“I know it all.”
The other day, a friend of mine asked, “What do you do in situations when you believe you know it all?”
At first, I laughed.
I was once that individual and maybe still am to a degree.
Then, I replied, “I ask myself, ‘What am I here to learn? What is this here to help me see?’”
I apply it to all situations.
I believe life is a giant classroom where every scenario provides an opportunity to learn.
Boring conversations.
Arguments with significant others.
Watching the 🐌 cross a busy road.
My dog getting loose in the middle of the street.
All of these are scenarios for life to be viewed through a different lens.
There were times when I wasn’t interested in learning from the everyday life.
I thought that I knew it all.
Then, I was reminded, “Whenever you think you know everything, you know nothing.”
This statement has helped me transform a lot of my “know it all” scenarios.
It allowed me to tap into my greatest gift, the ability to be curious.
It changed how I view and engage with the life around me.
Next time when you think you know it all, ask yourself, “What am I here to learn? What is this here to teach me?”
Never stop learning because life never stops teaching.
