knowing

You can "know" something without really knowing it. Without feeling it deep within your bones, letting it rewire your insides, experiencing a change in your beliefs and actions.

Information hits the brain, but that doesn't mean it's been absorbed by the heart yet.

Only life experience can truly allow you to KNOW something because it's impossible to acutely, thoroughly understand most things unless you've lived them. This is the difference between knowledge and wisdom. This is the difference between information and transformational lived understanding.

This means we have to be willing to lean in and get dirty. Then we will learn; then we will grow.
