Eyes as big as saucers?

Liara Covert in Education

To feel reborn in a place is a kind of re-education. You may take in your surroundings and notice details that you had missed before.  What is it that would prompt you to see life differently? If someone told you to change or that you could change, would your eyes grow as big as saucers?

Some people suddenly realize there must be more to what they had seen and done without the need for any further travel.  They describe this as a kind of awakening or revelation about details they've always known. They tell themselves they always have more to learn and still value the evolving state of their perception. As long as your mind is open, you're free to embrace learning.

What is it that would cause you to examine what you learn and how in more depth? It has been said that stepping back and increasing objectivity raises awareness and redefines education.  Consider how your own mind may limit your sense of potential before you interact in schools and learn about opportunities to perform different social roles. Were you ever told you had to follow a particular path? Did you ever feel stifled and ready to undertake something new but held back?

In order to continue raising your awareness, take time to realize societies and structures tell you what they think you should know, what they desire you believe, who they think you should be and how they think you should live. It's up to you to learn to sift through it to define your truth.
