The thing about these know-it-all people is they are not open to the fact that there could be something missing to their equations. They just don't see that if they keep doing what they are currently doing, they are going to continue to get the same results.
The people who are willing to learn, who are strong enough to explore new territories are the ones who will be rewarded in the end.
In the 18th century, a group of brave explorers set sail from England, not knowing where they were heading and found the Promised Land - America. Imagine where we will be today (for those living in America) if that group had held on to their beliefs that the world is flat and if you sailed too far, you'd fall off the edge.
I know that a pilot will definitely learn about what to do when he's flying through bad storms in the flight school. But it is by actually flying through an actual storm is where HE LEARNS.
Know what is it that separates the rich from everybody else?
They don't mind repeating the learning process. Yeah, the boring process. For instance, they make it a point to attend seminars on wealth despite that they're already wealthy because they know that if they can pick up even just one new thing to try out, it will be worth it.
Try this -- the next time you attend a seminar, watch out for those who go to the back of the room to buy the speaker's product at the end of the presentation. If you attend another seminar and you happen to see him there again, I bet you'll see him buying again.
Funny thing is, the know-it-alls will say that they already know what will be shared in these seminars and they can't afford to waste their time learning the same thing all over again.
That's true too. I know because I was in their shoes -- I was trying to grow my business but it seemed to be 'stuck'. I KNOW how to solve it and yet I was not able to change it because my mind is 'block'. You see, when you get a solution from a valuable source that you trust, you will see it differently even if it's solution that you already knew.
Put it this way...if you believe in God and suddenly, you met God in person and God gives you the advice to appreciate your life -- I think you'll do it with no questions asked although you already know that you should appreciate your life.
Makes sense?
Like what we have seen earlier, you can't keep doing the same thing and expect the outcome to be different. Something has to change in the whole system in order to break the cycle and get better results.
Therefore if you think that you know everything, if you don't stop being so full of yourself and open up your mind to receive new things, how are you ever going to improve your results? Sounds pretty harsh doesn't it? Well, wake up - that's called reality.
