Beyond our personal attitude towards life, there
are "acceptable" and "unacceptable" actions. How do we learn the difference?
We all are learning all the time, from every interaction we experience.
We are just not aware of this on a conscious level. Becoming aware of
how we develop as a person can be an enjoyable art in progress. We flow
with the choices we make as part of Nature's process. Humans are learning
that we can choose to evolve into a more humane, equitable, sensitive,
and enjoyable species. The process can be taught and experienced to see
if it is effective in our own individual circumstances.
First, we need to be nurtured and mentored into awareness of our many choices, yet not become overwhelmed by them. Then, we need an appropriate learning environment in which to face our mistakes, our current anxieties, and our future apprehensions. Finally, we need the patience to make adjustments and relevant changes that are satisfying to ourselves and that lead to a successful, respectful existence.
It becomes crucial that our diverse educators, from all walks of life, first realize their own internal attitude. This is necessary in order to be effective in guiding others through uncertain actions and directions. This type of learning cannot be forced nor mandated! This must be freely chosen from within each individual. Internal learning feels good to the soul when there is a sense of peace, harmony, connection, and synergy as a result of the effort. Satisfaction motivates continued success.
Do you want to try it to see? Choose a meaningful mentor whose approach mirrors this process.
