The process of writing my book has been so interesting. So many opportunities for me to look at myself and the way that I approach things. One of the most interesting opportunities is the one around the ability to say that I don’t understand something.
This brings me to what I wanted to write about here. That is this false belief that I should be able to know something before I know it. Yes, I read that sentence and say that doesn’t even make sense. But, how many of us have taken on a project thinking we should not be able to ask questions about it? It’s like the person (not that I have even done this:) who gets lost driving, but refuses to ask for directions. Truth is our GPS takes care of that most of the time, but there are still times we need to ask.
If the goal of doing a project is to get it done is to get it done, it just makes sense to ask questions. Right? Well, the inability to ask questions usually stems from deeper issues that cannot be just logically sorted out. I often think that if I can just understand it then the problem will be solved.
What is the solution for this? It is so incredibly simple, and yet difficult at the same time. It is the act of just doing it. Just ask. And, no this is not easy sometimes, but really it is the way out. My confidence builds when I ask questions, and I learn that others will help me.
