Lightning learning

IMG_6985

If you want to change something, then you need to find a way of accelerating your learning.

You can only accelerate your learning by doing more.

Doing more comes from building a habit.

It’s the building the habit that is the challenge initially. However, armed with a real deep down desire to change something, the commitment to do the daily habit forming routines, to do the practicing, to cut the new pathways in the brain, to build the momentum, comes easier and easier the longer down the path of change that you go.

Learning like anything else, gets better with practice, so as time passes the learning ‘muscle’ gets stronger and stronger, and you learn faster and faster.

You will reach a point of lightning learning compared to where you previously were and the more you continue, the more the compound effect takes place.

Like all things that are worth it in life, it takes time and patience with yourself. However, the quicker you are able to learn things, the faster you can accelerate your self-development and change becomes faster too.

Ah but…

Our default position is ‘ah but..’

We look by habit for what won’t work with a new idea. We say ‘yeah but, what if this happens…’ or ‘yeah, but I’ve tried that…’.

That does not mean we should not question things and look for challenges. But more often than not, until you try something you won’t know what the issues might be, other than the glaringly obvious things, which can easily be remedied before pressing the launch button.

The reason for this is our habit of building a cast iron defense for justifying our position of fear of starting or trying new things.

Best thing is to just go, try it. Then learn what doesn’t quite work, modify and carry on. Form new habits.

It is a mindset thing, change the default to that will work from what won’t work.
