Are you willing to admit you do not know?
I think one of the greatest things I ever learned was how much I did not know.
That realization did not make me feel inadequate. It opened my life up.
We were never taught everything we need to know about health, money, relationships, happiness, fulfillment, resilience, or even ourselves. Yet somewhere along the way, we started believing we should already have the answers. Then fear steps in. Fear of embarrassment. Fear of rejection. Fear of judgment. Fear of looking uneducated. Especially when it comes to mental health.
So instead of asking, we pretend to know. And pretending keeps us exactly where we are.
If you want to get healthier but do not know how, find someone who does and ask.
If you want to improve financially but do not understand the possibilities, find people succeeding in different areas and ask.
If you are unhappy, unfulfilled, or mentally exhausted, seek out people who have learned how to create something different and ask.
There is no weakness in not knowing. The weakness is allowing your fear of someone knowing that you do not know to keep you from learning.
Life became much bigger for me when I became comfortable saying, I have a lot to learn.
That is where growth begins.
First, become aware of what you do not know. Then become enthusiastically curious enough to learn it.
You do not have to know everything to change your life.
You just have to remain willing to learn what you need to know next.

TODAY’S REMINDER
You don’t need everyone to understand you.
Some people will misunderstand your silence.
Some will misunderstand your intentions.
Some will misunderstand your journey.
Let them.
You’re not here to convince everyone who you are.
You’re here to become the person you know you can be.
Question for the Tangled community:
What’s one thing you’ve stopped explaining yourself for?
Drop it in the comments. Someone here might need to hear your answer.

When was the last time you challenged your own truth?
I was talking with a younger gentleman at the gym today about truth and perception. I told him something I have come to understand more as I have gotten older. We all have our own version of truth because we are looking at life through different eyes.
None of us experiences the world exactly the same. Everything we see passes through the filter of our experiences, fears, conditioning, successes, failures, beliefs, and everything we have been taught along the way. When something passes through that filter enough times, it can become a belief. And once it becomes a belief, we often stop questioning whether it is actually true.
That is where we can limit ourselves without even realizing it.
I believe we should challenge our beliefs occasionally, especially the ones influencing how we see ourselves, other people, and what we believe is possible for our lives. This does not mean abandoning everything we believe. It means becoming aware enough to question why we believe it.
There are really two possible outcomes. You question a belief and discover that it still holds true, which strengthens your understanding. Or you discover that what you believed was truth was actually your perception of truth.
That second possibility requires us to set the ego aside because being wrong does not make us less intelligent. Sometimes discovering we were wrong is exactly how we grow.
Awareness gives us the ability to recognize the lens we have been looking through. Accountability allows us to question it. Responsibility gives us the power to choose differently.
Growth begins when we become more interested in discovering truth than defending what we already believe.
