Why Do I Learn? — The Old Me vs The Evolving Me
There is one question that landed in my heart recently…
A simple question, but it pierced through layers of my past:
“Why do I learn?”
At first, I laughed.
Then I paused.
Then I realised… this question is not simple at all.
It is the key to understanding how much I’ve changed.
🌱 The Old Me Learnt for Survival
If I’m brutally honest, the younger version of me learned because she wanted to feel “educated.”
Like many of us growing up in the old-school Asian household, knowledge was the only currency to feel safe, respected, accepted.
I learned so people would take me seriously.
I learned so I wouldn’t feel small.
I learned so I didn’t get left behind.
That version of me studied from fear —
fear of being judged,
fear of being invisible,
fear of being “not enough.”
And I honour her.
She did her best.
🌿 The Evolving Me Learns for Freedom
Today… I learn for a completely different reason.
I learn because I’m curious.
I learn because I enjoy independence.
I learn because every new insight helps me understand myself better.
And surprisingly… it also makes my live sessions so much easier, because everything I share comes from my own journey — not theory.
Now I learn because it feels natural.
Because growth feels light.
Because discovering myself is deliciously exciting.
No pressure.
No proving.
Just expansion.
🌾 Learning Has Become My Way of Meeting Myself
The more I evolve, the more I realise something powerful:
Learning is not something I ‘do’.
Learning is how I become.
Every insight opens a new doorway in my mind.
Every experience teaches me a new version of myself.
Every curiosity brings me closer to who I’m meant to be.
And suddenly…
learning is no longer a burden —
it’s my freedom.
🌙 My Anchor Today Is Not a Place
For a long time, I thought anchoring myself meant staying still.
But now, I know:
My anchor is not a place.
My anchor is my purpose.
I can roam, explore, get bored, move on, fall in love with new things —
and it’s all okay.
Because no matter where I wander, I always return to the mission my soul signed for:
to grow, to understand, to awaken my worth — and help others awaken theirs.
🌸 If you are reading this… here’s my invitation
Ask yourself gently:
“Why do you learn?”
Not the old reason.
Not the past you.
Not the reason you were trained to believe.
But the reason your soul whispers today.
Maybe… like me,
you’ll realise you’re not learning to impress anyone.
You’re learning because your spirit is expanding.
And that, buddy,
is the most beautiful evolution of all.
