Keeping it simple..!

Why is it that our mind avoids complications but creates it effortlessly ?!!

I wonder , if  branding something " difficult" is a clever ploy we employ to resist learning. Is learning not about roaming in the unknown and soaking it in? Can learning happen in comfort zone? can you reach for the stars without stepping out?

I was at a class today.. learning a skill..and i learnt a few things about learning..

  • An empty cup helps.. when you are so full of yourself , there is no room for learning.. In a space of learning do i have the humility to be empty and absorb the lesson ? is a question well worth answering..
  • Is your heart in it? When the heart is fueling the desire to learn , the fire to learn and absorb stays well stoked.
  • There is nothing which is "difficult" .. its just a name to avoid the learning 
  •  Rome was not built in a day.. One step at a time..and  keeping at it, until you get it truly helps!
  • Fears  definitely do not help, especially the ones of judgement, failure..They need to be checked out..at the door..
  • A Good teacher most truly is the best help, you can possibly get!
So when you teach keep it simple.... when you are learning do not be deterred by what does not seem simple!
No wonder , a wise one opined.. It is so simple to be easy but not easy to be simple!
