Today is International Day of Education. What a great thing to celebrate!
There is education, learning and growing at our fingertips wherever we look.
In books or online. In nature. In friendships and family. In leadership and teamwork.
Education isn’t just learning facts, theories and figures. It’s also about learning from feelings and emotions, responses or reactions, intuition, our bodies.
We carry a wealth of knowledge and wisdom within us. Much of the time it stays buried, ignored or unknown.
It takes a curious mind, slowing down, and sensing and listening deeply to hear what our body has to teach us.
A bit like curling up with a good book, a warm blanket and a cup of something hot.
A garden grows if you nurture it, care for it, and give it what it needs.
We’re no different.
What is it you want to learn on this International Day of Education?
Something about the world? Something about yourself? Something about others?
For me, education gives us choices. And our choices educate us further.
I wish you a day filled with rich education.
