The Grasshopper made an unscheduled appearance early this morning and had this to say:

“You can’t be led out of the wilderness if you don’t know you’re there.”

It’s downright difficult to have someone follow your lead who doesn’t think they’re lost.

Lost people are done learning; they know everything about that which they can’t be led out of.

Reminds me of a story . . .

I used to have a man who worked for me who was talented enough to be employed but lacked the ability to see why he wouldn’t be chosen for advancement. His words gave him away. He was constantly touting his own worth and his superior skills compared to those who currently held advanced positions. He was miffed and mystified why a number of people he had worked for passed him over for promotion. He was a victim who couldn’t be led out of the pot he was stewing in.

Even when you laid out the necessary steps for him to take to be considered for advancement, he scoffed. In his mind, he had already arrived and the only thing holding him back was others.

There are many things we can learn about in this lifetime, but the most valuable course you can take is learning about yourself.

This isn’t a course about your conditioned likes and dislikes – any moron could pass that class. This is more about the you that can take you places where you can’t currently go. You can’t currently get there because you have anchored yourself in place with all that you know.

The way to learn about yourself is to know less and discover more.

It’s just a proven fact of life that you pay more attention when you don’t know. It’s certainty that has you miss something. When you trust in letting go of what you know, you will learn about the part of you that takes you by the hand and leads you forward.

It’s difficult to let go of what you know, but it’s also necessary to discover yourself.

Chances are what you are holding on to for dear life is the weight that’s sinking you. What we hold on to is pride, prejudice and predictable behavior, and the certainty that glues all of that in place.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel and to be led towards it, you have to lighten up on what you know.

Certainty blocks the guiding light of you. Push it to one side and discover what you can accomplish.

All the best,

John
