Gandalf kept a secret from us all this time…
I never thought that Gandalf can be so practical...
Hey,
It’s Alex.
Are you familiar with all the memes and videos where people share things they've discovered after years without paying attention?
Just write "I was today years old when I found out" on any social media, and you will immediately realize new things about the world you never thought about.
I just did it.
I never thought that Gandalf carried his pipe inside of his staff. Incredible...
Now, the thing is, knowing that about Gandalf doesn't change anything except giving a moment of pleasure (it's also important sometimes!) and some escapism.
Now… we're talking about a little insight — a new observation.
Imagine what kind of insights are living inside of you. There's a whole world there... A wonderland with endless opportunities.
When was the last time you learned something new about yourself?
About your way of thinking.
The way you make conclusions.
and the most important ways you limit yourself.
I'm sure you've heard the famous saying:
“When you tell yourself: ‘Yes, I can’ or ‘No, I can't,’ in both cases, you are right.”
We all know that...
But knowing that doesn’t change anything; it's about paying attention to which moments in life you limit yourself and which not.
This is the real power of being aware.
Being aware of your limiting beliefs, words, actions, and way of behavior.
But we all are so busy living our lives and chasing another shiny goal that we forget about one simple fact…
All the world around us doesn't have any meaning if our inner world isn’t growing together with us.
When was the last time you had a moment of: "I was today years old when I found out" about yourself?
Take care,
Alex
