Ego vs. Wisdom

Posted on 2012.04.09 by cjromb

I’ve reached that place in my life where my level of wisdom has bypassed the size of my ego. This allows me to see that I have something extraordinary to teach the world, while simultaneously realizing I have an extraordinary amount left to learn from it.

    CJ as always, you nailed it. The very first poem of yours I ever read inspired me to “be worth it to me”, thank you as always for your insight, your wisdom and your genuineness. I am worth it and so are you.

      Thank you so very much, Cindy. You’re right. We are infinitely worth it. 🙂

    A glow in the dark thought. A goal to be achieved. I’m not quite there yet.
    I agree that there is so much to learn, but I am not sure I am ready to teach.

      Ah, but Rick, I think we each have something to teach all along the way! I learn things from friend half my age all the time!! I learn things from friends who aren’t where I’m at yet in life, and from friends who are where I want to be. I think our stories, wherever we’re at, and our willingness to share them for what they’re worth, are the most valuable thing we have to contribute most of the time.

      I think you DO have things to teach. You’ve taught all of us in 5F how good the LIKE button feels. You’ve taught me about engagement, showing up. You’ve been a great demonstration of what a friend is in a lot of ways, even by reading and commenting here.

      You have more to offer than you know.
