Chapter Eight
LearningWe Must Learn Our Own Lessons, in Our Own Time, in Our Own Way.
Learning is a process, not an event. A willing, open attitude prepares us to learn. When a student is ready to learn, a teacher will appear, either as an individual or an experience. The power of experiential learning – thinking, speaking, taking action – cannot be overstated.
Lessons
How Do Issues of Learning Influence You Today?
Building Trust
Learning, knowing, and becoming wise are not passive. They are active, engaging experiences that become ours. Once we create an experience for ourselves, our brains can re-create and practice the activity. If we can do something once, we can do it twice.
Skills
How do I get unstuck? By learning new skills! When it comes to learning, consider mastering these: Learn how to learn. Avoid excuses. Have perspective. Rehearse do-overs.
Getting Unstuck contains step-by-step, how-to details of these and many other skills. If you’re really stuck, perhaps I can help!
Perspective
“A willing, open attitude prepares us to learn. Of course, insight is not enough. We must apply our learnings
in order to change.”
Esther Bleuel
