Learning is a skill, and you can also learn that. With time and comfort, we get attached to the convenient way of doing things. We prefer to stay at our comfort zone and we don't dare to go beyond that. This makes us to stop growing, or even shrinking...
Learning is a special art of life, where you are able to renounce some convictions and allow yourself to experience with something else. It is not that you only assimilate knowledge; your awareness stretches and you become a different person with that.
Learning creates change. Not the change that comes from outside, but the change that comes from a deep realization and experimentation.
How to learn? That is the question today more than any other moment in history as everything is really available, so there are no excuses to not learn. And if you are a person with difficulties to learn something, try this:
- Understand the reason you should learn something. Is this worthwhile? Do you really need that? Will this contribute for your growth or for others'? If the answer is YES, then go ahead, but if the answer is NO, learn an important lesson: learn only that is valuable for you, otherwise your learning process will turn into a struggle.
- Look for a method to learn. Not all methods are good to everyone. Try yours! Talk to others and check how they do it. Rehearse, change and rehearse again until you feel you are really learning.
- Don't get enticed by knowledge. Learning is a dance for two, and experience is also very important.
- Don't let yourself get lost into experience. Theory is fundamental so that experience can be repeated or reenacted.
- Fix certain aims for learning. Not too high, not too low, something that can be achieved.
- Enjoy learning! A lot! It has to be funny, interesting and motivating by itself.
The main advantage of this skill in your life will the easiness to change, as change means adaptation and adaptation means learning.
