Live to Learn vs. Learn to Live?

10 replies
When I was washing the dishes my mind came up with the following thought: "Learn to Live or Live to Learn?"

What I mean...is it worth to learn as many things as possible before taking action or is it better to take action and then learning your lessons during your experiences?

Maybe a wise mix of both could be the most beneficial option, in my honest opinion. What's your idea about them (even related to your business)?

    I will say: Learn your self, then Learn to live and at the end Live to learn...

    The first time when you start to analyse your self is the first step you start to fix and solve all of your bugs and problems that you have. In that way you will start to build you character, by learning how to love your self enough. After you complete that task, the next phase is Learn to live. And by learning how to live you will learn how to respect and love the others.

    Now you sure that you are prepare to: Live to learn.

      I agree about "Learn your Self"... it's the real first step to take in order to change your life for the better, then the two options will unfold more "naturally".

        Even if I don't know you, I am sure that you are a person with great spiritual predispositions. Keep going, you are on the right track!

          This is a very interesting question. I agree it's a combination of both, and breaking it down in phases does make sense but I also think that they overlap. Living to learn involves learning to live and while yes, it is crucial to know yourself and read learn about life from secondhand sources, we can learn the most by just stepping out and experiencing things ourselves.

          So in essence I guess what I'm trying to say is that, in a way, learning to live is a part of living to learn.

      the secret ..is you do not have to learn to love yourself ..you have to learn how to pull out the faulty programming from the matrix ..that teaches you about self hate and the huge pile of shoulds .. that block you from happiness and self love .

      health happiness and self love are natural states of being .. only animals that live in the presence of humans .. will be unhealthy or unhappy .. outside injuries ,,

      and the animals that chose to surround humans are their to help ballance the humans they are with ..

      up to this point in many way it is quite possibly that you have learned to live wrong ..according to your nature..you are not broken ..you can improve yourself but .many of the things you may think are broken and need to be fixxed ..are things that where nailed onto you at an early age in an attempt to cover up and hide your nature ..

    the problem is both question are only part of bigger questions ..

    so it is learn to live(fill in the blank)
    and live to learn (fill in the blank )

    i have radically changed my life and my mindset of the past few years .. a lot of it by learning to live with a greater sense of intuition .. and paying attention to physical feed back..and developing a few super powers * wink wink * or i mean paying more attention to the extra senses beyond the five ..that we all have but don't normally develop .

    enlightnement is really about lightening up ,,

    and raising awareness literly requires being much more aware ..of what is the thing though .

        i can't provide anything solid sence i have done this independently ..

        but the first step to developing the extra sensory abilities and your intuition ..is to believe you have them then you can start playing with them ..

        i used to be real real shy and introverted ..now i can sence people around me and figure out when to get in converstaions ..and intuition wise .. for me i learned by cooking without recipes and most of the time my food is real tasty .. then there are the times i get sudden inspiration to cook something new ..check a few reciepies on you tube get an idea of what i want to do..and when i go buy the ingriedints ..many times i have had the main pricy ingredient be on manger special or missslables so it was far below the price it should have been ..

        as far as lightening up .. oddly enough the first step is become far less tolerant of self abusive internal dialog ..you have to learn to shut that voice up..and to tell the difference between when the voice is just pointing out a mistake you can fix and improve ..or just bitching and burrying you under a huge pile oh shoulds ..

        thats part to.. when your not abusing youself.. your are burying yourself in should .. i should eat better i should go to the gym..i should do this should have done that next time that happens i should do this ,, and on and on and on
