RE: Ask and you shall receive!
The story goes thus: Once a guys was distracted by his own ego but when he wanted a good change, he said. "I will no longer be distracted by my own ego, but focus outward instead"
They say two things define us.
Our patience when we have nothing and our humility when we have everything.
The greatest thinkers in the planet believes they're habitual learners, and habitual students of reality and of life. It was actually maya angelou who said.
"I've learned that I still have a lot to learn."
Often what limits our learning is that we believe we already know, we believe that we already have knowledge. We already believe that we have the answers, but actually opening up ourselves to learn from people around us, selectively choosing people who can be guides and wise advisors.
We often find that this feeling of "knowing" makes us actually judge others and criticize others, and that's why we see that.
"Judging is critical but observing can be educational."
And therefore we should be so focused in improving ourselves that we don't have any energy to criticize anyone else.
I believe that we should never let complements get to our head and never let criticisms get to our heart, because when we do that we can start to build with genuineness and authenticity.
When we are humble we can actually grow and rise up and always feel that we're learning, always feel that we are developing, always feel that someone can share insight at any moment that can change our lives.
Have you ever found it that similar situations keep coming into your life and actually nothing ever goes away until it teaches you what you needed to learn so, when we don't extrapolate lessons from situations we have to take that test again. We almost have to learn that lesson again. And therefore, simultaneous or repetative situations keeps approaching in our lives.
When we realize that we are students for life, instead of making people see how powerful we are, we want people to see how powerful they are and we learn how to empower others. We'll actually attract people to work with us to achieve our goals.
They say it's better to know how to learn than to know, because when we know to learn it becomes a habit, It becomes part of our mindset, it becomes a part of the way that we daily navigate life. We're trying to draw lessons from every person, every situation, every interaction, every moment that can actually teach us something about ourselves, teach us something about the world. Teach us something about how we can interact with that space.
That's why Brian Herbert said,
" The capacity to learn is a gift, the ability to learn is a skill, but the willingness to learn is a choice"
Wow. Brian juice.
My spirit is up in the sky.
I'm motivated on a Sunday.
