Lesson 10: Unlearn &Relearn

Growth is in loops. Its a cycle.
What really does it mean to be willing to unlearn and relearn?
To unlearn is to undo what you have always known and to relearn is to take up a new knowledge.
Its to be willing to do away with what you have always known and be willing to get a better understanding,knowledge of something.
The fact that one has learnt something once doesn't mean one knows it all.That one learnt something doesn't mean one can really apply it right.That one learnt something doesn't even make it the right thing. Especially because things always present in different forms and ways.
Everything(people,society,etc) is changing everyday,so also are the dynamics of things changing,though,principles will remain.
I realized that to do this effectively,I have to pay attention to details like I wrote here.
Through it all,I realized that I must be ready to unlearn and relearn some truths so I can grow and keep growing.
Unlearning will require you to give other people's opinion a thought regardless of yours. I mean,allowing yourself to see things differently from another perspective. Been willing to unlearn and relearn places you at a point where you are not stern to always be right which could present you as arrogant.
It applies in all spheres like in acquiring knowledge to better your skill,relationships and basically all that  I have spoken about in previous lessons.
The truth is,unlearning is hard especially if you have to unlearn something you have lived most of your life with but you gotta do what you gotta do to be better you know.
Be willing to learn from everyone and anyone so long as you come to understand what you really need to.

As you keep on with the cycle,you evolve and grow. Yeah,learning,unlearning and relearning..

#finally,I feel fulfilled!! I feel happy!! Like,I'm so excited right now.I really hope you learn alot from these lessons. Thanks for always stopping by:)

The Black Bag

Running over from the end of the class where I was sitting to my course mate,I sat on the chair next to him as I placed his school bag on my legs. Staring at the bag for a while,I said, precious Holy Spirit please teach me a lesson from this bag. It was a black leather-like bag with patches on the side(some parts of the bag peeled off). As I starred at the bag I asked my course mate-How old is this bag? He said to me,its about a year old. Its amazing how people tend to defend their actions even before you make your comment(He was already giving me reasons the bag looked that old/tattered). I discovered the bag was too good to be that tattered at less than one year. That was the lesson right there: There are people who are strong and passionate,vibrant and active,with so much beauty radiating from their inside out. But then situations in life may rise up,some beyond human control,some at the mercy of human that could make someone as good as that black leather bag become so tattered li...

#misfit

Attachments area Preview attachment IMG4F8C It was one of those days in September (2015). I had this outfit on to class. I sure did feel good and confident in it :) . I'm getting to class and couple of my group mate are amazed! (that expression between shock and cool). Yeah! I've never really dressed in that kind of style before. .... As I walked down the street,I actually did think about people been surprised at my outfit for the day. But then,I thought,this may not be my conventional style but someone will see me and get very comfortable been his/herself. Why?- someone else can resonate with their style.That alone gave me some more confidence with every step I took. Every other person is classy and elegant but you are bohemian  Every other person is corporate but you are casual Everyone seems to have it all figured out but you are lost. Everyone seems to be short but you are tall Everyone seems to be doing life big but you can't st...

FOCUS N or P

I’m sure you are wondering by now, what does focus N or P mean? Yeah,its worth the think. I’m sure you are familiar with the way a camera works, at least to some extent. The android phone/iPhone users can own this complement. You’ld often realize that some pictures don’t come out ‘fine’ or clear because whoever was behind the phone did not focus it right. Having seen the picture, you be like ‘omg this picture is blurry’. How many have friends who take blurry pictures (winks.)- this is by the way.(I do that sometimes). Youl’d realize that one or two taps on your android phone makes the image much clearer. For my photographer folks, a gentle turn of that Nickon D3300’s focus ring  and or zoom ring would give a perfect picture.  Just like a camera can produce both positive and negative images, so also our minds, based on our focus. In Numbers 13:30-31, Caleb and Joshua happen to bring back a good report as compared to the report of the other representati...
