Remember and Use

This is a foundational principle to education. We need to remember what we have learned. We need to use what we have learned. To remember is not enough for in the end action is what builds relationship and habit. We need to use what we have learned in a corrective manner.

Of course in doing anything we have used what we have learned. But there are instances where we remember one thing, but use something else, when the one thing was the right thing. Remember and use. What is it that I want to remember? The fundamental truths that build character, relationship, and independence from the trappings of this world.

When I remember these things I then need to use them. I need to remember to see how they apply to my everyday life to the actions that we all take every day: going to work, talking to people, reacting to our emotions. I see that many of the missed opportunities in my life were due to not using the truths. Missed opportunities were related to not using or even in some cases not even knowing how to use the truths.

Only I can remember for myself. And only I can “use” for myself. In educating myself and those around me, I must remember and use. I learning from others, I must remember and use. I must do this to the point where I see remember and use as the foundation and starting point for the realization of a bigger dream. They are skeletal concepts upon which I can build that which I have been given to build.
