It has being proven that 70% of the things we know today weren't learned in school. At every point in time, you're learning something. One thing some people don't always realise is the fact that they are always doing something be it productive or unproductive. We're always building either the good character, attitude, habit or the wrong ones. Ever heard of some folks that will boldly tell you that they've learned everything? They're bragging in what they can't give detailed explanation if asked? When anyone start saying words like "What's there to learn again?" That person automatically conditions His mind not to see the lesson in every word, action or reaction. The mind conforms to the way an individual wants it to. For everything and in all circumstances there's always a lesson. Right from when a man was given birth to till when the man dies, He will always have something new to learn.
How do you condition your mind to learn the good things and erase some unproductive files from your it?
Cultivate the good habit, attitude and response to everything and everyone who speaks to you bearing in mind that for every conversion, there's always a lesson. If after a conversion with an individual you're not inspired or motivated to take drastic steps towards improving in yourself, quit conversing with that individual. Life is too short for you not to make every minute and all your conversation worth it.
Recognise the lesson that is in everything(good or bad) that happens to you. How will you know how to adjust when you've never found yourself in that tied situation? How will you learn new principles and application when you've not being faced with mind-blowing challenges? Every adverse circumstance carries in it the seed for it solution. There's always something new to be learned. Some persons will always say "Why me" Why you? Yes because it must be you. How will you know you've made tremendous progress when you cannot make use of your what you had already learned.
Every lesson in life is a weapon for your next level.
You cannot say you're in the next phase of your life when you have nothing to show for. Don't just grow in size, grow in wisdom and knowledge(information)
Learn something new everyday to add to the already existing information, study more to improve in yourself, become versatile. Always have if not the full answer but at least something to offer, never be too comfortable not to have something to say about any reasonable thing that's been said. Acquire more knowledge, study beyond your field of discipline in school.
When you're taught rightly; you'll think rightly, when you think rightly; you'll talk rightly, when you talk rightly; you'll act rightly. What if you never allowed yourself to be taught? Listen, Your life can only go in the direction of your words. You're words is that power which control your life. Change your thinking. Negativity is the fastest killer. Are you aware that even if a man who has no cancer in His body is being informed by the doctor that He has cancer, once the man accepts that information, think and meditates on that information, it'll produce the cancerous cells in His body. Think the right thoughts and apply the right principles. Recognise the lesson in everything that you do because there's always a lesson in all triving circumstances
