When I was walking the other day, I was asked: Well what do you really ever truly know? And for a lot of things, I really second guessed what I thought I knew, but I wanted to try to start with the things I really honestly knew, without any doubt.
I am sure with enough time I could come up with a ton of other lists or things, but the first thing I thought of was:
I know, with 100 percent certainty, no doubt, that my parents love me, support me, and would do anything for me that they could.
There was, at that moment, nothing clearer or more firm. Because even hours later, days later, weeks later, I still know that one things in my mind. In fact, every day so far in my gratitude journal, I have been writing my parents. The effects of their love and support have helped me be the person I am today.
There are a lot of things I know, but there aren’t as many things that I would bet my life on. There are things I know are true. But I would bet anything I have in the world on my parents.
This isn’t to say that I don’t know other things with certainty, but this is the first I thought of.
