Abstract
Life-long learning should be full of love of discovery, passion for adventure, and pragmatic self-formation. This article is a conversation between author and reader about continuing education as a life-giving and challenging journey. It analyzes the self-critical narratives people tell to propel themselves forward in learning, and invites the reader to take up narratives that are self-aware, non-judgmental, and willing to be stretched anew. It describes the balancing act between passion for adventure and pragmatic self-formation at work in the life of the adult learner, and invites the reader to step forward in curious, creative, and reflective learning.
