@Blair, as always great thoughts. Observing what we do with learning, where we place our intention and focus is indeed worth its observation in gold. I love your compounding idea, I think that makes a lot of sense.
I too believe that we are spreading ourselves too thin, coming from ‘an angst’ to miss out, instead of trusting our heart to guide us with a steadfastness that will pay off a much higher dividend.
And I too believe that the current time complaint is totally made up, if we only could stop wasting it on pursuing unfocused activities.

Yes, you have put in many more hours than 10,000 Wilma. If we take our current age then imagine the hours there are from birth until now. Clocking up the hours learned from an infant stage one would think that we would all be wise little Dalai Lama’s by age 30.

But interestingly enough, regardless of the hours spent, why is it many of us human beings still have the huge life tantrums at 65 as we did at 2? Well at least they appear huge at the time, most of which are not worth worrying about on a larger life scale. Throwing paddies like children over spilt milk is one thing most people don’t want to admit to doing. And yet we may have 85 years or even 115 years of hours clocked up if we lucky. So whats going on?

I guess many of us within this conversation on this blog are AIMING in our learning. I thought about it and said, “Well Blair you could you could fire yours guns so to speak in every direction until 100 years old.” What would I learn? Well of course I would learn! But it may be limited and sporadic. Through firing in every direction I may learn to fill up my plate too much in life. I may learn to panic that I cannot get everything done at once. I may learn to multi task, (being a bloke I am still working on that.) I may learn impatience and overwhelm and a multitude of other things.

Or we could simply aim at what matters and hold ourselves accountable. Do we choose to learn the easy way or another way? Do we drift or do we paddle?

I think though Wilma, (and I maybe be incorrect) that through focusing our learning we compound our learning too. Therefore in comparison to lazy learning the hours put in are much higher without sacrificing our precious years in the process.

I sing with the love in the room….especially yours and Johns….and Wilma..??…come closer…yes i am going to whisper…today my 10,000 hours must have completed as i had a session with somebody who heard me ..truly heard me without my having to explain, validate and justfiy and is going to support me to create this life in an abundant fashion….

and my last workshop at the University somebody fed back…thankyou for being the Mother Theresa of Joy….prompted no doubt by my new way of preparing myself for the audience..the affirmation goes like this….

Joy is my goal
This lifetime has inspired my desire
I have the ability to inspire a reduction in resistance
I know the potential wellbeing of others
I can sooth the resistance in others
I know how to love people as they are
I am at peace with where I am…lol…well almost!!…:)
I will allow eagerness to replace impatience
I delight knowing my impatience is just an indication of being alive
I am in eager anticipation of the time quotient available to be spent on a joyful life
The Universe cannot tell the difference between whether anything is real or not
The audience will summon from me what they want and I will find the words to help them hear it
I am the catalyst to get them to open to receiving

i am yours in forward motion…..love you heaps…Pat
