From Being YOUNG and RECKLESS...to Being...WISER:-)

When I was younger I was so idealistic and reckless.   Idealistic for me means following what is ideal, what is supposed to be even if not really acceptable by the values of the majority.  Reckless means that I react outright to whatever was contrary to what is ideal. 

I remember having to represent a group that told me about their complaints.   After that I ended as if I was the offended party and the one labelled as the problematic one.  I realized that I could have facilitated instead so that those individuals would have done it themselves.  And so I ended up regretting what I did.  Well, I was young, aggressive and so generous with my help. 

As I aged a little, I was more “careful”.  Careful meant more of listening and discerning before I acted on something.  Obviously I learned my lesson and I learned the hardest way. 

Let me talk about wisdom.  They say that wisdom is gotten from a learned experience.  For me learning means being able to “open” one’s consciousness to something new after a painful  experiences including all the happy and joyful experiences we have.  

Let me share my moments of gaining wisdom:-)

I was wiser

....when after the death of my mother I realized I could still go on with life and that there is still meaning to life and living. 

.... to realize that staying single did not really mean that I had no choice to be happy.  

...when I risked leaving my 10 – year job as guidance counsellor in order to embrace the invitation to travel abroad.   

...when I submitted myself to the painful grilling of a Jesuit priest that processed me through a live out 19^th annotation retreat. 

... when I started putting into writing all my insights and share them to you my readers in this blog sight without minding at all whether you would agree with me or not

...when I realized that I had to let go from the comfort of my single life and take off that shield and leap into married life. 

...when I left my job and chose to take care of  until  I delivered my fragile little girl. 

...to realize that I could not please everyone.

...to realize that some individuals may be threatened by my wise, honest and matter of fact answers to the questions during job interviews

...to realize that my younger years have become my training ground to becoming who I am…

...to realize that I would rather shut up my mouth and listen rather than arguing my point and having to prove to others that I am right

...when I realize that I have to stay on the ground and embrace humility in the midst of abundance and success  never to attach myself with accomplishments and titles. 

And…I am NOW WISER… to realize I need God even more and that everything that I have right now is a gift and thus, I continue to share…and share…and share…

And …it is wise to realize that there are a lot more to learn from life …hmmm this is not to exemplify that fact that you can share with me your wisdom to life so that I may grow tooJ  …right friendships?

Thanks for being here my very wise friends:-0 God bless you all:-)
