The Power of Not Knowing

Hermanas Carter, Greenwood, Tukuafu, and Rice at the Mexico City Temple

This past week I read an INCREDIBLE talk titled, "The Power of Not Knowing" by Liz Wiseman. (It is a BYU speech.) And I wanted to share a couple of quotes and thoughts. :)

"Where is learning really born? It is born in the struggle."

"Sometimes the more we know, the less we see around us."

She also gives a couple of key things that we can focus on, especially when we feel like we don't know what we are doing.

1. Ask more questions

2. Admit what you don't know

3. Learn to see the genius in others

Have you ever felt like you don't know what you're doing? Have you ever tried to fake it until you make it? I have. But why focus on what we can't do or can't control? That only leaves us running around in circles. Something that leaves us out of breath and with a big headache.

This week I want to encourage you all (and I will do the same) to ask more questions, admit when you don't know or understand something, and look for the genius in others (and tell them!)

"Sometimes our state of not knowing is actually where we come to know God."

Instead of focusing on what you don't know, focus on what you can learn.

More than anything, focus on God.

Maybe we don't know everything, but we do know that Heavenly Father knows and loves us perfectly. Remember that. :)
