Week 41: The Deep Thinker

I have a close friend who is always searching for meaning, understanding and self-betterment. She explores new ideas and devotes a great deal of time to learning about the mind and the world -- all with the aim of being the best person she can be.

She is great at asking questions and provoking people to think about situations from multiple points of view. If you have a plan and want someone to help poke holes in it and make sure you are thinking clearly, she is the person to ask.

But she isn't just an advisor to others...she is a seeker of advice. She is the opposite of a know-it-all. For her, every situation is an opportunity to learn more about herself and others, and it is an opportunity to grow.

Most people are too busy or preoccupied to pause and think as deeply and clearly as my friend does. I'm grateful to have her in my life and I appreciate how she makes me a better person too.
