Sometimes it's better to NOT know

Sometimes I want to know everything.


Do you occasionally feel like that too?


And I mean the important stuff, not who is with whom, who got what job and who went where on vacation.


But stuff like what's going on with cryptos lately, are there any wars in the world and what exactly is going on with the real estate market in Florida.


Ya know -- the important stuff... stuff that can help you get ahead in life, in any way.


And recently, I realized that sometimes it's better to not know anything.


You know what happened?


I had an oral surgery scheduled, and went to the orthodontist's office without a care in the world...


Then the surgeon asked me: "Are you scared [because of the surgery]?"


I said: "No, not really", but there was only one thought on my mind: "Am I supposed to be scared? Why?"


Turns out I WAS supposed to be scared because the surgery lasted for hours and it hurt like hell (even though the surgeon was one of the best in the business).


But I didn't know I was supposed to be scared so I wasn't -- and it was better that way.


The same goes for the business world.


If you have a bold idea -- you should do your due dilligence -- but you should go with it. It can be better if you don't know that you're supposed to be scared of the risks, the competition or 'the economy'.


If you know everything about the potential hurdles, problems and risks, you'll probably never even try anything, let alone succeed in it.


So my advice is: Be wary of what can go wrong, but don't be afraid to jump into things with a beginner's mind...


It will be easier to try new things and you might actually succeed on your quest!


See you around,

Filip
