It's All About The Proper Edu-Mucation
There are many people that subscribe to the old adage, “Knowledge is Power.” Too bad. They’re missing the boat on this one.
At times, I receive emails that make “suggestions” about my grammar or phrase-ology, spelling and otherwise freewheeling use of the English language. They should see what I do to Spanish!
Filled with academic prowess and perceiving themselves as intellectually superior, they feel compelled to inform me of any one of my numerous gaffs. As if to save me from being seen by people as less than perfect.
So what? I ain’t perfect and I don’t do well with rules.
As Thomas Edison once said, “There ain’t no rules around here. We’re trying to accomplish something.”
Here’s my point. Knowledge must be applied to have any value.
Now, I am not stating that formal education is to be discounted. The point I want to illustrate to you is that there is knowledge that will better serve each of us as we strive to reach higher levels in our lives.
Take a look at what you know. Ask yourself, "Is this serving me to my greater good?" If the answer is "Yes", keep it. If the answer is "No", drop it and move on.
To establish what knowledge is beneficial and what knowledge will assist us in pursuit of our goals, we must first determine what those goals are. In relation to the definition of “direct and clear awareness”, by determining clearly what you want, you can now begin to discover the knowledge that will guide you toward success.
Education comes from the Latin educare – to draw from. There is much to draw from in our life and when you continue to draw from life you continue to grow. Stop the education, you stop the growth, stop the growth and you stop the progress.
The knowledge you require for success in your chosen endeavor is out there. It’s in books, CD’s, seminars, coaching, web sites, as well as in other programs and opportunities.
Until then, shape it in your mind and find it in your life.
Best of Success,
