You Are Always Learning
What you learn and how you learn is yours to choose
Life is constantly in motion. Even when you take time to be still it tends to be only a moment.
When I was a kid, as much as I was the geek who enjoyed school, a part of me looked forward to being done with my formal education. I have often said that college was less about learning from my classes and professors and much more about learning how to become an independent adult.
As I got older, though, I started to see that while formal education tends to come to an end there is perpetually more to be learned. In truth, you are always learning.
Some of the things that you learn are obvious and in your face. Others are far more subtle and even might not occur to you until well after they were learned.
It’s equally important to learn both what to do and what not to do. Sometimes knowing the wrong way will teach you far more than knowing the right way.
Embracing that you are always learning can help you to grow. Your life can improve, and you can develop new abilities, talents, skills, and knowledge. Also, when you embrace that you are constantly learning you become better enabled to work with change.
