But what if learning was so interesting, so enjoyable, that you couldn't wait to get to it?
What if when you woke up in the morning you felt a sense of excitement because the possibility of real breakthroughs in learning and development were possible? What if learning wasn't seen as something where there is an end to it like with the attitude of "get it over with" but rather something that is always on going? What if each moment presented an opportunity to learn, grow, and enjoy the hell out if it?
This is my dog Rilo who couldn't be happier in this picture, completely covered in mud. He absolutely loves it! I use to hate when he would get in these things because cleaning him off was such a chore but when circumstances changed in my life and I wasn't able to spend much time with him anymore, there was a shift in my point of view. Now when we get the chance to go to the dog park I embrace his joy more than ever, and you can't see it in the picture but on the other side of the camera I was smiling just as much as he was. If we hadn't driven there I would have probably gotten in with him!
The lessons drawn from this story are many but clearly it's possible to get dirty and love it. All joy takes is your willingness to experience it and the same goes for learning and developing.
Recreate the business of your learning & developing by making it fascinating, just like a giant mud hole at a dog park is to my dog Rilo, then see what happens...
Happy Holidays,
In appreciation,
