What makes us feel safe and secure is often the exact thing that enables our fears and insecurities.
Today’s podcast drop is titled “Addiction To Knowledge”.
I share how by taking a month off from external learning taught me a lot internally and most profoundly was my addiction to knowledge that was created unconsciously to hide an old insecurity of mine that I didn’t know enough.
I learned I was constantly trying to learn as much as I could because I had this fear of not knowing enough that stemmed from an early age and magnified when I was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
By giving into this vice I was creating stronger and stronger bonds with, it was preventing me from taking the action I knew I must take and wanted to know. Ultimately, this created a bigger gap with what I wanted and what I was experiencing.
By being challenged to take a month off from any external information coming in, I began to intently learn so much about who I am, why I do what I do, and what needed to change.
I learned that what often feels safe and comfortable is the very thing that enables us to play small and hide behind our fears and insecurities.
It’s not until we change things up and remove these vices that we can look behind the curtain of our reality and see what’s going on opposed to the lens of perception our unconscious mind has created to keep us safe.
