What Have you Learned?
You are enrolled in a full -time informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lesson or think them irrelevant and stupid. You keep learning these lessons until the soul grows into love, joy and awareness.
This morning I was listening to one of the most impactful teachers I have encountered Ms Iyanla Vanzant, her question to us is what have we learnt from a challenging situation. And how do get to a point of learning compared to the place of knowledge.
Knowledge is gathering information compared to learning which is changed behavior.
Ms. Iyanla asked us to rise above the situation, come out of the making up of stories, the making of self and others wrong and bad. Observe it all then ask yourself "what have I learned?" where is the change or the new choices that has resulted from the knowledge. The challenges, the feelings, all of it forms part of the lesson.
This perspective really opened my eyes
Don't make myself or others wrong or bad
Make choices based on the knowledge to transcend you into a healthier space.
Write down what you have learned and continue practicing those lessons rather than focus on making up stories, focusing on victimhood, and hiding
That was the perfect message today and right on time.
Peace and Blessings
