My Voice

You do not have to be old to be wise and you aren't necessarily wise if you're old. You see, wisdom does not come with age - it comes with an open mind. As long as you live your life believing you've got things figured out, you will never be wise. It is not until you open your mind and listen to everything as though you know nothing at all that you begin to acquire wisdom. It doesn't even take a lifetime to become as wise as the Dalai Lama himself. Once you open your mind, the wisdom begins to soak in like rain to parched Earth. Sometimes, it can be a little overwhelming. The rain will come too fast and there will be a flood of knowledge, some of which you just can not soak up. Just be patient and keep your mind open and slowly you will continue to draw in more and more. This is not as hard as it sounds. You don't have to be a guru meditating on a mountain peak - anyone can do it from any place in the world. All you have to do is open your mind and allow the wisdom to come flowing in.
