I have been blessed with a rare disease....It is the disease of learning and being able to recognize learning moments. Most have their teaching moments with their children but not me...Heavenly Father must find me his little prodigy(I think everyone is a little mini-God here on earth) and finds all kinds of teaching moments.
The disease gets worse.. you would think it wouldn't but it does..My husband is very wise...That almost makes me sick to even write or even admit that publicly on a device that allows access to millions(don't remind me okay). But Kyle is...wise and has a lot of people skills. I am continually trying to figure out where this GIFT came from, oh ya--from above.
I have learned another lesson and I have yet decided what I am going to do with it. Do I actually apply it or do I just put it in the back of my learning cubicle in my small brain and just get through life, like I always do.
I came across this very AWESOME quote..and of all places it was off Facebook. Of course, I don't waste any precious time on Facebook, but every once in a while I come a cross something great..
I have been contemplating what I can learn from a few things that have really created a thinking in my head.
This quote leaves me with a lot of questions and the last thing I want to do is come across like I am better than someone else. And I know I have done that-not intentionally. But I am good. I am good at what I do. My ideas are good, the method behind my madness is scary because I am a powerhouse in life. Does this mean that I am better than you because I do it better. Absolutely not, I just won't ask for your help, because I will get it done. So where is the fine line?
I am currently taking a Team, Leadership Communication course at SUU and already in the two days we have had class, my eyes have been opened to the wide world of playing and communicating as a Team. So far I learned that communication and facilitating is key. It also is NOT everyone's strength and it is something that is LEARNED. It helps that this class is taught by one of my favorite women in the world. (Sage has been a mentor and dear friend to me since I moved back to Cedar City.)
But I can't help but think of situations that I put myself into everyday where this information will be so helpful. But the only way it can be helpful is if I THRUST my pride a side and really find a genuinty in myself that I don't if I have or not.
The reason I say my husband is wise is because I have to pay to take these classes and learn and this stuff comes so naturally to him. He really is a great Facilitator and don't get me wrong he has areas that he could be better at as a Leader but as my mini- "leader" he really teaches me alot.(He is more himself with me, than anyone else).
But back to this desire to learn...it is out there for all of us if we want to learn. It goes back to the old addage of DESIRE. We have to want it and I have spent almost 40 years thirsting for this kind of knowledge but is it possible to really apply it. (I will let you know)--But if I believe the above quote then I will focus on becoming a better me. And what does that mean?
To me it means......I don't wish to write it because what if I can't do it. What if I fail...What if I don't like it at first, What if it makes other people happy when I feel like crap...Maybe I GENUINELY don't want to give away my goods when I know it WON't come back at all.
Do you see my dilema...
But I do love learning and I do know that I will be held accountable for all that I learn here on earth. I know that if it is a "good seed" and I don't apply it I will be asked Why? I will be held accountable for the good and the bad and even the good I may keep from others.
Now I know I am throwing it totally out there and you too will be Judged for Judging me. Just a thought.
But the bottom line is I know have lessons to learn and lessons to apply. And if I do that Am I making a better me? Am I making me a better me if I keep it from people? (they don't need to know)..
