There is so much to learn.

BUT THAT IS THE NATURE OF ALL THINGS. THERE IS ALWAYS SO MUCH TO LEARN.

The students standing on the mat, standing in front of their instructor. They’re in their gear, wondering if they’re ready. They need to be dedicated. They face challenges with every lesson, with every moment. What is new? What is difficult? What is the right way?

They learn. They learn that the answers are challenging in their own right. They lead to more questions. More challenges. More excitement. More change. They lead to the constant reminder that there is always more. For anyone. It’s scary. For the dedicated… it’s fun.

Of course learning is scary. That’s the point of it all. To challenge yourself. To challenge what you know. What you think you know. What you always knew, only to have it all destroyed and rebuilt with each lesson learned. With every step of the journey, you find out you knew nothing. Nothing compared to what’s ahead. And what’s ahead requires more challenge. More dedication. And it always will. But that’s okay/ Standing in front of their instructor, the student is ready. Ready and eager for challenge. For Change. They’re dedicated.

It’s fun to be dedicated. To be scared, and to persevere. To find those answers. To find the new questions. To learn!

There is so much to learn.

But that is the nature of all things. There is always so much to learn.
