Learning

Learning is that gift which takes a concept which is foreign to your own thinking and makes it personally yours.  It filters through the quarry of your character and your past and brings forth a life that is unique and was never there before.  Learning is an openness to new thought.  Being vulnerable and allowing new seed to take root, yet taking care to filter out what is not truth and not helpful.  It is excavating an area of knowledge you enjoy, and digging deeper than most go.  It’s becoming the authority on a matter simply because you now understand that which is still a mystery to most.

Learning is an adventure of the mind which opens new possibilities in areas which formerly were believed unchangeable.  The worst risk of learning is looking like a fool, which in itself is a gain if you learn from it.  It’s believing you can develop in a knowledge that others only desire to attain.  It once was said extraordinary people are simply ordinary people who do extraordinary thinking.  Guess we all are candidates.
