Unlearn, learn, relearn

[1]

Do you feel that you are stuck in your life and facing difficulties in moving forward? If you analyse the situations and find similar hurdles stopping you, then you need to understand your life lessons to move forward.
Our life is a sum up of all our experiences. We go through many experiences, some are pleasant and some are not. But these experiences help us identify our life’s flow — whether we are progressing or not. And they are essential to understand life’s learning, which lead us to growth.
Learning is a process that starts from the time of birth and continues throughout our life. Lessons start from very basic things like walking and talking, and lead us to a more difficult path like understanding of emotions. Every incident in life has a learning attached to it. If one accepts these learnings, similar incidents would not recur. No matter if the incident is pleasant or unpleasant; one must accept the learning of it and move on.
If one keeps himself or herself open to unlearn, learn and relearn from the life situations, the process of learning and growing becomes enjoyable, easier and faster. When one becomes inflexible in learning through experiences and not applying the learning, then the growth stops.
There could be a question popping up in mind, is this learning ever going to stop, and when? The answer to it is — no, NEVER. Life is a continuous process of learning.
To know whether we are open to learn the lessons, one needs to ask oneself — “Do I feel stuck in any area of life?”, “do I believe that I know a lot?” or “am I behaving arrogantly on my life path?” If the answer is ‘yes’ for any of these questions, then we are stopping ourselves from learning and growing. We simply need to amend our path with an open mind and get ready to learn from all the situations.
To make self ready is the first step for learning. For a while, try and practice to shift your perception and focus on results and achievements in your life and set all your energy into learning and growing. Ask yourself often through each of the experiences and circumstances — “What do I need to learn from this?” At some point in time, you would be clear on the lesson.
Consciously try applying these lessons to your life by making changes, if similar situations recur. This could be a moment of true growth.
Learning from experiences increase our understanding of the ‘why’ and ‘what’ of previous failures. It allows us to understand our own self. It is said, “Learning through our past, we can access wisdom in present.”
It is difficult to look back in our lives but remembering the learning through every experience gives us benefit of real perspective and helps us to enable true meaning of purpose in our life.
