Radiate the Purity of Knowledge Through Continuous Learning

One morning, after completing my daily routine, I sat down to write an outline for my upcoming article when suddenly my nephew arrived at my home. I aimed to focus solely on crafting a creative outline to deliver the best piece for our publication. While I was into a deep thought of Individual brainstorming, my nephew came to me to asked a silly question which I answered and the same situation repeated for 5-6 times.

I came across a deep self realization when my view has been changed towards a life and it’s learnings. Eventually, I made the decision to stop working and dedicate time to answering all of his queries and I spent 4-5 hours with him to observe him and understand his perspective fully. He asked me 10-15 more questions out of curiosity about the how, why, and when of various situations, people, and things around him. First we should be aware of power of curiosity.

The Power of Curiosity: Asking the Right Questions

Now let’s take a pause here and think when was the last time you decided to understand how, why and when of the situation? We have written another article with the same topic – Ask the right questions, and you’ll get all the answers. You must go through it to find all your answers and bring such analysis to life. 

When I adopted a curious and problem solving mindset, I discovered that asking questions not only boosts knowledge but also sparks neuron growth in our brains.

To be a little conscious about..

Brain Laziness:

Let me share another observation from my own life. Three years ago, I attended a 3-4 hour knowledge session that led to a severe headache and drained my energy. I then realized that my day-to-day activities and habits were making my brain lazy, discouraging it from learning new things or putting in extra effort. Consequently, our lazy brains struggle to focus when presented with new information, causing us to subconsciously avoid challenging articles, topics, reels, or people.

Lack of Wisdom:

There is always learning, which we should seek to understand, striving to gain wisdom from every situation we encounter. There exists a significant disparity between performing a task for the first time and repeating it multiple times. Hence, it’s essential to reflect on our actions, identifying where we went wrong, and consciously avoiding the same mistakes to improve with each subsequent attempt.

Takes Time to Recollect and May Tend to Forget:

Have you ever wondered why our brain takes time to recollect things or tends to forget them easily? If our brain isn’t accustomed to actively seeking and processing information, it can lead to situations where we struggle to recall important details such as names or specific situations. Additionally, we may forget things because we’ve stopped asking the right questions to stimulate our brain’s retrieval processes. Therefore, it’s important for us to refrain from relying solely on internet searches and instead engage in independent inquiry and critical thinking.

Learning Becomes a Big Tragedy:

As mentioned earlier, if our brain is not habitual to learning, we face difficulties when attempting to grasp something new. It requires additional effort to absorb and comprehend information, as our brains must create new neural pathways and patterns to accommodate unfamiliar knowledge.

Now that we have discussed the consequences of not maintaining a learning or curious mindset, let’s move on to discussing some practical tips to avoid falling into the ignorance trap. 

Let’s begin…

A Child Like Mindset:

We should actively ask questions about everything that happens around us. However, it’s crucial to avoid applying logic when it’s unnecessary and avoid bombarding others with unnecessary questions. This approach will bring curiosity and help us remain present in the moment.

Here are some things that can bring curiosity into our lives:

1. First and foremost, bring curiosity and be ready to learn anything that will contribute to gaining more knowledge.
2. Ask meaningful questions to your mind. While it may seem simplistic, I always try this technique to understand what is happening around me and how my mind is processing it.
3. Keep hunger to find answers to all the “Wh” questions (What, When, How) about everything you face.

A Conscious Learning:

I recommend incorporating intentional learning into your daily routine, just like we regularly practice important tasks. This type of learning acts as exercise for our brain.

Here are some simple ways to do this:

1. Take online courses. You can find free ones that are worth your time. Blocking out time on your calendar will ensure you make time for it, despite your daily schedule.
2. Read at least one informative article every day. Choose a topic you enjoy. If you’re interested in life philosophy or spiritual science, you can visit LifeSutrasKet for articles on these subjects.
3. Form your own group or league with friends to discuss new things you’ve learned.
4. Set goals to learn a new skill, language, or take a course on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis.

Pinch of Information in Knowledge:

Yes, that’s correct. Let’s start by understanding the difference between Knowledge and Information. According to the Britannica Dictionary, “Knowledge is what you learn from experience or education, like awareness, understanding, or skills. Information, on the other hand, is just the facts or details about a subject.”

Now, here are some simple steps to follow:

1. Pay attention to the details of anything you read, hear, or discuss. Dive deeper into topics to satisfy your curiosity and learn more.
2. Try explaining things to others. When we talk about what we know, our brain organizes the information we already have, helping us understand better and remember longer. Explaining things to others also helps us refine our understanding.
3. Keep updating your knowledge regularly. This will not only enhance your understanding but also broaden your perspectives on different subjects.
4. Try to remember important numbers or names of people, things, or places. This will help you retain information better and recall it when needed.

Brainstorming Activities will help You Bring Wisdom:

Start brainstorming with yourself. Begin by identifying your top five problems and select the most significant one to address. This approach offers two benefits: firstly, it primes your brain to automatically tackle any future challenges it encounters, and secondly, it helps you overcome mental barriers by actively addressing them.

Here are some additional activities to consider:

1. Engage with experts to discuss problems and brainstorm solutions.
2. Play brainstorming games such as Chess or Sudoku to stimulate creative thinking.
3. Incorporate math problem-solving into your daily routine to exercise your analytical skills.
4. Spend time with people who enjoy discussing topics related to knowledge, trends, and numbers.

Read, Read and Read:

Reading has various psychological benefits for our minds. Therefore, we should try to read whenever we have some free time. Since we all lead busy lives, we shouldn’t wait for spare moments to read a book. Instead, we should actively search for reading material that interests us and read it to expand our knowledge. Reading helps our minds learn new words and gather information.

1. To make reading a habit, it’s important to find a genre that we enjoy.
2. We can start by reading storybooks or comics and then progress to non-fiction books that pique our interest.
3. It’s beneficial to set a daily goal for reading and stick to it by reading a minimum number of pages each day.

We should nurture a curious mindset and continuously seek  knowledge that can greatly benefit our personal growth and mental well-being. By grabbing learning opportunities, engaging in critical thinking, and staying open to new experiences, we empower ourselves to be best in an ever-evolving world. The most crucial aspect is to gain the right kind of knowledge from the right kind of people; choose your circle wisely.

“Look back at the fortune, you left behind”

Before starting with this article, I want you to take a pause and think about your daily routine. I want you to keep a qualitative approach to your life. Wait, don’t get confused; just think about the things you do from the time you wake up till the time you sleep. The things you face on a daily basis, the environment, or the people you be with—everything. Also, you will think about the lifestyle your parents or grandparents used to live and try to find a difference between the lifestyles.

I bet you everything has changed in the past 30-40 years. Let’s talk about the major lifestyle changes we encountered. Our parents were struggling or were creating the lifestyle we live now. So, we are living a stable lifestyle from all perspectives. Obviously, we are all also struggling with our own battles, but when we consider our lifestyle, we are living a better lifestyle as compared with our parents.

The second major difference is that education is easily available right now, and our parents are hardly completing their graduations. There are exceptions, but still, they used to struggle a lot to complete their studies. But in our generation, the first priority for a child is to complete high school. 

The third major difference is that our parents did not have big TVs at home, OTT Media service subscriptions, Wi-Fi connections, mobile phones, or laptops at home. Almost all of us have these facilities. 

Now that we understand the differences in our lifestyles, we may conclude that we live a much better lifestyle than our parents. For eg: If I am craving a special cuisine, I can order it online or If I want to buy a new phone, laptop, or anything else, I can buy it directly. I don’t need to wait for the weekend or save money to buy it next quarter. 

Now, the question we need to answer is Are we really happy or satisfied after having all the facilities or a better life than the previous generation? Are we really enjoying our lives? Do we live life to the fullest? The question is really worth thinking about—finding the answer and the reason behind it.

Have you ever wondered why we are not satisfied or happy even after having all the things a life requires? 

Let’s discuss this:

Patience cultivates strength and wisdom:

I think getting everything done easily has made us impatient. We have lost one of the most important qualities of life, which is patience. We easily get frustrated or angry when something is not done on time.

If we fail the first time or twice, we give up. And, unfortunately, if anything takes longer, the result will be perfection. You can observe the things around you. 

We should always challenge ourselves to increase our patience. Don’t try to be in rush if you can wait for the things to happen. Always keep control of not initiating any kind of argument or fight, this will also increase your level of patience in life.

Consistency breeds success over time:

Another thing our generation needs to focus on is consistency. If you are doing something on a daily basis for a long period of time, you are already a master at it. So, if you want something to be better, try doing it on a daily basis.

Consistency is the most important factor in success. As we get better day-by-day if we practice it daily. You may fail once, twice, or more than that, but the final result is fruitful.

Allow yourself to fail but give yourself enough time to be consistent. Try to consciously do something consistently like adding exercise or running on a daily basis.

A thorough review enhances overall understanding:

We all have some thoughts, dreams, or goals, but why is it difficult to achieve anything in life? The most crucial thing to do to bring anything to a successful conclusion is to review it. The bitter truth is that success takes time; overnight success is a myth. And most of us do not follow what we decide and change either our routes or destinations, which has a big impact on our lives. It’s not always about goals or dreams; it’s about life. So we should keep the habit of reviewing everything in life. We should be aware of our own habits, the food we eat, our work, our knowledge, and everything else. We should review, and make changes accordingly. Slowly, you will develop discipline and achieve everything you wish for. 

Keep a weekly, Monthly or quarterly review of everything. Your each goal should be written on a paper and reviewed it in order to make necessary changes and achieve it.

Kindness spreads warmth and connection:

Another important factor our generation has lost is kindness. We are all so frustrated with our own lives, we are not able to give. We all keep fighting to get more in life, but the forgotten fact is that we only get something when we start giving it. Showing love and compassion towards everyone will only bring more positivity into your life. After all, the only thing that creates a better self within is how you treat others.

Being kind for no reason will help you to achieve this. Keep your mind free. Spread as much as love and kindness you can. Be nice for no reason, this will refresh your mood.

So these are some of the things we should never forget, even if we get everything in life. We’re eager to learn about your life’s journey. For more insightful content, click on “stay connected” and explore similar topics.
