“Apple! Apple!” Ethan pointed for an apple from the counter. What he thought were apples were actually homegrown tomatoes. Ellen sighed knowing it was pointless to argue with a toddler so she handed him a tomato. She glanced back at me and smiled as my jaw hit the floor. The sheer look of disgust on Ethan's face was priceless. Lesson learned, if mom says its a tomato, it's probably a tomato.
Life lessons are learned from experiences. This is where wisdom is developed and how we choose to respond to the experience. You have probably heard the old saying, "Our wisdom comes with age but sometimes age comes alone." Our wisdom is developed by how we respond to adversities and challenges that we face. Ethan didn't ask for any more tomato- apples because his 2-year old mind just got a little wiser.
What is great about wisdom is that it can be passed down. Majority of us have someone that look up to us. All of us have people we look up to and are inspired by throughout our lives. My encouragement today is simple: share and listen.
Often, we are willing to share about a new restaurant or the new local boutique down the street. However, how often do we share the life lessons we have learned? Or maybe some of the adversities/challenges we have overcome? How often do we genuinely listen to the wisdom being given to us even when it's not what we want to hear?
"No Ethan, that is not an apple."
