To me, there’s nothing worse than a person that knows it all.
Yet, I aspire to be the person who knows a little bit about everything.
I will always be the first to admit that I hardly know anything. I THINK I know a few things, but in reality, I doubt most of what I say. I aspire to have more confidence in everything that I say. Especially those things that I talk about with so much passion.
I think my biggest pet peeve is always the person who acts as they know just about everything. Especially when they’re in a position that they just sound flat out stupid.
I’m not a fan of speaking out of my ass. I can’t accept that and if it’s something that I can control, I would choose to minimize it as much as possible.
What I will admit is that with those people I have an urge to always shut them up and/or make them understand how stupid they sound.
I don’t want to have time for these kinds of people. I think there’s so much information out there, so many opinions, and different perspectives that it’s not right to be speaking out of the ass thinking you know everything.
I think that it’s what ultimately costs so much conflict within the world.
Just imagine a world in which you took everything with a grain of salt and took the time to listen to other’s perspectives and leaving your ego (along with your pride of always knowing what you’re talking about) at the door.
I believe we have a lot to learn from just about everybody that crosses our paths and everyone comes into our lives with their perspectives in life. Yes, even those same people that were raised in the same household as you.
I think those people that live within the same household should be the ones you ESPECIALLY listen to. Their perspective should be the perspective you want to understand.
I have a lot of work to do myself to get to understanding what the situations are, and I think I’m making progress by recognizing my opportunity, but I think that the closer you get to figuring out your real flaws and fixing them, the tougher it gets. The universe begins to send more and more obstacles the closer you get to what you want.
How you react to that is the way things will be.
