Much of our lives revolve around different circumstances that involves learning and that requires deep understanding to what is really happening. We play different roles in a society that as human we must be knowledgeable enough to act upon the role we play depends on how we adopt ourselves based on how we truly understand our purpose in life.
As we all know recall follows repetition right? When we have read something or studied something that bought to us some important meaning, that somehow benefited us that as we have turned it over in our mind time and time again, our interpretation to that meaning has evolved considerably. Perhaps you can benefit for that observations. As a learner we always find meanings and answers to those teachings we have acquired but we are sometimes struggling to find answers because it requires application and understanding. But what does really matters though? The theories we have acquired or the lessons behind that teachings? Does it require results? Perhaps we must patiently use our senses to observe in order for us to fully comprehend the learning being imparted to us not just because it is required but to face the fact that we need to be educated. That we are subject for learning and growth with wide range of comprehension and intelligence to interpret those things around us. We may lend our ears to listen, use our eyes to see things clearly, open our mouth to speak kindly and use our sense of feeling to sensitivity. What a pleasure to be a part of a responsible learning process that will bring us also a heart to understand.
We as learners, we have acquired intelligence and we also add knowledge as we search for answers, study and self education. To our knowledge, we add experience which should lead us to a level of wisdom. In addition to that wisdom is our desire to ask help through prayers of faith, asking for guidance and strength. Then and only then, we do reach the real understanding which will motivates us to do what is right with its consequences. Let us remember always that we must not rely on our own understanding, but acknowledge the presence of the One who created us from the start and that will make a difference.
