My summer has been full of learning.
I love to learn and I am constantly trying to figure life out.
I usually choose things that line up with my current worldview, so it’s seamless and relatively easy.
The learning I’ve been doing this summer has been different.
I have submersed myself into someone else’s worldview.
I have had my beliefs challenged, and my motives questioned.
I have argued in my head with my teacher while he’s speaking.
I have resisted and fought and struggled to understand through my lens.
I have wanted to quit, to run away, and to tell him he’s wrong.
Finally, I relinquished.
And I see a change in myself for the better.
I have learned a lot, but what I’ve come to understand is that it’s easy to learn more about what you already know.
But to have to stretch and dig deep, to think differently or change a belief… that’s a challenge.
It’s possible you also have some antiquated beliefs that need to be questioned.
This world is moving fast, and the ante is rising all of the time.
You might get left behind if you aren’t willing to go to new places in your thinking.
It’s not easy, but I’m telling you it’s worth it.
