Welcome to day 17 of our 30 day gratitude journey. Today is a tricky one for me. What knowledge am I grateful for? Being a lifelong learner, it can be hard to pick just one. Lucky for us the question is not worded that way. When it comes to knowledge, we all are proficient in some area. What is your area? Is that the knowledge you are most grateful for?
One of the bits of knowledge that I think is vital in this day and age is the ability to read. With this information, you can learn anything else you desire. The internet, combined with YouTube can teach us almost anything we desire to know. All that is required is the ability to read and a little bit of time. I value the knowledge of interpersonal relations. Despite the world becoming more and more ‘virtual’, the ability to develop repour with other humans is a priceless skill. Whether that connection happens online or virtual, the skills are very similar.
Here is yet another way in which to look at this situation. You do not have to possess the knowledge for which you are grateful. I am very grateful for all of the medical knowledge that has come out and continues to develop. Can you picture going to a dentist who only had knowledge from 100 years ago? It is frightening enough to picture going to the dentist as it is. How about fixing computers? Mine is painfully slow right now. I do wish I knew more in this field, but I am grateful for those who do. Same with mechanics. Looking at the amazing cakes my lady creates. That is knowledge that I will never possess.
To me, the more knowledge you have the more valuable you can be. Not only to the world at large, but to yourself as well. Think of all you can learn and all you can become? I think we could all agree that obtaining this knowledge is easier today than at anytime in history!
