Your own experience is the best learning

The experience itself is the best way to learn, since, otherwise, it would not be our learning, but that of those people who lived the experience. Only through experiences, accepting mistakes and failures, can we draw our own conclusions to move forward.

Learning is moving forward and growing, without anything or anyone stopping us., overcoming difficulties and obstacles, reflecting on failures and overcoming them. Living is experimenting and this is part of our human essence, and our instinct of curiosity.

Nobody is born learned

We could say that life is a learning path and that, therefore, the only way to overcome it is to live. We will never learn through the experience of others, despite their advice, their insistence, and their educational guidance.

It is true that at birth we depend on adults to survive, although it is also true that We instinctively and impulsively seek to have our own experiences to learn and, therefore, to grow. In this way, there is also a personal and unique part during the development of the individual.

Meaningful learning and discovery learning

Discovery learning is that which is developed by discovering the world for oneself and always based on one’s own experience. On the other hand, Meaningful learning is that which is acquired on the basis of knowledge already acquired, since what is new takes on meaning and meaning when related to the knowledge that we already have.

For this, To learn, we have to explore, discover, fail and succeed. That is, on many occasions, we will learn by trial and error until we find the path to success. From a very young age we learn more from our own experiences than from adult advice.

Given that By living our own experience, we internalize it in a meaningful and profound way. Thus, although this takes us more time and effort, without a doubt, we will keep it throughout our lives, since most of these learnings will remain in our memory accompanied by their respective emotional imprint.

I have the right to be wrong

It is important to accept that, without a doubt, we will make mistakes, fail and err. But it’s the only way forward and to get where we want. We have the right to make mistakes, because we are not perfect, and this is not a failure, but part of life’s learning.

If we want to learn, evolve and improve ourselves, without a doubt, we are going to fail. However, Getting up and moving forward makes us stronger, braver and wiser. It gives us a collection of reasons to be proud of.

Learning path

If we want to go further and venture down some of the paths that life presents us, it is necessary to make decisions and evaluate the results. On some occasions, they will be right and on others, however, we will have been wrong and, despite that, the best path is always the experience and learning that we are left with. If we don’t walk, we are blocked and we don’t evolve.

Blaming ourselves for having failed is not accepting our human condition and losing the opportunity to continue learning and moving forward. We could say that the more we make mistakes, the more we are living.

The experience of the years

Turning years is collecting experiences and learnings lived. Otherwise, the years would be empty, and we could say that they have passed for us, but we will not have squeezed out of them everything that they could have given us.

The years that go by are a great opportunity to become more and more aware of what we want and how to achieve it, To do this, in addition to accumulating years, we will accumulate learning experiences, some with mistakes and others with successes.

Although it hurts to fall, getting up strengthens us

To learn, then, is to strengthen ourselves after failures, get up after falling and get back together even when making mistakes hurts us. Life is growth, a path to follow and, therefore, strengthening. Thus, the best way to achieve this is by living different and multiple experiences of your own, without fear of the result, with a view to growing, advancing and moving forward.

It is inevitable to fall and we do it from a young age, when we want to learn to walk, ride a bicycle, skate, etc. It is inevitable to fail when we want to move forward, achieve our projects, go further or change something that doesn’t make us happy. However, It is wonderful to learn and discover our capabilities.

They told me I wasn’t able to climb, I greeted them from the top

On many occasions we allow ourselves to be influenced by the opinions of others. In our attempts to achieve our own successes we hear phrases like: “I don’t think you can do it”, “it’s very difficult”, “are you sure?”. These types of comments, although they are often made out of affection, They tend to condition us and make us doubt our own abilities..

On most occasions, the people who advise us do so from their own point of view. They reflect on us what they believe they would not be able to do.. This way, they think we don’t either. We only have to listen to the famous phrase of “if I were you…”. The point is that everyone must follow their own path and stumble as many times as necessary.
