LIFE SKILLS - What should have been taught at school

If I had a dollar for every time a client, friends, colleagues say, ‘this should be taught at school’ I would be wealthy. Learning life-skills has long been overlooked by placing importance on ‘subjects’ that are never again used after school life.  And yet to thrive in the world we NEED to know how by learning the essential navigation to meet all that life throws at us.
 
We are students for life. It’s never too late to learn. And there are so many amazing tools, insights and new awareness to be gained that change the way we experience life and the everyday events.
 
We need to abolish the myth that when we become an adult we stop learning… as we never stop learning. We came here to evolve, and to do this we must embrace a path of learning and growth. One way to look at this is expressed in this quote by Scott Horton;
 
“If we think we’re green we grow. If we think we’re ripe we rot”.
 
The biggest motivator for us all should be that we need to know this stuff to guide future generations, to break family patterns, to provide the greatest possible start for all those still to come.. and to be a part of influencing a better world. Isn’t that enough to bring this to everyday as your purpose in life?
 
It’s essential if we wish to see the future generations not only survive but thrive in what may continue to be a challenging world with so much to navigate through.
 
Not only that, there are so many people struggling where it’s not necessary. And there are so many ways that this could be overcome. Relationships, work, family dynamics to people dealing with their own personal demons, feelings of inadequacy, struggles with their own sense of belonging, loneliness, disconnection and discontentment.
 
There’s often a rather heavy blanket of shame that smoothers the all-important self-help world. One that needs to be removed if we are ever to rise above the BS that we are broken or damaged if we seek help. How ridiculous… think about it, when we seek help we are looking after ourselves – isn’t that an act of self-love?!  
 
We all got short changed in education at school. We were cheated out of what are the essential subjects that will not just have us survive but thrive. That would have us know who we are, what we bring and how great we each are in how we contribute to the greater all.
