I'm Learning

I'm Learning

They say the one thing constant in life is change and I don’t think anyone could argue with that even if we wanted to. Changes are ever constant whether it is physical, mental, financial, etc. Changes can be for the good or bad, for the better or worse but despite its context I’m learning that every change is an opportunity. An opportunity to learn something new & therefore grow. The funny/tricky part is when you’re learning you’re not always learning something new per se. Sometimes you’re re-learning things you’ve forgotten. Sometimes you’re simply learning that you still are and will forever more be learning. And that’s what I’m learning. I’m also learning that it’s ok to be learning; in fact you’re much better off learning than not learning. I’m learning that learning is a choice and it’s not always easy (to accept). I’m learning that the only thing holding me back from my greatness is myself but I’m also learning that it doesn’t have to be that way. I’m learning that fear is a handicap/disability yet a learned behavior. I’m learning that I am amazing and as amazing as I already am I can be even more amazing. I’m learning that I’m not always going to pick up on the lesson right away, sometimes I’m going to have to put in some “extra studying”, maybe even hire a “tutor”.  I’m learning that everyone’s not going to feel me that sometimes I’m not even going to feel myself. I’m learning that it’s ok to be dissatisfied so along as that dissatisfaction drives for improvement. I’m learning that even though I pride myself on being a “student of life” learning’s not always going to be fun. I’m learning that every desire doesn’t have to be fulfilled/validated. I’m learning that you can love and appreciate someone from afar and that sometimes its best that way. I’m learning to be flexible, because a lot of things aren’t going to play out the way I anticipated, but all things are working out for my own good. I’m learning that learning is a learning process within itself and once you’ve mastered the art of learning than learning isn’t so bad/painful after all but rather liberating. Learning is a never-ending blessing, gift & curse all in one but it doesn’t have to be in vain. Because as you learn, you inevitably teach…and as you teach you learn.

“Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learned.”
