Should you Look for Information or for Insight?
If you want to make a quantum shift in your life look for insights.
Not more information.
Information:
- skills
- strategies
- plans
If all you need is information then you’re just focused of execution and accountability.
Taking what’s already knowing and doing it better. Faster.
Get a coach, find a mastermind, buddy up with others to put together a plan and stick with it.
Insight:
- new perspective
- self-knowledge
- shedding of stories
If you’ve got all the information you need but you’re still not doing anything about it then what you need is insight.
“You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.” Albert Einstein
What’s getting in your way isn’t the path.
It’s perception:
- am I good enough?
- am I allowed?
- who am I really?
With insight comes a whole new way of viewing the world that opens you up to new answers and new possibilities.
When physicists first discovered the atom they thought it was like a tiny solar system.
A nucleus of protons and atoms with electron orbiting like planets around them.
They were looking at the tiny with the eyes of the massive.
They were using Newton’s Laws that described so well how the moon went round the earth and earth went round the sun so well.
Not until quantum mechanics was invented and the idea that particles could also act as waves could breakthroughs be made.
- lasers were invented
- computers were invented
- GPS was invented
Without this shift in perception, that came from insight about the inner world of atoms, none of this would have come about.
Insights create shifts.
Insights breed creativity.
Insights hospice old stories.
Getting insights on your own is difficult.
Insights come from interacting with the world and others.
And from reflecting on what you learn with a childlike openness that’s free from judgement.
