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.

Clutch and Go

So the Maxima I had been driving broke down and is now all fixed up which is very handy. It is a standard and it has been fun getting back into the swing of driving it. I'll admit that when ever I don't shift in time or give it too much gas I get aggravated after a while, but I'm getting a lot better. As I was driving home I was thinking about some stuff in my life that is bothersome and shouldn't be. I came up to a stop sign  and as I started to go I didn't let the clutch out enough and wasn't giving it enough gas so it was a super slow and some what delayed start that was a little frustrating. At the next stop sign I tried to figure out how to fix the problem. I gave it more gas and let go of the clutch a little sooner and the car began to go smoother than before. As I was doing this I was still thinking about things and what I came to realize is that I need to learn to let go of things better, just like the clutch. If I would just let go sooner and press the gas more I would be able to drive smoother. So once I start to let go of things I can begin to have fun and complete things in my life and go about it more happily. I think that if we just try to accept that we need to let go of things, or let things not bother us anymore we will be able to enjoy things more. We need to remember that God will be next to us when ever we need help driving through tough times.
