10 LEARNING IS A CHOICE

We learn in many ways, involuntary being one of those ways, often categorized as, learning by osmosis. 

I dare say that everyday there is something new to learn. However, I think the most impactful learning is by choice, where one refuses to be held in petulant resistance due to disillusionment but rather choose to push through all its constraints and disappointments into self-enlightenment.

My Young Self:

I use to think that people who've endured traumatic hardships were the wisest. I don't know why really. I guess my thinking processes were along the lines of, 'if one suffered great hardships they ought to be lessons attained from the experiencing.' At least I thought they should be. Well, you know the saying about when one assume (Ass-U-Me).

My Older Self:

What I've learnt observationally and in relationships is that suffering does not guarantee learning, nor does it automatically equal wisdom. Truth is, in order for wisdom to bloom, to take root and manifest, it must first have fertile soil in which to germinate. The soil of willing introspection and accountability. The germination comes with the willingness to shift, to invite change, to examine ones self critically without judgement, and to, of ones own free will, take accountability and responsibility for ones personal growth. 

Wisdom comes with action (it does not work otherwise), the action of your incentive participation in ones own growth. Hence, you making the choice to, learn from your mistakes, from your poor judgments/decision making, and from your unwillingness to get out of your own way siphoned from willful stubbornness; thus the lessons that births wisdom propelling you into your own excellence.

Learning is a choice

It's Accountability 

It is the gift, you give yourself

Wisdom is the tool you gain 

by which you can then USE 

to navigate the world

If you choose not to learn, 

you are guaranteeing your own 

pain and suffering.

If you fail to be accountable 

For your words, ACTIONS and behaviour

You are choosing to be right in your wrongness to save FACE 

Thus, creating your own ISOLATION and assuring, you will always feel 

alone and misunderstood. 

Nobody's perfect. 

Perfection is a phantasm to self-delusion

Everybody has to learn in order to grow 

to reach their excellence. 

There is a absolutely no shame in that.
