Quick back story about myself and what I have learned through my journey. The more we learn the more we will grow. Through growth we are able to evolve and expand. So many people believe power comes through authority and don't realize there is power in learning. What we learn is powerful enough to re-shape our future. What we learn has enough power to determine who we are and what we will become. It's our job to constantly learn new ways, new ideas, new methodologies, new behaviors so that we can expand our minds and become our best self. There is no rule book to learning so don't get caught up in the formalities just be open to doing it.
