2 Questions to Deepen Learning from Life

Category: Zen Living Written by Leo Babauta

2 Questions to Deepen Learning from Life

We usually dislike challenging situations, conflict with others, struggle with our work or habits. Struggle sucks!

But what if it were a part of the training of life?

What if every conflict, failure, difficulty, hard emotion … were exactly the lesson we needed to learn? What if every challenging person and situation were our teacher?

Every day, ask yourself two simple questions:

  1. What was my biggest challenge today?
  2. What lesson was I supposed to learn from that?

Reflect on that. Jot it down, and internalize the lesson. Commit to practicing it.

Then thank your teacher.

Zen Habits is about finding simplicity and mindfulness in the daily chaos of our lives. It’s about clearing the clutter so we can focus on what’s important, create something amazing, find happiness. My name is Leo Babauta. I live in Davis, California with my wife and six kids, where I eat vegan food, write, run, and read. Source
