Lesson from Lebron

Maybe you already live BDL everyday, you're "Bout a Different Life"  You're not AVERAGE; you're awesome.  You love every aspect of your life.  Everything runs smoothly like the gears of those expensive automatic movement watches.  One of the things you probably realize is the value of continuing to learn, you probably have a desire to learn, a dream of being the best there is in your field and you are constantly a student.

Maybe you think you wasted much of your school years, you may regret the effort you put in to your studies. Throughout our time in school we often think we know so much more than we actually do. We weren't real interested in soaking in all the knowledge that was being thrown our way.  This was just a base of knowledge to propel you into greatness, but the wealthiest, most successful people didn't stop learning after high school or college or even after their first million.  The most successful people continue to push themselves to learn throughout their lives.

There's video of Lebron James, king James already at this point, spending time in the off-season with Hakeem Olajuwon.  Why do this when you're already a king?  Seems like a waste of time to me, I can think of about a million things I would prefer if I was a king.  Don't worry, I won't list them all here.  James saw a hole in his game, he wanted to continue learning.  So he went to a guy he thought knew more than he did in that particular area.

Greatness is very rarely inherited or genetic, it is most often taught and learned.  You may have a dream to change some area of your life, to be better at something.  Remember step one is to learn, find out who does it well and find out what they know, what can you learn from them.  There's always more to learn, more to experience, there's a Narrow Gate and along the road there is much to learn.
