Learning seems to be more difficult than I thought it would be. Having always been a good student in school, college and even the workplace, these life lessons seem to take longer to sink. I came across this quote this morning, and thought it apt for now.
Quote: Stupidity is repetition, repeating others. It is cheap, cheap because you need not learn. Learning is arduous. It needs guts to learn. Learning means one has to be humble. Learning means one has to be ready to drop the old, one has to be constantly ready to accept the new.
I need to be honest with myself and accept that taking on board wisdom on an intellectual level is far from being able to really assimilate learning on the emotional front, and until this is done, changing the habits of a lifetime are going to be prone to backslides.
This means I need to pace myself more slowly (!) and really dig deep into the issues that are holding back my growth. Habits that I'm finding hard to let go. Be focused, consistent. Take my time. Enjoy the ride.
