Learning New Things…
How do you feel about learning new things?
Is it something you love to do or is something you resist because it feels better to be knowledgeable? Maybe for you, it is a combination of both.
You are meant to always be learning.
“if you aren’t growing, you’re dying”
Bob Dylan, in one of his songs, says: “if you aren’t busy growing, you are busy dying”
To always be learning. something new.
Research has shown that stimulating the brain has benefits at every age, by learning is one way. Although, to be always learning does not always feel good.
It can make people feel inadequate. Or inexperienced. Or not good enough.
For example, learning a new language. They say it is better to try and possibly mess it up than to not try at all. Ha… I agree with this. And I do practice it. However, it isn’t always positive. I will say the wrong thing, order the wrong thing. Have to be willing to risk that going in. Willingness to make a mistake. To get it wrong. To laugh at it.
Have you learned anything new since the start of this year?
