I had a dream that I was digging through a hole in the earth and while I was doing that, all the ground came up to meet me. I thought it was a funny dream but now I think it is a story I need to write down.
It’s also one of those stories that gets a lot of people asking us about our time on Google. I think it’s something we have a responsibility to do, but I also think it’s something that everyone on our team should be doing for themselves. Not the people who have a website where we are the only ones that know about it, but the people who have a website where anyone can find more information about it.
That’s why I started this blog: to help you find and share your own stories of self-awareness. I thought I’d start with some of mine and hopefully have you think about it and share your thoughts.
I feel like we all grew up hearing the phrase “digging a hole” or “digging a ditch” or maybe even “digging your garden” and just never stopped to think about it. I wonder if there is a time where we all grew up being told to dig a hole and just never thought about it. Maybe it has to do with our childhoods or maybe it is something we are just born with.
Self-awareness is all about self-knowledge.
Self-knowledge is about knowing someone’s deepest desires and dreams. It’s also about knowing the difference between what you think you know and what you actually know. To learn to dig your own garden, for example, you must first know your garden’s root cause. That’s the difference between knowing what you know and knowing what you truly know.
So if you have an “unformed” mind then you will tend to think that you know more than you really do. It is this lack of growth beyond your thoughts and beliefs that will often lead you down a path of ignorance. And you will often, as you grow older, begin to think you know more than you really do.
This is called thinking you know more than you do. The problem with thinking you know more than you do is that the more you think you know, the less you actually know. In the same way that you learn new skills as you get older, you will also spend a little time learning new ways to think and act. That is all that is needed to get into the habit of growing and learning what you need for the future.
It’s not always wise to think you know more than you do, but when you’re faced with something you don’t, you’re much better off just doing what you do best. When we think we know more than we do, we take on the characteristics and habits of our predecessors. It’s easier to get in the habit of thinking you know something than to change your behaviors and habits to do it.
The thing about change is that it is often pretty hard. When we think change is a hard thing, it can be. We need to break the cycle and start shifting from our current habits to the ones that will make our lives better. If you’ve got the habit of eating dinner at 8 pm, that means you really don’t need to think about it, right? So you just keep eating at 8 pm.
