According to the principles of Tibetan Buddhism, every entry into a new life means that we have something to learn.
The first stages of our lives are the most developmental months of our entire lives. Cell division after fertilisation alone is an incomparable miracle. Nine months later a baby is born. A small and comparatively helpless body has emerged, but the potential within it is still unbelievable. During the time from baby to Toddler, the child goes through a huge learning curve. Motoric skills, language and the development of social bonds are an expression of a huge learning load.

Science is still looking for which chemical compounds in the human body enable such a steep learning curve. Because the older we get, the slower our learning processes are in comparison.
While physical developments in the first months of life follow an inherent biological plan, after the development of the human brain, the ability to choose which skills and talents we want to follow arises more and more. At the beginning, our parents take over the selection, but children begin to make decisions themselves at primary school age. Somebody wants to learn to play the guitar and pay special attention to sports or art subjects, others are into mathematics and science. Learning begins to differentiate and individualise.

We also learn in social and emotional environments, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Fate, karma and social constraints or even injustices force us to adapt and deal with conflicts and thus learn.
The willingness to learn will play an important role until the end of our lives. The more willingness to learn we develop, the richer our choices will be and the more colorful and probably contented our lives will be.
We cannot change our past, but we can deal with it constructively. Learning happens in this constructive discussion. A difficult childhood is a serious obstacle. Nevertheless, we can also develop an opportunity to learn by not giving up.
