"Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment"

Came across this quote from the ancient mystic Rumi. So often we feel that we need to have all the answers, be in control, and never admit any weakness. As this quote states, there are times that it can be very wise to set aside the need to be "clever" and instead, admit that we do not know everything. When we can be open to learning something new, we are better listeners and may even realize that our "version" of the facts is not entirely accurate.
So...being "clueless" once in awhile may not be such a bad thing! It may just mean that you are stepping out of your comfort zone, trying something new, and being open to where that experience might lead.
Have a peaceful day!
