Enter to Learn, Depart to Serve
When entering a room, rather it being a classroom, work place or community building be readily open and focused on having a mindset to learn from any perspective.
When learning one must be humble to the fact that whatever is to be taught is not knowledge with previous understanding. One must continue to have the mindset of a novice.
Having a clear understanding of the importance of a proper mindset to learn when entering a room is vital. Exactly where in the space of clarity is learning taken place. Is it from a place of humility or a place of duty? Either way it is important to have a clear understanding of why it is most benefitical.
Most times the real learning takes place outside the classroom. Life is full of lessons most of them are not taught by a teacher but that of experience. From our experiences we develop a sense of how the world around us works and our place within it.
“One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning.”- James Russell Lowell
The situations we come in contact with prepare us to complete certain tasks throughout our lives in accomplishing our destiny or purpose.
In most instances we learn not only for our own benefit but for those around us. Lessons are reusable teaching points. Lessons once learned introduce new character traits we did not posses or that we did not know we were capable of possessing. These traits are forever apart of you just as much as your genetic sequence.
“Everything you learn isn’t to benefit yourself?”
Once this realization is made you start to become aware of the path of purpose and living a purpose filled life.
The service we provide to those we come in contact with is our duty from one human being to another. This is one of Life’s unwritten rules. To be kind to one another, lending a helping hand not a handout.
Just as we all received some form of assistance whether it be through mentorship, financially or physical support no one got to the point of their lives with no assitance given.
We must forever attempt to better ourselves and those around us. So in any situation enter to learn and depart having learned valuable lessons to impart on those we come in contact with. Never knowing how the lessons we began to understand can influence persons in our lives.
