The most valuable form of education is that of self education. That willingness and desire to keep learning new thing in your life no matter how old you are is the key to greater understanding in your life and even your purpose. I feel that too many of us go through life making decisions and reacting to situations with out even knowing why we react the way we. For example I have recently become very aware of my own shortcomings when it comes my own assertiveness when it comes to situations of conflict.
I am the typical easy going not much bothers me and inturn I try not bother anyone else. Never one to rock the boat even if mentally I know that the “boat” needs to be rocked a little due to an injustice or wrong doing of some sort. My typical reaction and instinct is to see the “other side” and basically rationalize the situation to diffuse any conflict that may arise, thus being able to ignore it all together. As you can imagine eventually this natural instinct for me has come back to bite me in the ass in many situations during my life time and honestly I did not know why I constantly thought that way.
It’s because of this irrational thought process that goes on in my head that has inspired me to write this post about the importance of self education. It’s only through constant research of educational materials that we can hope to evolve to be better people in our lives and be all that we can be. Honestly there are so many resources available to us in the world that there really is no reason for us to stop searching for more knowledge. We have so much access to different books on psychology, religion, cultures and education that there really is no reason for us to stop learning about ourselves other than our own inability to see that we should never stop learning and never stop evolving as a person.
i know this can be a challenge to get caught up in our daily lives and not make time to actively seek out new bits of education everyday. One way that I have started to take advantage of technology and have found it be a great time saver. Is a section of the iTunes store that I really never gave much attention to and that is the Podcast section which has a great library of FREE podcast for almost any subject you can think of. Another feature that I have started to utilize as well is the Audio-book section there are a great deal many books available again on almost any subject you might have interest in learning. Audio learning has really helped me to breakthrough some personal barriers that have been holding me back and has really worked for me. I know that audio books may not be for everyone but I encourage you to find some way of learning that works for you and try to work that into your everyday life, you will be amazed how a little bit of new knowledge everyday will move your life in interesting and unexpected ways. Find your groove and never stop learning!
