We are here to choose. Every hour, every minute. Our bodies and minds are a vessel in which decisions are formed so action can be taken. What happens after each choice is then observed, and becomes the source of our personal wisdom.
A baby chooses to crawl from a high step. And falls. The outcome -- a first awareness of gravity -- will influence other choices. And will expand to a deeper knowledge: that support can prevent so many kinds of falling.
Every outcome observed creates wisdom -- whether the choice is made freely or unconsciously, coerced by pain and pleasure. But free choice is only possible with full awareness: completely facing and knowing an experience; the willingness to see and feel all there is. Free choice is the source of wise action -- what we came here to learn.
