Continuous Learning
I have always been a strong proponent of the concept of
continuous learning. I cannot think of a time in my life
when I didn't have continuous learning high on my list.
Learning and experiencing new modes of thinking and
interpreting this world in and around us are simply
frosting on the cake. We all know about frosting - not
only is it lovely to look at and yummy to taste, it adds a
new dimension to the prospect of eating the cake. It adds
fun!
Brian Tracy discusses continuous learning in his "Great
Little Book on the Gift of Self-Confidence." Here are some
of his theories:
o You are your most valuable asset. Take all the training
you can get to increase your value.
o A feeling of continuous growth is a wonderful source of
motivation and self- confidence.
o Invest three percent of your income back into yourself in
the form of continuous learning.
o High levels of competence and mastery in your field will
give you a feeling of unshakable self-confidence.
I remember in my previous career in Real Estate being at
the top of my game in a particular area of sales and
marketing. I continued to learn new things.
Several of my co-workers questioned why I continued to
invest the time and money in seminars, advanced courses,
books, tape sets and hiring a personal coach, for heaven
sakes. "You have already arrived, Ann. You couldn't
achieve more in your career? Where do you want to go?" The
continuous learning opened up new avenues of thinking for
me, new ways of expressing my being and new ways of
experiencing life. It made (and continues to make) my
world so much larger! Huge experiences and huge results
were not only imaginable, they were (and are still)
immanently possible.
So why not expand your world this week and look into just
one area for your own continuous learning? You could
listen to that tape set that has been collecting dust; you
could spend some time with an espresso at your local
bookstore or library; you could check out that winter
catalog of courses being offered in your area or you could
get on the computer and spend some time with Amazon.
See what there is to discover about you and your
ever-expanding world! Most of all, you could enjoy the
process and the new you that may be in the making!!
