Do you find yourself struggling with changing your behavior? Real learning is hard, but keeps you from making the same mistake again.

 

I wrote this article a few months ago: Sorry, I Don't Love Learning

Have you seen this scene in the Matrix?

I mentioned the book Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell*

Practical Advice

1. Ensure that it’s something important for you to learn

  • I mentioned the book Soar With Your Strengths by Donald Clifton and Paula Nelson*

2. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable

  • “When you are tough on yourself, life is going to be infinitely easier on you.” -Zig Ziglar

3. Recognize that what you’ve been able to change your behavior on is really challenging for others

“Every single time I get on a plane I’m really glad that the plane is not being flown by someone who just always loved planes.” -A teacher quoted in Building A Better Teacher by Elizabeth Green*.
