I believe that, as humans, we never stop learning. Although that might appear daunting – it’s also magnificent. The chance to always be able to grow and change is a beautiful priviledge to have. I strongly believe that everyone should have the right to access education in some way. We are incredibly lucky to live in a place and time where information is at our fingertips. So I encourage you to watch more seminars, read more books, engage with more articles, embrace short courses, watch documentaries, expand your horizons and revel in the fact that there is an infinite well of knowledge out there ready for you to dive into!
