A student of life

In the first phase of life, we all start as students.

But as life takes over, we become part-time students.

One thing I’ve noticed about people who are doing well in life, is that they are all students- irrespective of their age.

They choose something outside their usual area of work and become students of that. An unconscious process of learning while having fun.

Almost like an effortless effort.

For some, this means exploring skills far from their comfort zones. For others, learning isn’t from a person or subject but from an activity. They become students of running, dancing, or a sport.

A part of being a student is about surrendering to the process and embracing a beginner’s mindset. It’s a humbling journey when everything seems new and foreign. You see the world with fresh eyes.

So, I would love to know what you are a student of.
