If learning was easy I’d be smart

I’ve discovered rather painfully, on more than one occasion in life, that learning for me is tough.

It requires me to understand others and me, which means listening.

It then requires a willingness to change and to realise that the choices that I’ve made and continue to make, have consequences for me and others.

It requires me to leave the right and wrong behind and to be accountable, responsible but free from reproaching me and others.

Learning is one of the hardest things I have to do.

I realised most of all that I can only do it if I want to.

If learning was easy, perhaps I’d be smart, but the struggle of learning makes all that more satisfying and lasting.

On with the struggle, the baby steps to learning pay off if I’m patient.

10 years from now…

10 years from now…

What does life look like for you?

What will you be doing?

What are your dreams?

5 Years from now…

Ask the same questions.

10 years will pass quicker than we all realise. What were you doing 10 years ago, what dreams did you have then?

How many did you achieve?

what is in the way?

When will you start taking the steps to reach your goals?

Does it really matter what our goals are?

Surely it matters not what our dreams or goals are. What matters is we do our best to achieve them.

That requires doing something about them right now and to keep as often as possible doing something about them.

Otherwise, 10 years from now, it will be too late.
