Student of Life

When you are on a path of self-learning, you soon come to realize that the more you learn, the more there is to learn. While we embark on the journey of leaving our mark in the world (in small or big doses) there is plenty of learning to be done externally and internally.

Aa child, I developed a curiosity for the world and a desire to understand more of it. When I found an answer to a question, I ended up with more questions that needed further answering. Even now, I have many questions yet to be answered (the answers to some of which might not even be satisfactory in this lifetime).

While learning more about the world we live in, I began to be interested in knowing more about the people that live in this world. People's unique stories fascinated me and I developed a curiosity to learn more, dig deeper, understand the troubled minds of people, and one day be able to help them.

This curiosity about the world and about people became a part of my identity, impacting the way I live my life and see the world.

These past 5 years or so, I learned to be more curious about myself. My story. My habits. My growth. My failures. My difficulties.

I realized that I too was part of this world, and by learning more about me, I was learning more about this world. Because I exist, the world exists to me. If I did not exist, there would be nothing to exist for me.... because I just would not be.

Isn't it difficult to comprehend our nonexistence? But at some point, I had a beginning, just like you. I cannot possibly know anyone else better than I can know and understand myself. Because my story has me as the main character.

Because in my story, I have been with me since the moment awareness came to me.

The psychoanalysis of myself began to take a new form. I have been on this journey for a while and yet I regularly discover new stuff to work on. And sometimes, old wounds come by to say hello, reminding me that there are more lessons to be learned.

As a teenager, I had written a short Bio for myself, describing myself as a student of life. This statement has been true my whole life. While many topped the world of beauty, sports, education, and music, as a student of life, I hoped to rank the life module higher instead.

Unfortunately, life is very challenging to consistently do well in. Some days, we do well and some days, we really don't.

I believe we are often given challenges in life that matches our ability to handle them though we may not see them as such. And for many of the challenges that seem too hard to handle, there are tools available to help us tackle them too.

I find life coaching to be one of those tools. It has certainly helped me and countless others. I hope it serves you too.
