Forever ago I heard of a study that compared “affluent” children with “disadvantaged” children. What was the difference? Why did “affluent” children do better in school? Why were they more adaptive? What did “affluent” even mean? The findings showed that children that grew up in “affluent” households had three advantages that set them apart from children considered “disadvantaged”, meaning they did not have access to these assets. The “advantages” being: 1) access to educational stimuli such as books, puzzles, blocks, computers, etc. 2) access to enrichment activities where a child could excel outside of school such as sports, music, art, drama, etc 3) access to mentors, meaning a person they could identify that had success in doing something the child holds as valuable.
I have come to find that most things that are best for children are indeed best for adults as well. The human condition is after all, the human condition. And learning occurs throughout our lifetime. So, whatever it is you want to do, here are the building blocks. 1) Read about it. Research it. Talk to others about it. 2) Practice. Practice. Practice. 3) Find a mentor, living or dead, and acknowledge how they became who they are. Learn from them. If they can do it, you can too.
Leaning in to the idea that whatever you are calling in, is calling to you makes ideas and thoughts of doing new things less scary. It is another way of saying, “Have Faith”. Faith in the universe and faith in yourself. Believe in the Universal Law of Attraction, what you focus on grows. So, what are you learning? How are you practicing? Who is a mentor to you? What are you calling into your life? How are you writing your own story?
