About wisdom and openness…

Some people get wiser as they get older and some don’t. There are children who seem to possess incredible wisdom. There are adults who possess no more wisdom than a child. Each of us has a chance to open our life, heart, and mind. When we open our life up to possibilities, profound changes can take place within us at any age.
Most of us are "works in progress" in terms of our accumulation of wisdom. When we think we know it all or when we think we know some of it, we often find we know very little. Perhaps the greatest joy in life is finding out how little we know, how much we can learn, and adopting the attitude to soak up as much wisdom and knowledge as possible as long as we live. An active mind attuned to the wisdom can contribute to others in magnificent ways at any stage of life.
