Writing is such a beautiful way of expressing oneself. A kind of music that flows from the brain and fingers, much like playing the piano I shall practice here in public. I hope that inspires you to DO the thing instead of waiting until you are perfect at the thing. I've waited too long...
We had a very lively discussion at the house today.
Many of the opinions and thoughts people shared were based on long-held, taught-when-they-were-young ideologies.
This doesn't necessarily negate those ideas. However, when pushed to defend the position or explain their thought process behind those thoughts, things began to fall apart.
Here's a bit of what was said:
"That's the way I was taught."
"My parent - teacher - minister told me that."
"I learned it in school (over 2 decades ago)."
"The Bible says...". OHHH gosh this one. This will be an essay on another day, but suffice to say, it can stop any conversation cold. None of us wanted to argue against a friend talking about the Bible and DEF don't want to argue against God.
I am a life-long lover of learning and I have come to realize that it is 100% keeping my thoughts, my heart and my brain, young and vibrant.
It makes me feel more a part of the world, instead of watching it leave me.
The moral?
→ Keep wondering.
→ Keep thinking.
→ Keep asking “why do you think that way”.
→ Keep asking yourself “how can I do better?”.
→ Keep going.←
