Could you tell me a time when you felt content about the unknown?

“I don’t know” is said by many, something which I often previously said too. But after learning and understanding the power behind our words, my vocabulary started to shift. When my words and language started to shift, so did my reality. My actions and experiences, the people I attract, the opportunities which present and ultimately, the life I live, changed.

This is powerful. Let me explain, as a coach working with many different people, I am able to stand back and really witness the power of language and communication. Often the most powerfully hit by our words, is ourselves. 

Our subconscious mind controls over 95% of what we do, believe, think, speak, our behaviours and actions, and when our language comes from a negative place, negativity seems to follow. 

The words “I don’t know” speak to your unconscious mind with meaning and intent. The meaning and intent behind the words speak that you are not worthy of knowing, that the known is not inside you and that finding an answer isn’t in the present moment. 

It is not to say that not knowing the answer is wrong, but declaring the words “I don’t know” declares I am not worthy of knowing, that I need to know something that I don’t currently.

Instead, I learnt to look and listen for the answers. Declare that I am worthy of knowing. That in this present moment, all I know and have right now, is exactly what I need. 

Not knowing isn’t true for me anymore. I always have the answers within. For me, this moment when I realised the power in holding space and looking internally for answers, instead of externally, allowed me to feel content about the unknown. 

The more we create space and learn to listen, the more we become content with the unknown.
