Do You Know How to Become A Life Long Learner / Do You Even Know What It is?

 

 

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO BECOME A LIFE LONG LEARNER / DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS?

 

 

 

As children our daily task is to learn as much as we can everyday, try new things, experience, test our nerves when we’re told no, to do it anyway.

 

When we become young adults in college, we are learning more academics or theory based principles.

 

During our adult years, we are putting to practice our theories & tested skills of what our earlier years & education has taught us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, as we become more experienced, the saying we try to abide by is to: “learn something new everyday”.  Sometimes that holds true, other days, well not so much because life can get in the way.

 

 

 

 

Medical science has found that continued learning something new to challenge our mind is ‘good for our brain cells, to keep them growing’.

 

Why?  Well, the old saying of; “if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it”, is derived from the use of the brain cells, their continued use, stimulation & growth.

 

 

 

 

However, today is not a neurological lesson on the brain cells.

 

Today I want to share how you can become a Lifelong Learner.

 

 

Continuing to learn things is a way of continued growth within yourself.  It’s easy, doesn’t require costs classes & something you can & may be doing right now on your own.  But the question is, are you doing it properly.

 

 

 

 

Here is what I’m referring to:

 

 

 

 DO YOU KNOW HOW TO BECOME A LIFE LONG LEARNER  /  DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS?

 

 

 

 

Start with your attitude:

Lifelong learning begins with a heart that desires change, wisdom & application.

Ask questions:

Learners ask good question.  They possess a passionate curiosity, the longing to know, discover & inquire about things.  Ask questions that get below the surface.

Join others:

Collaborative learning; in classes, small groups, with friends & colleagues.  This allows you to benefit from diverse perspectives & approaches.  People are a gold mine of learning that just is tapped through conversations.

Check out the other side:

Take time to examine & understand another point of view openly, even if it radically contradicts yours.  You may see things in a new light, or you may have your old convictions strengthened.  Personal convictions that have never been tested, can remain flimsy. 

Read broadly:

Include a diversity of books, authors, & topics.  Resist the temptation to read only those books that reinforce what you already believe or know.  Include personal development books to help your inner self growth, to mature & stay positive about yourself.

Keep a journal:

Recording what you learn, captures your growth in wisdom.

Experiment:

Try new approaches & ideas.  Age does not affect your ability to learn.  A ninety (90) year old can learn to surf the net like an eighteen (18) year old.

Apply what you know:

Our depth of understanding is often directly related to our ability to apply what we’ve learned.  Application of what we’ve learned, takes knowledge from the head (brain) to the heart.

We should ALL make it a point to learn something(s) new everyday.  Make it a “habit” to learn & do something  you’ve never done before, everyday.

Remember this:  a day without learning new things, is a day without growing.

BY THE WAY: Are you having challenges or struggling with things in you life, lost your job, out of money, recovery from injuries with bills coming in overwhelming you, grieving, down or depressed?  I know what you’re going through, I’ve been there, it hurts, its terrifying & you have no clue where to turn.

I honestly have been through this myself.  I was in a tragic accident last year & lost my job / income, my health & mobility.  I was devastated, the bills never stopped coming in & I was drowning in debt.  Sound somewhat familiar?
