Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Living to Learn

A posture of learning will not lead to disappointment.

To learn is to constantly discover.

To discover is to live in wonder.

To wonder is to find joy and beauty.

When you live to learn, you choose to let go of control and open your hands to life.

Letting go of control means you don’t get to choose pace, circumstances, results, BUT if you choose to learn, you turn the uncontrollables into seeds that will grow into the wildflowers of your story.

Learning and perfection cannot live together.

Learning and control cannot live together.

Learning and growth, learning and love live together.

Learnings means never reaching a solid finish line and because you won’t reach it, you are not racing to it. Instead, you take your time, take in the view and your eyes are not on a distant prize, but on the continuous journey which is a constant discovery of who you are.
