“Just because you know something doesn’t mean you know every other thing.”
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here for a moment and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
Why do so many people avoid admitting I don’t know? Think about that for a moment... Why do you do it..?
What's your apprehension about just saying I don't know? When you really don't know... What's your fear of just saying so..?
Iyanla Vanzant offers these thoughts:
Few know-it all’s are blessed with new insights or information. Not knowing may send you on a search. It may open your mind and your eyes to things you never even thought of before.
Admission of not knowing is a sign of great faith and trust. It is an act of great humility that leads to the healing of the ego. It is a very loving way to acknowledge that you are absolutely fine with who you are and that you are not afraid to admit it.
What else do you need to know? real question to spend some time with..
Today’s Challenge: Commit to acknowledging “I don’t know” !
Be open and willing to admit what you don’t know.
Open yourself to receive new information from expected and unexpected sources.
Leaders: Start this conversation with those in your professional circle. Learn and grow together.
What are you willing to do?
Free yourself this Friday! You don't have to be a know-it all...
Don’t miss your opportunity! Be intentional... Encourage others to do the same and watch what happens.
You got this!
