Attitude changes things, doesn’t it?
From our perspective in time, most likely we don’t consider Michelangelo a “learner.” Being able to look at his works of art, to read about and marvel over his accomplishments, we call the man one of the greatest, most inspired artists of all time.
Michelangelo’s willingness to keep on learning could only help him be more creative. He was open to new ideas, to possibilities, to what might be — to what he didn’t know yet. There was more to know, and he was going to discover it.
When you think about it, “I am still learning” are four very powerful words. They have the potential to change not only what you know, but also what you can do, and as a result, who you are … and maybe even the world around you.
In Your Words: What’s something new you’ve learned recently? How do you ensure that you keep learning new things?

Well, I recently learned that inhaling the fumes put off by burning plastic in a confined space isn’t a very good idea. I actually had this knowledge from reading, but there’s nothing like learning through experience, especially when there’s no choice.
Deliberate learning is a luxury I can no longer afford, except when needs must. Wish it were different.

Should have skipped that lesson, Andrew.
And I will say you’re a pretty smart guy; seems like you have a lot of past lessons learned to pull from.
Wish I had skipped it. But needs must, and I am in a bit of trouble now.
In the end, it don’t mean nuthin’.
Not a thing.
Two things. I loved recently seeing that in Rev. 3 that it says He that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God and understand that it’s a PROCESS and He’s in charge–good to know. Also I have a very good memory but in two major cases where college roommates had made a huge effort to 1) attend my wedding, 2) another to visit my home in early years–I was shocked I did not recall that. Somehow I tucked away such kindness, perhaps feeling unworthy, but am on guard to clean my emotional eyeglasses and not to let forgetfulness of something so valuable happen again.

What a beautiful word picture, Dee — cleaning our emotional eyeglasses. I love that!
