“I haven’t read a book since I was in high school.” ~ Someone on a poor growth trajectory
It’s amazing how much information we have available to help us learn new things. What’s equally amazing are all the different ways we have to consume this information. No matter what topic you’re interested in, you can easily access information, as well as people, who can help you learn more about it. This reality is a tremendous blessing for anyone interested in personal growth and life-long learning.
Consider a topic you’d like to learn more about. Now consider all the ways you can learn more about that topic, such as:
- Books
- Podcasts
- Webinars
- Websites
- Audio books
- Seminars
- Classes
- Computer-based learning
- Meetups
- Lectures
- Magazines
- Coaches and instructors
- Self-study courses
- People already doing what you want to learn
I don’t know about you, but I find this encouraging, from a personal growth perspective. No matter what I want to learn, I can easily find content on the topic in a format that works for me. Let that sink in for a minute.
If you think you don’t have time to read a book then listen to an audio book. If you need more in depth explanation or assistance, you can hire a coach or instructor. Whatever content you want to consume, there’s a medium to consume it that’s just right for you.
You simply have to avail yourself to it.
