There are so much more

Socrates said "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing". 

Confucius said "The wisdom is knowing what you don't know". 

In The Lion King, "As you go through life you'll see, that there is so much we don't understand". 

Then how about you?! Do you think you know things?! In this generations, where information is overflowing and acquirable everywhere and anytime, it's easy to think that you know things. We rely on information that are online. There are too much information. On your smartphones, tablets, and laptops.... once you open them, you can access google or any search engine and look up things in a matter of second. The question is which one to believe or trust?! Or if any of them really true?! You see, because there are too much information, we have to choose. At the same time, we are vulnerable to also any exposures that we're not meant to have access. Anything about apocalyptic things to marshal law, UFO and aliens, governmental conspiracy to the latest gossip... we think we know all those things. But those are the information that introduced to you. whether believe it or not, that's all up to you. So very often, teenagers act like they know everything. they think they know better than their parents. But do they really know everything?! NO. 

Look at the chart. "Things we KNOW", "We DON'T KNOW", "We THINK WE KNOW", "We DON'T KNOW YOU DON'T KNOW".  As we can see, we pretty much don't know anything, don't we?! 

Recently, a teacher of mine assigned me to read this article. I was blown away by the concept and the information that I didn't know. Then as I continue with my study, it made me realize that the more I know, the more I realize that I don't know. And that excited me. It was the new feeling that I haven't had in a long time. I was excited to see the possibility for growth and expansion. We cannot stop learning no matter what. The moment we think we know better than anybody or anything for that matter, we stop growing, which we shouldn't. We are meant to grow. Life IS a journey God has given us. It started with HIM, and it will end with HIM. We have to be humble and accept the fact that we don't know everything, nor we shouldn't. We are not better than others. We are all the same. There are things we know and we don't know. Some people have more experiences in certain things than the others. Some people are more exposed to that information than the others. Some people are more aware of things that they don't know. But the thing is that the moment we know that we don't know, there's an opportunity for us to learn. When you know that you don't know, learn. When you don't know that you're not good at certain things, work on it. When you know that you're good at something, embrace it. When you know that you don't like something, love what you love even more. Knowing something gives you more opportunity for appreciation. Knowing not knowing something gives you opportunity to know more. And we don't have to understand everything that's happening. 

God has given us this life for a purpose. And you might not know what it is. But have a faith in Him. He knows that you'll get there. You can get there. Your passion, your love, your struggle, your hope... everything you have is there for you. You're unique and special. You are already enough. Be you. Don't be afraid to be you. There is so much more in store for you that you can't even imagine. And that is exciting, isn't it?

Love, Hope, Faith
