What you know...and what you admit to...

Awareness and Acknowledgement

There is absolutely no turning back from Awareness. You can’t hid it. When you learn something new, you walk differently. Now the task is how you acknowledge what you’ve learned. That is the art.

Some choose not to acknowledge it at all. However when you are old and gray, or possibly tomorrow, you will hold yourself accountable for what you know…not for what you acknowledge. So when you’re building a house, the foundation should be on your current truth. That is hard to do, but very worth it.

It’s interesting that good acting is recognized not by “acting” like you don’t know something you know, but reacting to knowledge immediately.

When I learn something new. I’m IMMEDIATELY embarrassed! And then slowly, something happens. I feel freed up. See you’re just coming into awareness but it’s something anyone who has met you has observed. (And when people meet you, they accept you for who you are right then and there. Most people don’t anticipate what other layers there are to you, or what your potential is.)

So now, that I have been made aware of something, say...my worth (career-wise), I will need to acknowledge it in my conversation, in my promotions (resume) and in my disposition. I have classically not demanded my worth by inadvertently not meriting myself on potential, or even accomplishments, but grading harshly only on a base level. Which is interesting because I’m all too eager to merit others based on potential.

…to take it a step further, if you depend on what came naturally the assumption is that not much has evolved from that point. So one could assume, you have not much else to offer than what came naturally, than yourself in the raw.
