Never Stop Learning!

Never stop learning is a motto I have had for a while now. It became something I strived for everyday. To never stop learning, either learn something new, or learn to do something better. Growing up this was something that did not interest me at all. I never strived to do anything more than I was required to do to get the grades I needed to pass. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I adopted this motto. Had I thought about this when I was younger, I would be further along in my learning. However, I don’t think I would have been as focused as I am now.

They are correct in that you are never to old to learn something new. I often feel overwhelmed and that I don’t have enough time to learn all that I am trying to learn. To get past this I remind myself that my days are limited and that I just have to learn as much as I can in the time that I have. This is not something I think of as dark, its just something that keeps me focused on learning something new. I also find that it is easier to learn something new if you are passionate about what you are trying to learn.

I am currently learning what it takes to make movies, short films and write screenplays. This is a lot of information and it feels very overwhelming and daunting at times. I just take it one page at a time and one subject at a time. I hope to have a short film created soon. The other thing I have been learning is how to be a great leader. The shocking thing about this subject is that I was not passionate about it when I first started learning about it. 

Simon Sinek sparked a passionate in me that too my by surprise. It is not that I didn’t want to become a great leader, I just didn’t feel very passionate about the subject. However, after reading his first two books, Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last. These books have sparked a passion to want to learn as much as I can about being a great leader. I hope to share that journey with you. 

What are you currently learning? Is it something new? Is it something you are passionate about? Stop by and share. I would love to hear about what you are learning. As always take care of yourself and each other!
