"you'll never learn"

     Ray Bradbury was a genius. He said so many wonderful things. Sometimes I'll spend hours reading his quotes - and maybe I won't agree with every single thing he says, but still, he is so profound. One of his quotes hits me hard every time I read it. It's like he knew my worst flaw and shot this quote at me like a dart.

“If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.” 

- Ray Bradbury   

 

     I know I've shared this before, but I always feel like I need to be perfect and make sure everyone knows that I really am smart. I really am mature. I really am blah blah blah. I want to learn to not be afraid to show my ignorance. It may hurt to be hit when I do it, but I will learn. 

      And I'll change. Because, as Downton Abbey's dear Mr. Carson once said, "What would be the point of living if we didn't let life change us?"

     So, this week I'm challenging you (just as I'm challenging myself) to admit you're wrong sometimes. To show your ignorance sometimes. To live in the freedom of humility. I, for one, have seven classes to attend this week, so I know I'll get plenty of chances. ;)

wednesday verse

Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

Colossians 3:12-14
