Where is the edge of your learning?

I came across this question recently and it stopped me in my tracks.


"Growth is permanent, discomfort is temporary", is a phrase I've used with coaching clients and participants for many years but the question "where is the edge of your learning?" takes the answerer into reflection on how safe their learning has become (or not as the case maybe)


When do you learn something and you are a true beginner? or do you choose to learn a facet of what you already know?


How often do you learn something that runs counter or contrary to your beliefs? and how do you respond?


How often do you learn something you like or interests you versus something you have no opinion about (yet)?


How often do you set out to learn something you have struggles with previously?


How are you reacting to these questions and your own answers?


Where is the edge of your learning?
