How to Become a Lifelong Learner

1. START WITH YOUR ATTITUDE

Lifelong learning begins with a heart that desires changes, wisdom and application.

2. ASK QUESTIONS

Learners ask good questions. They possess an insatiable curiosity- a longing to know, discover, and inquire.

3. join Others

Collaborative learning- in classes, small groups, with friends and colleagues- allows us to benefit from diverse perspectives and approaches.

4. CHECK OUT THE OTHER SIDE.

Take time to examine and understand another point of view, even if it radically contradicts yours.

5. READ BROADLY

Include a diversity of books, authors, and topics.

6. KEEP A JOURNAL

Recording what we learn captures our growth in wisdom.

7. EXPERIMENT

Try new approaches and ideas. Age does not affect your ability to learn.

8. APPLY WHAT YOU KNOW

Out depth of understanding is often directly related to our ability to apply what we’ve learned. Application takes knowledge from the head to the heart.
