It’s OK not to know. Most people don’t know what they don’t know. So it’s OK to admit, “I don’t know.”
What isn’t OK is using “I don’t know” as an excuse to do nothing.
A lot of people do. You might even be a little guilty yourself… but what’s reallly underneath all that?
Fear? Of failing? Fear of Success? Feelings that you aren’t worthy, or aren’t enough? Or maybe you’re already overwhelmed by life stuff, that you feel too exhausted to do MORE now??
I get it. But this is something to get over, if there’s a DESIRE that you really, really, really want.
So turn “I don’t know” away from being an excuse, and towards being an adventure.
OK, so you don’t know. That’s OK. Now what?
Go find out.
You can start with a search engine online, or the latest AI tool. Just start asking questions.
“I want to do this… now what?”
If that’s not your thing, just ask the nearest person to you. Yes, even some random stranger.
“Do you know (the thing)”
And if they say “no” (which is often the case), follow it up with:
“Do you know somebody who might know (the thing)?”
The answer may also be “no” and that’s OK, it’s still one step closer.
“Do you know somebody who might know somebody?”
Or go ask someone else the same questions.
Keep in mind, just because YOU don’t know, doesn’t mean it’s unknowable. SOMEBODY knows.
Go from “I don’t know” to “I WILL know!”
And you will go very far.
