The capability and capacity to grow is an essential part of what makes us human. We agree with this understanding based predominantly on physical and mental growth. We also believe growth happens up to a point. What we do not realize is we have the capacity to continue to learn as long as we choose to. It is about our mindset. We can enhance our capacity for learning by harnessing our intention to learn. By harnessing our focus on a desire to learn from whatever comes our way we expand this capacity. There need not be wasted interactions or experiences if we engage in harnessing the drivers which will lead to learning. It may mean harnessing our choices so we do not find ourselves simply doing what is expected. It may mean harnessing beliefs about ourselves which supports us as being learners. It may mean harnessing individuals around us who are similarly focused. All of these elements can be harnessed to support us in our desire. We think of learning as solely an intellectual exercise but we are not just body parts. We are impacted by and we digest life on multiple levels. As far as I can tell none of us makes it out alive. I am drawn to harnessing what I need to support the perspective that as long as I am here I am growing, hopefully in the direction of love.
