THE ART OF LEARNING

Quite interestingly, this life for most part is what we make it. It is what we put into it that tends to produce what we'll get out of it. That's how it is and we can never run away from it. The seeds we sow come back to us moments later as fruits or trees or bushes of different types and kinds. If we cultivate the habit of savings regularly, we are guaranteed something worthwhile in our "financial" or "wealth" accounts years later. If we cultivate the habit of sowing love into the lives of others, we are guaranteed the huge possibility of receiving great love at other times years later. If we cultivate the habit of good leadership, we are guaranteed the possibility of great followership down the line years later.

However, in all of these and many more "balls" that life will constantly throw at us, one major thing is primary and key and anyone who fails to recognize it as well as fails to embrace it is guaranteed struggles as time goes on. It's called LEARNING.

Learning (or should I say CONSTANT LEARNING) is the most important key to life's profitable progress. How so? Well....

1. It increases your maturity to handle responsibilities. 

Your capacity to handle a particular situation is increased because you're constantly learning and improving yourself. Your knowledge base helps to increase your capacity and that in turn helps you to handle more responsibilities.

2. It increases your rest.

Increased learning will always put your mind at ease. You will hardly fret in the face of challenges coming because your learning has equipped you with tools that can be used to face what's coming. While others sweat with wonder as to how to handle a situation, you will not have to bother about that because you're fully secure in what you know.

3. It increases your authority

As constant learning keeps you ready for anything, it also keeps you ahead. It makes you an authority in whatever area you must have spent time learning and preparing for. Sometimes, you could end up being the very best in that sphere and that in itself speaks of authority.

4. It increases your opportunities

For sure, once you have increased maturity, rest and authority, you've set up yourself for increased opportunities. You'd be the most likely candidate people will point to when a solution in your field or area of expertise is needed. Why would people want to go somewhere else when someone who can handle more responsibilities, isn't fazed by challenges and is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with is available (ie you)?

Learning drives progress and progress is the main thing that makes our whole lives worthwhile. If we aren't making progress we feel stuck and frustrated.

I don't know about you but I don't want a stagnated life and am surely eager to keep on learning so that I'll keep having progress. I think you should do the same because it's very much worth it.

Do please pause and ponder on that.....
