What good secrets have your bad judgments taught you?
Hello to you listening in Leeds, Yorkshire, UK!
Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.
Once upon a time the wise fool and teacher Nasruddin Hodja was asked: Master, what’s the secret to happiness? Nasruddin replied, The secret to happiness is good judgment. Yes, Master, but how do we get good judgment? Nasruddin replied, Good judgment comes from experience. Yes, Master, but how do we get experience? Ah well, replied Nasruddin, that would come from bad judgment.
Growing up I had to do it my way! No matter who told me, No! I was determined to find out for myself. I touched fire to see if it was hot. Rode my two-wheeler bike down the steepest hill in town, no hands. No matter how much my intuition said, “When in doubt, don’t!” I did. Over time I learned that fire is hot, they do cut off your favorite shirt in the emergency room, and my intuition demands respect.
But, what if my bad judgment was the experience I needed to acquire the secret? What secret? Maybe not happiness but surely adventure!
