Learning starts with you. It starts with the world within you. Because if you don’t know the world within you, then the world without will be impossible to explore. If you want to do anything, always start with yourself. Because if your inner world is not happy with your plan, it is not going to work. It won’t work.

“Learning proceeds until death and only then does it stop… its purpose cannot be given up for even a moment. To pursue it is to be human, to give it up to be a beast.”- Xun Zi

More importantly, learning brings out the best in all of us. It reveals the hidden secrets of life to all of us. Learning brings the world together. That is why when you really want to know people, try to learn everything about them. Because they are coming from somewhere. They are bringing something unique with them. They have what you are looking for. They can change your life. And you can make them better people. But to do that, you must not judge them. Instead of judging people, learn everything about their struggles. They are real.

We need someone who embraces us for our strengths and struggles

“When we’re looking for compassion, we need someone who is deeply rooted, able to bend, and, most of all, we need someone who embraces us for our strengths and struggles. We need to honor our struggles by sharing it with someone who has earned the right to hear it. When we’re looking for compassion, it’s about connecting with the right person at the right time and the right issue.”- The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are

The energy that exists between people

“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”- The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be Embrace Who You Are

We can only love others as much as we love ourselves

“We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness, and affection. Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them- we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.”- The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be Embrace Who You Are
