When was the last time you took a self-improvement course?

When was the last time you took time to learn and grow?

In the recent past I took the first part of a 6-day course. It was 9 hours per day for 3 consecutive days. For me it was a wonderful experience. It was wonderful for me because I had many learning experiences.

Why did I decide to take this course? It had occurred to me that recently I’ve been coasting. That meaning I’ve not applied myself as much as I could have. This course has helped to change my opinion on that. But what I really enjoyed was the learning with others.

I think you would agree there are times in our lives when we become isolated from others. We are going about our daily activities almost oblivious to those we are with. We forget how much they contribute to our life.

So where am I going with this? Yes I took a course to improve myself, but just maybe I learned a more important thing – that is about paying more attention to those around me.

What can you do today to appreciate those around you?
