It is
somewhat of a misnomer to say that education is the key to life. However, it is true in a sense.
Most people think that this phrase only has to do with academics. Therefore, their perception of
the meaning is that going to college and getting an education is the key to a successful life.
To look
at it that way is a shallow view of a bigger picture. The fact of the matter is that education
might make you successful financially by giving you the credentials to acquire a pretty good
paying job, but that’s about all it will do as far as success in your life.
We have
been taught to look at success only from an educational standpoint but the true meaning of
success is holistic and has to do with happiness which usually comes about when one has success
in all areas of their life i.e. financial, health, relationship, etc. The more holistic success you experience the happier your will
be.
In
reality there are two parts to education. There is the academic education which is provided by
the school systems (i.e. elementary, middle school, high school and college) and there is
spiritual education which is not a part of the school system, but is the most important
ingredient to “the key to life”.
The
academic education curriculum is not geared to teach students about life, happiness and holistic
success. Its main focus is to prepare them for a job, which is based on a dependant mindset. The
problem with that is if the economy starts spiraling downward and there is no job to be had, the
student does not know how to create income using her or his God given
potential.
Spiritual education is
not part of the system therefore must be obtained by self help, in other words one’s own
initiative. It is based upon the understanding of the student’s divine inner power and the
Universe.
The student gains a true understanding her or his mind, spirit
and soul and their potential to create success in all parts of life. Through this higher
spiritual awareness and consciousness the student gains a greater appreciation of life and a
deeper trust in the creator within.
The
spiritual student is no longer just limited to the academic teachings and success of the system.
She or he realizes that with faith it is possible to create one’s dreams for an abundantly
blessed and fulfilling life.
Yes,
education is the key to life but it is the combination of academic plus spiritual education that
is the key that will unlock the doors to more blessings than you have room to
receive.
