Good morning!
I am a life-long learner. I contribute that trait to my
success in achieving my personal and professional dreams. I am known
for asking 1,000 questions and always seeking to learn, inquire and
absorb.
Each day, we are offered many chances to learn. They
aren't always obvious. But if we pay attention, we can become
life-learners very quickly. Perhaps a co-worker or friend handles a
problem in an effective way. When we truly observe, we can adapt that
method in our own life. Or perhaps their resolution isn't that
productive - there is plenty to learn from that as well. When we are out shopping and see
how a sales person relates to a customer, we can learn the value of a
helping hand and a smile.
Likewise, if he or she isn't pleasant, we can learn how important and
influential a missing smile can be. Life is our greatest teacher.
There is always a lesson to be learned. Even when things are trying and
difficult and we can't seem to make sense of the "fog" -- there is a
lesson to be had. We often resist learning when we are in a "dark
place." But perhaps that is the time we need to observe, inquire and
learn all the more. I know my greatest lessons have come at the times I
really wanted to resist learning. It is when we actively learn from
both good and bad, we enrich our lives on a different level.
Your turn: Set a goal of learning
something from as many people as you can today. You may want to record
your "lessons learned" in your Catch-All Notebook to see how enriching
this exercise can be.
Your affirmation: I am a life-learner, and
everyday I harvest a new lesson that enriches my life.
And
as always, don't forget to start your day with a heartfelt "Something great is going to happen today... I
can't wait to see what it is!"
And
when ending your day ask yourself, "What is one
more thing I can do to make today matter?"
