Today I find that I’m trying to combat common knowledge.
Children have got this advantage over adults - they’re not yet bogged down and limited by ‘common knowledge’. Kids are so present - everything’s on the table for them. They see life in a colorful kaleidoscope of possibility and adventure. As they get older, this world is all too eager to impart its ‘common knowledge’ on them. Dictating what is really possible, and what’s not.
Whether it’s the economy, healthcare, finances/debt, business, politics, or even the decisions you make in you day-to-day life, you’ll probably come across people who are more than willing to offer you their well-intentioned advice. Their impressive titles, fancy college degrees and years of experience will probably entice you to listen to them. Know what? They’re not always right, and it’s always your choice whether or not to believe their advice.
Sometimes, it's as simple as quieting your mind, going 'within' and being patient to hear the answers.
Beware of common knowledge. It’s a recipe for common results.
