Continuing to Learn the Lessons
I’ve been reminded this week of something that I once heard a client say: “I come back to this issue a lot, but it’s always at a whole new level, with a whole new learning.”
This week I began my participation in a high-level mindset and marketing group. It’s been a long while since I’ve been involved with something like this, in a way that felt like it truly served. Already, I’ve gained numerous insights and had significant breakthroughs; that’s the power of a group of like-minded people in a room, all with the deliberate intent to support each other in their growth, whatever that might look like.
The insights and learnings I gleaned aren’t particularly new; I’ve been aware of them in some way, shape or form for some time now. And yet, there was something in the power of the group that had the insights take on a new meaning, a meaning that had powerful impact and had me become aware of some next steps that have been eluding me for a bit. Powerful, powerful stuff.
I referenced my client’s quote at the beginning of this post because I’m reminded — and what you to know — that learning is an ongoing process. Even lessons learned once, sometimes have to be re-learned, at a new level, in a new circumstance for you to be able to move forward. My sense is that this is a function of your constant growth and evolution. The way you learned and hear a lesson when you were in college, differs from the way you learn and hear that same lesson within the context of a growing family, or as you transition between jobs.
Bottom-line: ongoing learning is very much part of life’s deal. And it’s not just about learning new things. Sometimes, it’s about re-learning old things. Being open to all of the learning is what allows you to keep moving on up. Knowing this, my question to you is this: what do you need to learn or relearn today?
Onward and upward…
