Four lessons for new advocates
The age of knowing has overwhelmed us with an information and very few of us have moved from that phase. Today you can find information everywhere, but information alone is not enough. Unused information is worthless, for it does not provide illustrations nor empirical examples of how that information has or can be applied. For the ‘Woke’ generation, it is not enough to know, we’re seeking to ‘Know How’. As we move towards new horizons, we must be willing to challenge what we know and what has been told to us. The path to ‘Knowing How’ come with a cost, for you must be open to new ideas and ways of thinking and doing. Stepping out of one's comfort zone is not easy and will come with resistance, for most systems do not want to be challenged, thus wanting you to maintain that same level of knowing which does not challenge the current state of being. What I will ask of you, is to take hold of what is shared on this site and the examples, apply them with full intention and emotion knowing that what you're seeking is achievable before you achieve it. Our knowing's become a reflection of what reality is to use and that at times creates limitations. To start freeing from those limitations we must envision something new and place our full intention, emotions of joy and excitement into that vison.
One of the verses we often quote to back this is up is “as a man thinks in his heart so is he.” While this is true, I want to give you examples of why Proverbs 23:7 helps move us from just Knowing to ‘Knowing How’.
This site will feature real life examples from ordinary people that have done and are doing extraordinary things.
