As we learn throughout our day to day lives, we cultivate understandings of various subjects. However, it is often not until we experience the new understanding or apply it to a previous/relatable situation that we can actually feel the understanding within.

It is a beautiful moment when you have a full realization of any concept or theory. When I started to watch for these moments, note their occurrence and enjoy them, was when my craving for knowledge began.

After you have grasped a base understanding of a concept and truly understand the realizations and implications of said concept a feeling I can only relate to deep satisfaction occurs and I call this ‘The Feeling of Having Learnt’.

Once you can observe ‘the feeling of having learnt’, enjoy it, then later meditate on it, the implications, new doorways that have been opened from it and what you’re going to do, a thirst for more knowledge is created and you will find yourself naturally seeking it.

By seeking knowledge, you will develop more hobbies and habits, which will slowly replace any wasteful or toxic habits you may previously had.
