Doing What You Know

I recently attended a meeting where one of the presenters was sharing personal development insights and how, a lot of the times, when we hear something, we tend to nod our head in agreement but do not do what we already know.

It is an interesting observation. If you were to ask yourself, "Do I do what I know?", what would your answer be?

There are many examples where people do not do what they know. For example, a student knows how to study but that does not mean that they will study, or a salesperson knows how to sell but that does not mean they will sell. So, the question is why don't we do what we know?

The answer is simply that we are being controlled by our paradigms. Our paradigms are like the control panel in a computer, it dictates what we do and what we don't do. Put simply, paradigms are a multitude of habits. The habits that are controlling us are usually other people's habits and in most cases, we don't even know how our habits were formed.

In life, everything comes down to results. We all want to improve our results whether that be our health, our relationships, our finances, our career and businesses, or our family life. But in order to improve our results, we need to understand what paradigms are controlling us and also have a clear picture of what we want or where we want to go.

In my book, "Hoops and Freedom", I discuss where our limiting beliefs come from and what can be done to move to where we want to be, along with many other success principles. To get a copy, please "click here".
