What You Know
Knowledge in action is your unique value. Knowledge comes from learning, experiences, and deliberate practice. There are three things you must know. These three things are worthy of study for the rest of your life. The three things are (1) know your dream, (2) know the nature of success, and (3) know who you are. If you focus on your dream and the nature of success, you will learn who you are. Why? Because living your dream is the progressive revealing of the real you, your preferences, values, and purpose. Your dream calls to the depths of your being so that it takes on a material expression.
Your dream is your teacher. If you take action on your dream, it will show you what you need to know. This truth is priceless. Get this in your heart and believe it with conviction. The only way to truly know your dream is to live it. Take action on your dream every day. Take the best action that advances your dream. Your dream is your teacher, and your goal is to become a good student.
There will be many challenges. Each challenge shows you what you need to learn. As you live your dream you will have to make decisions and choices. These are personal; no one else can make them. This is where you learn about yourself; your preferences, style, aesthetic, character, and values. The deeper you know yourself, the more effective you will become.
There are many things to learn about the nature of success. Keep expanding what you know. Build expertise for long-term mastery. Learn the principles, practices, and mindset of success. Understand that your knowledge will compound and become more effective year upon year. Treat knowledge as gold; gain it, use it, retain it, and build upon it.
Know your dream.
Know the Nature of Success.
Know thyself.
To your success!
