Life is Learning

Posted: Oct 10, 2009 Sat 12:08 pm     Views: 170    Interacts: 8

I have just discovered that each difficulty comes with an opportunity to learn. More often than not, we are just so focussed upon combating the problem that we let the opportunity slip through our fingers. Such opportunities, if grasped timely, can open many new avenues into undiscovered dimensions of our own selves.
At the end of the day they can truly be a reason for you to be a grateful individual for having encountered such a difficult patch in your life, that left your experiences and self more rich than before.

After all, what is life if not learning? :)



On another note altogether, cheers with this record of Frank Sinatra. Enjoy :)

I liked the phrase "...Learning is Life"

quin,
The journeys that endure 'the dark nights' are the most rewarding and enriching milestones in a spiritual quest. Hope yours is no exception. :)

Delirium,
So apt: "a host of learning points enriching our experience if nothing more"!
You are right, Life is all learning, and Learning IS life! :)
Hope you maintain a rich one!

Absolutely. Every crisis accompanies an opportunity and every failure yields a host of learning points enriching our experience if nothing more. Life is all learning till the last breath.

correction "...The whole purpose is to journey towards knowing our spiritual reality"

oh, I don't see my comment there anymore. Anyway, hope it makes sense.

absolutely, and in the end, it is learning about our spiritual reality. The life presents us with the problems, according to our level of spiritual ascension. The whole purpose is to journey towards knowing ourselves at our best. And every moment, every step is woven with that meaning.
