By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest." Xavier University
I have been thinking about what I have learned from life in 2023. I have been trying to make a list of some the most impactful learning experiences.
Out trip to Ecuador even though it was in December 2022 the experiences of caring for the disabled orphans at OSSO and being in Ecuador have had a lot of positive influence on me.
I learned anew how very comfortable my life is and how much I take for granted in my daily life. I realized as I traveled from Cuenca to Banos and back that I can be more aware, more in the moment and more thankful.
I want to keep trying to answer the question: what standard of living is sustainable and helps people thrive wherever they live in the world?
