Being the reservoir that I've established, and over the years sipped from every now and then, I felt obliged to again materialise my thought on this canvas.
I try to be profound, only to realise that at some point, a spelling error will creep in to keep me honest and humble, akin to my thoughts as noted in earlier posts.
As time goes by, my thoughts have evolved, or rather updated themselves after many cycles of belief, review, reflection and reconfiguration. This is what brought me to the thought of the topic at hand, which is with time, we get wiser, brought on by our numerous experiences and lifetime of living. We choose our priorities more effectively, we settle with bad choices and deal with them differently than the knee jerk, off the cuff living we were prone to when we were younger.
I constantly find myself having thoughts, and looking for contradictions and re-evaluating, and thinking more... The burden I bear for being an overthinker, which I must admit really isn't a burden, but it's my normal, so I'm happy with it.
With wisdom, I've realised that there is so much we can do, and are capable of doing, and have the bravery to let go of things we once could never, and to be happy for others to have their happiness as well. This I've specifically noticed with my kids. Parents sacrifice and truly learn that it's not really a sacrifice when you support and prioritise other people's goals over your own, especially those of your own family.
With wisdom, I feel that sometimes it's easier to doubt oneself because of understanding the chances of being wrong are much higher, but then again, to have confidence in your opinions are much more valuable depending on the audience.
- Wisdom is a byproduct of living.
