Wisdom requires knowing how little we know. —Marvin Bell, poet

This was a hard lesson for me in my youth cuz I knew it all, just ask my mom. In fact I found not knowing everything pretty incomprehensible. Thankfully, life teaches you, and the more you seem to learn the vastness of what you don't know becomes so apparent. Then next step I found so difficult was that what was relevant and helpful in my life was not relevant or helpful in others lives. Accepting that each road each of us finds to realize our purpose, and how that manifests for each of us is unique and cannot be judged from the outside.

Lessons I still work on today.

Please share your comments.

Love you all,

Jacky

"I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition." Martha Washington


Making the decision to live in a grateful and contented state, becoming responsible for my own disposition has provided me with much more sound and predictable day to day experience. I hope to become more and more in control of my disposition and possibly that may come to alter my circumstances.

What do you think?

Love you all.
