What lessons have you learned recently and how do you plan to invest that knowledge?
Whenever I encounter a lesson, on either side of the ledger, I always look for the learning. That way, even a bad or negative experience is of value to me. The ability to experience, learn, adjust and move on is central to all human development. It’s what allows us to progress. It’s a valid and valuable part of our life journey.
Whatever your experiences have been recently, why not take some time out to examine what the learning is? Here are a few questions, which I use when evaluating my daily experiences:
- What can I do next time, to make things better?
- Was this a repeat problem and if so, why is it still happening?
- Is this happening because I need to improve my knowledge in a particular area and if so, who has the answers I need?
- Who can I share my lesson with, so they can avoid making the same mistake?
- If the experience was negative, how can I ensure that this doesn’t happen again?
- If the experience was positive, how can I recreate it?
Those of us who continue to repeat the errors of the past, are destined to make little real progress. As they say; “if you keep on doing what you have always done, you will keep on getting what you have always got.”
In short: Evaluate. Learn. Adjust. Move on.
