On what subject(s) are you an authority?
Oh goodness……there is nothing. Nothing I would be confident enough saying out loud that I’m an authority in. I’m a work in process. Still learning.
However I will say my children believe I am an expert in life. Especially my little blondie seven year old. She asks me so many questions. Some redundant and some that are truly thought provoking.
I have to assure her that I don’t know everything in life. And that nobody really does. But that’s the beauty of life and what makes life interesting.
I notice how my children look to me for answers. And right now, “I have them.” But soon enough they will realize that I don’t know as much as they believe.
However I will always encourage them to be an authority on themselves.
You will always be worth getting to know and specializing in.
The quote in the title is by Leonardo de Vinci. And I can testify that learning about myself has been the greatest gift I have ever given myself. And this is a gift I wish to pass to my children.
