There is an invaluable quality that should be part of your arsenal for life. Not only does it arm you for life’s unexpected arrows and your reaction to it; there lies an empowering humility to it.
“It” is learning. I have been on an intense learning journey that feeds me in a way that is shaping my soul. I can read, evaluate, analyze, listen; these mechanics, skill and discipline are important to feeding yourself.
What I have found more important than the content and the mechanics is this question; am I allowing the learning to mold and shape me?
The molding and shaping can be like that first chiropractic adjustment after going years without having one. Shaking and popping the gaps and spaces in our hearts and minds will inflame them. This is precisely where learning will shape and mold us.
If I am not willing to endure some inflammation; then learning becomes an empty practice that leaves me in a state of apathy.
When I am moved off my mark because learning illuminates my mind and spirit; my best self emerges. Becoming a source and spreading seeds of life, authentic optimism, and reassurance for Carrie, Bel, and Colt.
Purpose led satisfaction is a product of pushing, pulling, moving, shaping and becoming invigorated through learning.
Empowerment and humility are waiting on the wheel.
