#327: Drop ego to stop falling

When does real change happen? Real change happens when real learning begins. Real learning begins when you admit that you don’t know.

And what stops you admitting that you don’t know? Your ego.

Remember when you first learned to ride a bicycle? At first, you did not want help, because other kids make it look so easy. But every time you tried, you fell. Soon, through your tears, you admitted that you did not know how. That’s when learning began.

The same concept applies now that you are an adult. Real learning will only happen once you admit that you don’t know. This is the critical moment, because when you admit that you don’t know, you open yourself to new ideas, to weird concepts and to help from unexpected sources.

This is very important during these unsettled times because the sooner you drop your ego and admit that you don’t know, the sooner you will learn, the sooner you will change and the sooner you will stop falling down.
