to get through something hard, we feel like we should have known better but we usually don't realize the bite was too big until it is too late. As we cut our wisdom teeth we will learn the right size bite to take. So if your mouth is a little too full with a bite you've taken recently go ahead and keep chewing and let the wisdom erupt.
