You won’t find the answer here.

May 5, 2024 by Andy

When we learn, we run into scenarios where we don’t know the answer. We’ve been trained to ask questions when we find ourselves in such a predicament; that there’s a right answer to find.

If we don’t get the answer right away, we might be tempted to wait until we have it – especially if we have access to someone who’s an expert.

And most experts will give you an answer if you ask them. After all, it feels good to help and the expert knows how it feels to have once been in the place where you are now: not knowing.

But sometimes we can let not knowing stop us from taking action. Even if we get a few questions answered, we may find that it uncovers yet more questions. Or we may find that the answer isn’t the mysterious secret we thought it might be, leaving us pretty much where we started; having a basic understanding of what is needed but not the full experience of knowing.

Whether you know an answer or not, your question will remain ethereal to you until you try the thing for yourself.

So instead of asking, thinking there’s perfect information, just start doing. Taking action is the best way to know a thing.
