I believe there is something to learn from every encounter in life. However, I think we are conditioned to think it only counts if it’s something big. My response to that thinking is, who defines big? We can be impatient lot with the, I want it and want it now mentality. Many are on a constant quest for the big revelation or epiphany and completely miss the little bits & pieces of knowledge and wisdom along the way.
When I have conversations, I keep an active thought in my head, what can I learn today? In fact, one of my daily goals is to learn at least one new thing. I did pick up some bits and pieces from a conversation with Doug at the coffee shop this morning and will pick up more throughout the day. If you are engaged in life, there are opportunities to learn in every encounter. Go out and find some today. They’re waiting for you.
