Many people go to college and pay a price—whether it’s money, time, or sweat—to learn. Some love school so much they keep earning degrees in all kinds of subjects, always chasing that next bit of knowledge.
I was fortunate to attend college for one year. The rest of what I know has come from life itself—my own adventures, mistakes, and lessons. I haven’t paid much money for most of it, but I’ve definitely paid in other ways—emotionally, physically, and mentally. The cool thing about knowledge is that no one can ever take it away from you. Sure, I forget stuff sometimes, and I’ve had to re-learn things over and over until they stick.
I love how each of us has our own passions. We’re all free to dive into the subjects that excite us, and I believe the world is better because of that diversity. I might not care how TV or radio work—I just want them to keep doing their thing! But I do get fired up about psychology, understanding why people do what they do, and all things health—food, exercise, play, and living well. Sometimes I feel like I don’t have enough hours in the day to learn everything I want to. I’ve read hundreds of books, asked questions, and studied as much as I can.
And here’s a fun fact: we all have the same amount of time—24 hours every single day. It’s up to us how we spend it. So, what will you choose to do with your time? What new knowledge are you dreaming of gaining? I’m grateful for everything I’ve learned so far on this journey, and I hope I get to keep learning for many more years.
