Staying Curious: Embracing Lessons As They Come

I was having a chat with a friend of mine some days ago and he said some things I had never thought before. They were so sensible that I almost doubted my sense of reasoning for not thinking that far long ago before now. At a point, I felt regret that I had not known about it before.

But then, it reminds me of the fact that we learn everyday and we grow by every single thing we learn, especially when we apply it. It's in my goals for this year to embrace as much opportunities as I can but somehow, we are into over half the year and I can't count to 10 opportunities taken.

Well, that also says a lot that I have at least taken over 5 opportunities that came to me or I went in search of, it's why I have the knowledge I have today and I am so grateful for that. Deep inside, I know I'm nowhere close to knowing anything and I want to keep that mindset to welcome growth.

Just yesterday, I thought up an idea that will help me document every new learning and unlearning that I am doing. I figured I tend to forget the things I've learned, and it's no thanks to the multitude of information at our disposal today so documenting the important lessons sound cool.

Where this is all going is, I am acknowledging that I don't know anything until I actually know something. I also realized that I've been searching for too big when all I have actually wanted is something small, for the experience and the learnings I'll have to embrace in all of it.

I'm glad to know a little better now than I did years and months ago. I'm promising myself never to stop learning while I keep embracing or pursuing opportunities that will take me out of my comfort zone. I believe what's ahead of me is way bigger than what I've seen, the plans I have, the opportunities to come and the people I'll meet, I choose to speak positivity into everything.
