Learn to learn

We love learning in my household.

We’re planning to build a small library into our home once we clear the room out planned for it, and carve some time to carve some wood to make it how we envision it.

But it’s not just books (though there are a lot of books).

There is also comics. Videos. Little toys that remind us of lessons learned. Pictures we’ve drawn. Photos we’ve taken.

Learning is a vibrant, exciting, fulfilling-for-its-own-sake passtime. Something to pursue before we even know we might need to know the things we’ll learn, because who knows what we may discover along the way.

Didn’t always feel this way. I had to learn to learn by practicing, finding my tastes, and leaning into them with curiosity.

Learning to learn — your way — will be an intensely rewarding, never-ending gift to your future self, if you make the time for it.
