“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.” Albert Einstein
Everywhere around us, we are surrounded by knowledge and lessons to be learned. Sometimes those lessons are hard and sometimes they are life-changing experiences. The key to learning is having an open mind and a willingness to learn.
Life’s lessons come to us in various forms. Yesterday I was wandering around an Ivy League university campus. As I walked I observed many of the students engaged in various activities. From chess to student government and physics to analytics the wealth of knowledge and willingness to experience the unknown was clear.
Libraries piled high with expansive content, our ability to learn starts with just being willing. Picking a book off a shelf or reading a well-articulated article can open our minds to our personal growth. Our perspective is modified as we learn new lessons.
The more I learn the more I realize what I really don’t know. I’m an expert of nothing and that I’m fully aware. New discoveries clarify my existing beliefs yet those emotions and knowledge I’ll adjust when new information is unearthed.
A darkness looms over my soul on days where I feel I haven’t learned. I love a day when my mind is filled and reached its saturation point. It’s invigorating yet exhausting.
When I lay my head to rest I’ll struggle to sleep. My mind racing from my latest revelations. With every chapter read questions are answered as uncertainties arise requiring further research and exploration.
I’ll learn where I am wrong and learn where I am right only as new pathways are created. Learning organizes and then reorganizes our brains. Information is compartmentalized as new connections are created.
Our learning mind sweeps through our stored databanks finding similarities and making new and unique experiences. Connections are made in our minds as learning helps to release stresses and anxieties. The more I learn the more excited and relaxed I feel.
As my bookshelves are overfilled with the knowledge I’ve learned, they also contain the unknown and uncharted territories. The more I exercise my mind the stronger it becomes. And the stronger it becomes the more information I’m able to absorb.
My quest for knowledge is immense and my future bright as I learn daily. The lessons I’m learning are the pathway to my future. My goals are manifested by my ability to learn and quest to explore. I’m writing my own destiny and each chapter is focused and purposeful.
