Our knowledge is a
little island in a great ocean of non-knowledge. – Isaac Bashevis Singer
The assumption is knowledge is incompatible with humility – which is the state of being teachable. Am I teachable? The Big Book says we know very little and much more will be revealed to us. Am I open to seeing things differently? Or do I do what I want, when I want to?
I have been reflecting on my behaviour and I am not happy with myself. I get tired or stressed and I head to the store to buy things that are not good for me. And my weight goes up, my sense of self-worth goes down, and I hate myself.
What will it take for me to be willing to be more teachable? To struggle with failure so I learn?
