Knowledge ≠ Understanding
Knowledge does not always = understanding In my last post we touched on the "Paradox of Freedom" and a system of thought we've been using with our students who are "on mission" in our coaching program.
If you're just joining us, this piece is part 2 of 5 on paradoxes. How the very things we think restrict us actually give us freedom; how the very things we think give us freedom, actually enslave us (which keep you from being consistent towards your goals, regardless of what they are, and by consequence becoming who you have been called to be.) For context, read part 1, then come back here
I came across this video which I feel is relevant to this "Paradox" email series, the "Toxic Cycle", and your two identities.
We all have goals and men, by our nature, are built to solve problems.
We embark on the mission, with good intentions, but... never seem to finish the job.
Why?
Paradigms, perceptions, and biases.
We are trapped in "Identity #1."
(Which I've teased in this post, let me know if you spot it.)
The result?
We KNOW what we should be doing. But don't UNDERSTAND how to get there. Therefore, we live a life of indecision, and fail to complete the work in front of us.
(Which not only breaks trust with ourselves... but also with our family and fellow man.)
Enslaving us to the vortex that is, the Toxic Cycle.
... and the way to freedom is...
Shifting paradigms, perceptions, and biases.
hec g.
Btw...
The video above validates why God says... in order for us to enter the kingdom... we must become like a child.
Because...
Children are not trapped in their stories or false beliefs about themselves and possess the power to shift their paradigm in a fraction of time.
