Persistance

Have you ever said to yourself one day I will be a better (fill in the blank)? I think like that too. I snapped this picture in March when my family and I went to Disney World, I love It’s a small world. I have loved it ever since I was a kid. I love the color, sights, and sounds of that ride. I am amazed at every single detail that went into this ride. Can you imagine Walt Disney thinking up all these rides and what was in them? I am sure he had help to make them come to life. It is through other people that we usually have success. Regardless these little Hawaiian dancers persist in what they are doing every single day the ride is open. That can be like us too. Many years ago somebody told me that in order to truly learn something you have to relate it to something that you know well so that it becomes easier to understand. That is of course if visualizing it is not working for you. When I am trying to learn something that is what I try to do. As I have come to more knowledge of the way things work because I persist in learning this way it opens my mind to many different things. I also don’t learn in a linear fashion, meaning I never relate it to just one thing, I relate it to many things. Plus I can draw from those things to teach others. As I persist at learning difficult things the process becomes easy for me. Not that math will ever be an easy thing I can become better at it by persisting and not shutting my brain into anger, fear or dread. Once you turn to negativity in learning whatever it is you will not learn it at all. Learning only happens when we think positively and persist not when we close it down for the day. Imagine that you are given the power to learn something but you have to persist at it to make that happen. To learn something you are given the power to do it.
