There is a phrase “sometimes you win and sometimes you learn”. Logically, learning, if done properly, leads ultimately to more winning. And “winning”, logically, can consist in learning.
It is important to measure what you know in some way. Winning is when you test it and can prove you do in fact know what you thought you knew.
But in the end, the ultimate metric is your relationship with yourself and others. How harmonious is it?
What I feel is that so many of us freeze our energy at a certain point, and only allow outward movement. The foundational notion of Kum Nye is that energy in motion will always evolve and organize itself. The motion is first. The learning is second.
But an openness to learning is what enables the movement in the first place. You have to say “I don’t know what I know, and I don’t know what I don’t know.” This is where it begins.
And how this is done is by regularly sitting down and listening.
