   Today I will learn how it feels to organize two tasks I’ve been avoiding. One is a task I’ve never done before . . . that’s why I’ve been avoiding it. :)

   Walking into a sunrise with a thought of learning changes who we are by the time we walk out of the sunset that same day

   I LOVE that picture!

   I think I have to set out deliberately to stop learning too much at the same time, I’m beginning to get insatiable.

   But that’s not a good example I’m afraid; it’s the only one I have today.

   Oh Karin, I think your example is a fabulous one. It’s so easy these days to become a “fast food” learner, running a long, being satisfied by info-snacks, not going deep or really getting to know any idea really well.

   It’s a great thought that we might want to make friends with what we are learning rather than just say “hello.”

   There was a time way back when (don’t ask me) that I must have decided that life itself was the ultimate, never ending learning experience or more than likely, just the natural way I am. I can tell you, it’s been quite a ride. Or something like that. And although answers may not be immediately forth coming, they do come to those who wait and keep their minds open.

   I find that keeping my mind open and clear is a task I have to relearn everyday.
   On other things though, I’m still hard at work trying to disprove my own theory and recent post that multitasking is a myth so I can not only get the next chapter to my ABW series written (finally) but about three more posts as well. Perhaps learning not to overwhelm myself is a better learning experience for today, huh? :P

   Hi Kirk!
   That part about keeping my mind open is the part that is thrillinge especially thrilling if I can keep my heart open at the same time. The learning is then exponentially greater and stays more deeply.

   The learning every day that I have more to learn has become second nature to me and almost a relief, not that I realize that I’m not in charge of needing to know everything. Whew! what a relief!

   Today, I learned how important it is to be in the “present” moment on Brady (our cutting horse). She’s alot spookier and as I was daydreaming, I nearly lost balance when she spooked. She taught me today how to ride her and be here now

    Hi GP!
    I’m so glad you did, because I like having you here. Isn’t it great that we learn what we need to know just as we need to know it? :)

    Learning is a constant process, and more important is upgrading yourself and distributing the knowledge. We should not learn same thing over and over again, rather upgrade it and leanr new things. Thats the best part of blogging. We have so many blogs to guide but we all go after money…well destiny !! You need to decide what you want .

    Yeah i have a plan, An everyday plan. I read so many blogs and find something unique from them every time.

    Sometimes we don’t realize what we made or did is unique too, I think because nobody tells us. If one can act in group tell something about each other, it will be a constant growth. But Then we need to learn to work in group before we actually do.

    Plan and act and make it a daily routine.!!! Thats the key

    Hello Ashish!
    I hear the energy and joy that you get from learning. That’s so lovely. People around you hear it too. It’s reflected all over your blog.

    Learning a little, something new, something deeper each day is a great way to approach a life. Imagine how much we can learn if we do that with a passion. :)

    Well said Liz. It reminds me of the story about the person that claims s/he has 20 years of experience when actually s/he’s had the same one year of experience 20 times. It can be easy to fall into that trap. Like the physical body, the brain needs exercise to thrive. When the learning is turned into action, tremendous benefits follow in all aspects of our lives.

    Hi Nick!
    Welcome! You know that person too? :)

    Our brains need lots of room to do their thinking, time for reflecting and getting new visuals to change our vision and our point of view. With a new outlook, we can often spur ourselves into action. :)
