WEEKEND THOUGHTS

Do You Really Know What You Know???????

You’re going along perfectly happy with your life totally sure that everything is just fine. You have a successful job or business that is growing and life is great. Everything seems to be perfect. And then, without your even thinking about it, something new pops up that creates?some doubt. Or maybe even sounds better than what you are doing. Your comfort level isn’t quite what it was.

We have all heard that life is a journey, and it is. And it is to be enjoyed as such each day. But with any journey not every moment is expected to be perfect in every way. Each new hilltop creates a new horizon, a new adventure to be lived. We can never pull over and stop, although there are times we might like to if for no other reason than to take a break from the craziness. Knowledge is the same way. As we experience each day it adds to our book of knowledge making it thicker. But new knowledge can also challenge what we thought we already knew, or even completely destroy it. There was a time that it was believed the world was flat. Anyone arguing otherwise was considered a heretic and burned at the stake. But a careful reading of even more ancient texts will show that it was believed to be round thousands of years earlier.

What’s my point? Don’t ever get complacent with what you think you know. You might just find out that what you know is not just a glass half full. It might be that what you know just isn’t so. Like Paul Harvey, we need to hear the rest of the story.

May you be ever learning.
