Starting a new idea venture, sharing what I am learning in personal development and the following is my first post and first of hopefully many videos, I plan to upload and share my experience!
One thing I find in common from almost every autobiography, business books, and great leaders is some form of the phrase "I wish I knew now at an earlier age".
Wisdom is something I think everyone wants, but the means to gain wisdom is not always easy. For my own generation, there is a massive disconnect between parents and their children. We will often discount the wisdom from our father or mother and consider it not relevant or "old fashioned" where in reality, they are sharing with us mistakes they made and how to avoid them for ourselves.
I am very rebellious, rebellious from my own generation. I cannot stand being just like everyone else, I want to be different, and one major way I've found to be different is doing my best to take advantage of the wisdom shared by older, wiser individuals and do my utmost to understand and apply them to my life.
I want to take the fifth commandment, "honor thy father and thy mother," and take it to a further level than it is commonly seen. There are amazing rewards for showing honor and following their commands, as well as recommendations!
Not everything I've learned is useful or connects, but it's worth trying out, for the things I have found helpful have been huge life changers!
I rest in the knowledge that I will never be in the know. I will always be a student; the second I think I have "arrived" is the second I slow my capacity for gaining new thoughts and insights.
