30 Day Affirmation Challenge - Day 13

My ability to learn continues to surprise me.  Here I am at 40 and I am still learning something new almost every day. 

I've recently self-taught on Microsoft Project and Visio.  While I'm no self-professed expert, I do know my way around the programs enough to get through the tasks I need them for.

I love to learn new things.  I'm currently completing my Diploma of HR - can't say I learned much new stuff, but I did pick up some little tips here and there to assist me on my HR journey.

Even just learning new things about my friends is a great education.  How special do you feel when someone remembers something about you that you've talked about before.  I make a point of trying to remember those little things and mentioning them in conversation.  I want my friends to know that I've learned, I've listened and I'm interested in their lives.

My greatest learning came from a self-awareness session.  It reinforced something that a friend said to me long ago.  As I moved through the sessions, I remembered what my friend had said and I grew stronger because of it.  One day I must remember to thank that person for their comment.

Life is a journey of learning.  We can learn from what life throws our way and become better people and stronger people.  That in itself is a learning.  So now each day I find myself asking what I learned.  What was a lesson to take from the day.  And I'm yet to find a day where I haven't taken something away with me.  And so I keep growing.
