People have said to me that I'm an Old Soul.
I have been told by many that I have wisdom beyond my years. I am humbled to have figured this out. I have chosen to not do some things and why I have chosen to do some things. However part of anyone's wisdom comes from making choices that may not have been good.
One can attain wisdom through: experiences, observations, choices, and asking for advice. I achieved most of my wisdom from observations, choices, and experiences. However, there have been many a time where I had to ask for advice from Grandparents, other friends, et cetera.
I know that I've yet to experience a hell of a lot more in life yet. However I wish to take all of those experiences and seize them, even the bad ones, because I know I have something to learn from each experience. I'm not in a hurry to rush anything.
I like to look forward on my future. I only look in the past to find answers for a current situation I'm in. I look into the present to seize the moment. I know, wasn't that cliché?
I've given advice to several people over my 20 years of life. However, no one asked for my advice until I was twelve or thirteen years of age. At first, giving advice was a bit uncomfortable for me. I remember saying to myself for a while: "When did I become qualified to give advice?" and, at times, "This person older than me, what do they think they can get out of someone younger than them." Over the past seven to eight years, I've become comfortable with giving others my words of wisdom and I've come to terms with the fact that I am wise beyond my years.
When I don't know how to give counsel to someone or what to say to someone, I will admit that I do not have advice for them. On occasion, I will pursue the answer to some piece of advice that I couldn't give, normally by encountering a similar problem in my own life that I would have to ask advice for.
