Growing up, people would always say "You learn something new each day.". Well; I am learning that it is true. The word New, means "lately coming into knowledge, fresh or unused, unaccustomed, or recently/lately". So it doesn't necessarily mean that you have never before heard something but that it has now finally become knowledge. And the word Learn means “to gain by experience, to become informed of or acquainted with". So really the new thing I/we learn is just some fresh information. Or it can also be something that we are unaccustomed to that we gain by experience. I don't believe that when you hear something you learn it. You learn it once you can apply it physically or mentally. You learn it once you understand it. I also believe that everything happens for a reason, and that we come to realize things on certain days for a reason. So everyday I will be sharing with you the new thing that I learn or realize, hoping that you can learn from it as I did.

Feel free to comment or even post about your own realization or new thing that was learned.

The Source

My brother had a football game tonight but I also had to babysit. He was going to be running back and I didn't want to miss it, so I frantically was trying to figure out how to go to his game but still take care of the kids I was watching. I was contemplating everything I could, I even called my mom to try and figure things out and got even more frustrated when I didn't hear things I liked. Finally I called up my brother and asked how important this game was and once he had told me that this game wasn't a big deal; I felt fine to watch the kids. So whenever this is a situation or problem you have, don't try to think of ways to go about it without even knowing what it entails. Go to the situation, go to the source and see what you should do from there, otherwise things will just be difficult.
