I'm not as smart as I think

I think I know more than I do. That is why, from time to time, I am wrong. I don't mind admitting that I was wrong. It happens.

I’m routinely reminded [graciously] by people smarter than me that I’m not as smart as I thought.
And it’s not that they’re saying things, it’s not that they’re just coming out and telling me that I’m not very smart, it just happens by interacting with them. I realize that I don’t know as much as I think.

I think it is good for us to be aware of our shortcomings. I think a little humble pie is good for everyone. When we realize that we don't know everything, good things can happen.

-our minds can be open to the thoughts of others.
-we journey thru life as seekers instead of knowers.
-we can gain from the experience and knowledge of others.

I hope that you can admit when you are wrong.  I hope that you are a seeker of knowledge.  Life is better from this posture.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
