What encourages learning?

Posted on by philipdodson

We always look for what went wrong.

What if we choose to look at what we could do even better?

There are no good or bad things in life, it is all an opportunity to learn.

Learning works best when we see where we can do even better. If we take a positive approach to it, it encourages us to grow to a higher version of ourselves. We see ourselves as already worthy, already good enough, which we all are no matter what.

Growth is all personal and there is no right or wrong, it is up to us what we want to expand into and to enhance ourselves. Staying as we are is also a choice, it does not matter.

What matters is not to focus on the negative energy of what we are conditioned to believe is failure as the mind will use it as a continual stick to beat ourselves with in the future. This does not encourage learning.

What encourages learning is acceptance of who we are and feeling worthy no matter what. It then becomes a platform where we can positively choose to enhance ourselves to a higher version, one that we set and not others.

Bigger…better

It is always the simple things in life that bring us most joy. Yet we are always looking into the future for the next big thing.

The ‘ordinary’ moment is where all the magic is and in the ‘big moment’ when it arrives it is in reality just another ‘ordinary’ moment.

Life is always now, this moment, that is the only time anything is real, all the rest is in our head. In our head, we always are someone else, either a past moment or a future moment. Reliving the last ‘big’ thing or looking forward to the next ‘big’ thing.

The biggest thing in all our journeys always happens now and we create them now. What we imagine is just that imagination and a denial of what already is, hoping that the next moments are better and when we do get there, we want to be somewhere even better.

When we accept life is a simple existence that happens now, joy is always there, when we look for something bigger or better we are always disappointed and lacking.
