LESSONS WE MUST LEARN

There are lessons we must learn in the walk of life. If we do not take our time and allow the season of learning to take it’s full toll, we end up experiencing a bit of what could have been greater and more rewarding for us. We must try and maintain an attitude of learning all the time and never get to a place where we think there is nothing else to learn and we know it all. Nobody knows it all; we must continue the learning process as long as we live. Every experience we encounter is a learning curve depending on how you see it. The lessons we learn in life are there to stretch, to challenge and to teach us new things. Life teaches how to correct our wrongs, to learn what we could have done better, to think and see things from a different perspective and to know that every experience is worth going through as long as we have something to learn from it. Life is an educational institution and experience is our teacher. We must learn something every day if we must grow in knowledge and in wisdom. Some people will never learn anything because they usually believe they understand the lesson before it is fully taught by the teacher and this is a great mistake and folly. The key is that you must be wiser today than you were yesterday otherwise you have not learnt anything. Many do not always like being taught but we must always be ready to learn, otherwise we are on the highway that leads to many mistakes. I encourage you to keep learning; for the purpose of learning is growth and we must continue to grow as we continue to live.

"Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily." ~Thomas Szasz
