I’ve never met a kind, thoughtful person who didn’t possess a strong sense of humility.

I’ve always found the more I learn, the more I’m in awe of how little I actually know. It’s a humbling experience to come to the recognition that no matter how much I learn, I will never run out of knowledge to acquire.

The world is a vast ocean of knowledge buried in a sea of noise and interference. Life is like a treasure hunt that I can never truly master. I poke around, following my curiousity, even going down some rabbit holes to see where they take me.

Were I to consider any topic mastered, it would only be my own arrogance rising up, not mastery.

I’ve met people who cross the often rather fine line between having confidence in their level of knowledge and the arrogance of knowing it all. The former will display humility in the certain understanding there is always more to learn, no matter the topic.

The latter, the arrogant, the ‘know it all’ and the know very little. The more they cling to ‘knowing it all’ the smaller their island becomes as the ocean of knowledge grows ever larger.

I feel as though I live on an island in this vast sea of knowledge around me. It’s an island receiving regular shipments of reading material and people to share with. It’s sometimes a busy little place andd other times it’s quiet for me to process and consider what I have explored and how it fits into my world and the beyond.

The abundance can be overwhelming but it forms a life energy powering all coming in touch with it. I run to the shore and scoop up bucket after bucket of knowledge.

I examine each bucket to learn what I am willing to learn, knowing that there will always be new buckets for me to delight in.

What’s in your buckets today?
