The wise life is the dependent life.
Sign #1: no longer needing to be right all the time.
Sign #2: begin letting go of what you want to keep the most.
Prayer teaches trust in God. Generosity expresses trust in God. - Henri Nouwen
Sign #3: let your loving Father put you on the right path.
The son flares up and says, "I can't stand this constant training. For me, freedom means to be able to do what I want to do."
And the father quietly replies, "And for me freedom means that you should become what you ought to be.
You should not, for example, become a servant of your desires, a slave to your ambition, to your need for recognition, your love of Mammon, your blasé intellectual boredom…
That's why I forbid you so many things. Not to limit your freedom but just the opposite, in order that you may remain free of all this… Don't you understand that it is love that is behind my bidding and forbidding?" - Helmut Thielicke, The Waiting Father

It’s not physical beauty or temporal glory or the brightness of light dear to earthy eyes, or the sweet melodies of all kinds of songs, or the gentle odor of flowers and ointments and perfumes, or manna or honey, or limbs welcoming the embraces of the flesh; it is not these I love when I love my God. Yet there is a light I love, and a food, and a kind of embrace when I love my God - a light, voice, odor, food, embrace of my innerness, where my soul is floodlit by light which space cannot contain, where there is sound that time cannot seize, where there is perfume which no breeze disperses, where there is a taste for food no amount of eating can lessen, where there is a bond of union that no satiety can part. That is what I love when I love my God. - St. Augustine, Confessions
