As
one of the most inspiring professional motivational speakers in South Africa, I
will show you that, it is absurd to think that people can easily tell you about
their favourite restaurant, movie, or pastime, yet they cannot even name an
author of great developmental books, let alone tell you about their favourite
one. It really astounds me that people can so easily talk about their favourite
place to feed their body or ways for entertaining themselves, yet they do not
have a clue about how they can feed their mind and grow themselves.
As
one of the top professional motivational speakers in South Africa, I ask you to
answer the question “Why do you think
this is”? Is it because we are so desperately seeking pleasure and instant
gratification that we cannot or will not focus on investing into the one thing,
which will give us the greatest pleasure, meaning and fulfillment in the future,
namely our personal development. I believe that there is no single investment,
which will bring any greater return than you can earn from your on-going
commitment to your personal development.
Accelerated Learning
Curve
Scientists
have been aware that we all have an accelerated learning curve, present from
birth, until about the age of eighteen. This dramatic ability for us to learn new
things is staggering. We have the ability to learn an incredible amount in a
very short space of time. The tragedy is that most people stop reading or
trying to learn anything once they leave school or university and so they
stagnate and stop growing. Yes they learn a little through experience, but for
all intents and purposes they remain trapped in a cycle of zero growth and
stagnation.
Can
you imagine if you found a way to turn that learning ability, you had when you
were younger, on again, and you continued learning and growing for the rest of
your life? Imagine how your world would expand, the new skills you could
develop, the new capacities you could invite into your experience and how your
ability to invite success, meaning and fulfillment into your life, would just
keep endlessly expanding?
Action Idea: Dare to be that unusual person, who
keeps expanding their learning curve, commits to a lifetime of learning and
develops an appetite to keep growing their world. This is achieved through your
daily commitment to learning, through reading, listening to audio books,
engaging mentors, attending masterminds and seminars and learning as much as
possible from your daily experiences. “Learning
most certainly does turn into earning”.
All the knowledge and
Skills can be learned
Of
course you must always play to your strengths and hire people to support you with
your weaknesses. You must however commit to consistently grow your strengths,
if you want to become the best you can. Everything you need to learn is
available to you, if you follow the writings of the influential people who have
gone before, you engage the services of a mentor or coach and you open your
mind to always be on the lookout for new knowledge, skills and abilities.
Have
an open mind, search magazines, libraries, documentaries and any other learning
opportunity, which comes your way. Be open to an intellectual feasting and you
will most certainly see your world expand.
Feed your Mind
Commit to start feeding your mind, the way you
feed your body. Feed it with all the great ideas, lessons and wonderful
knowledge there is. Keep growing your knowledge, improving your skills and
abilities and refining your philosophy and your life will unfold, filled with
happiness, grace, meaning, distinction and pleasure.
