For those who are – the 'what?' is always the good question. And to that I would respond: Be teachable through all your years and all of your experiences. Life is full of new situations (good & bad). How well we navigate through those all depends on what we've learned (when we're teachable). So yes, an open mind is the key. Don't be arrogant and as best you can, try to see the bigger picture in all things unfolding aka both sides of issues, what's fair and what's not, etc. Because, when we do – we will learn and that knowledge adds to our wisdom. And hopefully, in our wisdom, we can share lessons learned, insights, advice, etc. to those we love and care for. |
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
-Proverbs 1:7
