The Power Of I Don't Know

Written by Sheldon Gerard Ginsberg

Do you want a life that is pre-programmed? Do you want to be stuck in a box that screams you must act and think this way and only this way? Isrepparttar price of seemingly safe illusions worthrepparttar 128472 prison you construct around yourself?

There is an inherent power in not knowing something. Withinrepparttar 128473 space of not knowing anything is possible. It is where life can happen without limitation.

Let me illustrate.

Many years ago, people of this world believed (and it was backed up by societies greatest thinkers/media) thatrepparttar 128474 world was flat as a pancake. If you sailed too far you would fall offrepparttar 128475 earth’s edge into oblivion.

Many people accepted this as fact and made sure never to sail too far. They changed their behavior as a result of this knowing and thus cut themselves off from other possibilities.

Looking back at this we can seerepparttar 128476 folly of their ways butrepparttar 128477 point is not lost. What beliefs about our lives are we currently clinging to in order to feel safe about ourselves that limits our potentialities and possibilities?

Knowing and not knowing is a relationship that we manage. Isn’t there a great delight in learning something new? Well, in order to learn something new some part of you has to not know.

Learn to say, “I don’t know”. It gives you tremendous power to be open to other possibilities that you may not have considered before. It does not mean that you forgot allrepparttar 128478 information that you have learned. It does not mean that you are stupid or incapable. What it does mean is that you are honest. Place knowing torepparttar 128479 side and remind yourself that what you know is such a small part of what really exists. When you don’t know you are left withrepparttar 128480 excitement of discovery and adventure!

Newness exists everywhere you turn. If you think you know it all then newness is gone. Buried underrepparttar 128481 desire to control, limit and appear smart.

If we begin to acknowledge and trust that we really don’t know and then we say, “I am going to find out for myself” then you have power. For then your experience informs you and experience isrepparttar 128482 best teacher.

Knowledge is a structure that is built upon assumptions where only certain things can happen. Set yourself free fromrepparttar 128483 bonds of knowing and begin to embrace life moment-to-moment. Allow knowledge to come and go but do not to attach to any one belief. Allow thoughts to flow in your mind without any obstructions or impediments and pay attention to new ideas and thoughts.

”I don’t know” if a place where anything can happen.

Using Mindfulness For Daily Life

When you're inrepparttar middle of a task and feel stressed, stop. Take three deep breaths, then carefully watch yourself until identify what is bothering you. Find everything you can. Are you expecting something bad to happen? Is an argument from this morning still going on just belowrepparttar 128469 surface of your consciousness? Are you worried about something? Is some part of your body in pain? Note everything you find.

Now deal with these thieves-of-concentration one by one. Makerepparttar 128470 phone call that's on your mind, take an aspirin if you need to, and apologise to someone if necessary. Take things from your mind and put them on a list for tomorrow (in writing). If all you can do is acknowledge that there's nothing you can do right now - do that. After doing this mindfulness exercise, you'll feel less stressed, and you'll be able to concentrate more effectively onrepparttar 128471 tasks at hand. Try it now.
