This is the Ramsey Call of the Day, part of the Ramsey Network.

So if you're 23, 33, 43, 53, 73, 73, 73, one of the hallmarks of people who live a high quality life is that they are perpetually

curious about things they don't understand or have experience with or knowledge of.

And, um, especially an area of your life that is bringing you pain.

And so when I had babies and we brought them home from the hospital,

they did not send me a manual.

I had no idea what to do.

I mean, I had been raised by humans, so I had somewhat of a idea there, right?

And I had people in our life that were around us, but I did not know how to be a parent at 23 years old.

So I could just blindly walk into that with arrogance and pride and say, well, it's my kid.

I get to decide, which that's a true

statement. It is my kid. I do get to decide. Or I can start reading books on parenting.

I can start taking a class on parenting. I can watch videos on parenting. And I can agree with

or disagree with what I'm seeing and thereby start to form out of my

curiosity my own process, which is exactly what I did.

And I raised three kids that are all successful adults.

And so far are raising successful grandkids.

Those kids are raising kids.

So, but I didn't know anything about it, but I didn't just start out as young and dumb and stay that way.

Right.

You are the walking example of that curious person, but what, what if somebody's not?

Like, can they?
