The Missing Curriculum - What We Learned and What We Were Not Taught

by peri

Sometimes it amazes and frustrates me how much I don't know. And
sometimes the fact that there is so much to learn inspires and
motivates me to grow. With all the studying and reading and
training I have done I am still aware of many gaps in my
education. These gaps show up in all areas of my life where I
have not reached my full potential and I know it.

I was thinking about this missing curriculum one day and how
grateful I am for the lessons I have learned outside of my
"ordinary" education. I decided to make a list of some of the
things I am enjoying learning and like to share with others who
are learning them also.

As you read through the following list you can see that to
obtain the missing curriculum you must start by admitting and
unlearning what does not work. Until you understand that there is
an entirely different approach to take the doors to the new life
that these new lessons promise will remain closed to you. When
you understand that you can reclaim the personal power to choose
freedom the doors begin to open for you.

There is no doubt that we continue to evolve in spite of
ourselves. Even if you don't consciously seek to stretch and grow
there will be plenty of opportunities to do just that. Life will
give you people, events and circumstances that will best support
you to stretch beyond your comfort zone.

Have a look at this list of the missing curriculum and celebrate
the learning you have already done. Consider what is next on your
personal list. First read what most of us have learned and then
read about what many of us have missed.

1. We have not learned to respect differences.
We were taught that to feel good we must believe that we are
"right" and others are "wrong."

2. We have not learned effective ways to manage conflicts.
We were taught to avoid confrontation, to act nice, to pretend
everything is fine even when it is not.

3. We have not learned the communication skill of "deep
listening" which gives us the ability to both hear and be heard.

We were taught to tune others out and to listen to the thoughts
inside our own heads even when we appear to be listening to
someone else.

4. We were not taught spirit-connection practices for
remembering and retaining awareness of who we really are. 
We were taught to discount what we know, to ignore our essential
self, and to disconnect from our own wisdom, power and energy.

5. We were not taught to harvest our life lessons as we grow and
to enjoy the process of our own unfolding. 
We did not learn that life gives us ongoing opportunities to
learn and grow and that we are ever-expanding and evolving by
nature

6. We were not taught to release past patterns and habits that
no longer work for us. 
We learned to do the same things over and over again hoping to
get different results.

7. We were not taught practical systems for launching our dreams
and actualizing our potentials.
Some of us never learned to dream. Others learned to give up on
dreams before they got launched. Still others learned to dream
big but to have no confidence that their dreams would ever be
realized.

8. We have not learned how to build inner stamina and to
maintain our focus. 
We were taught to resist rather than persist.

9. We have not learned to make decisions from the inside first.

We were taught to look outside for answers and to doubt our own
abilities.

10. We were not taught the power of our thoughts and how to
focus them.
We were taught that thoughts are difficult to control or manage.

11. We have not learned the value of our emotions and how to
manage them. 
We were taught to disown, ignore, deny and repress our
feelings.

12. We have not learned the importance of self-love. 
We were taught that it is selfish to love and care for our
self.

13. We were not taught how to make peace with what is. 
We were taught to fight with the conditions of our lives.

14. We have not learned to take responsibility for creating our
lives.
 We were taught to be victims, to blame others and to feel shame
for what and who we are.

15. We have not learned that struggle is optional and joy is a
choice.
 We were taught that life is tough.

16. We have not learned the missing curriculum. 
We were taught that our education is complete and we are done.

We are all doing our best to unlearn those things we were taught
that don't serve us anymore. And it is clearly time to learn
what, for most of us, was left out.
