Why invoke inner wisdom?
The biggest challenge in human development is not that we are Under-Talented, but that we are UNDER-LEVERAGED!!!
We Humans use only 5% of their capabilities before they go away from this world.
But the question then is,how do we increase this from 5%??
By going INSIDE.
But most of us are ”Outside In than Inside Out”
Outside In, is the conventional way, which is invoked in our childhood.?
It consists of external inputs like Teaching/ Preaching/ Reading/ Training/ Motivational Speeches. It is a feeding channel.?
But the problem is we take these external inputs & gulp them down & do nothing about them.
We don't reflect on them on how we can take this Outside In material & find meaningful solutions to difficult problems that we may be facing.
There is a good analogy of how a cow eats. She uses a combination of gulping down grass when in a hurry (Outside In Pathway) & ruminating when she has time to sit down-bringing the food back into her mouth to chew (Inside-Out pathway).?
The human equivalent of Rumination is Reflection.?
Nourishment accrues when we "Chew" on things- i.e reflect on each of our major experiences, to extract ( learning) juice from these juicy fruits (your experiences & inputs that come from outside are the juicy fruits). But we fail to take the juice out of these juicy fruits.
The absence of this nutrition leads to malnutrition which is evident in the superficial, "Cut-Paste, Cookie Cutter" culture we see around us, lacking depth & authenticity.
All wisdom to solve all your problems lies within you.?
But this journey is a journey within you, the Inside Out pathway is rarely taken.?
This is the fundamental reason why we are intelligent but not wise.
This is invoking wisdom in action.?
Bring it out to think through. Find meaning. Find solutions.
That's why, I am a big fan of Self Reflection (Rumination).?
This process is called invoking inner wisdom which ultimately empowers us for greatness.

10 个月Thank you Sir for recognizing my concept of “Inside-Out” learning pathway by sharing it on your platform Some supplementary thoughts to your note : ??Each completed year & each major experience in life is like a Juicy Fruit – by default , they just get accumulated . For getting nourishment , we should take juice out of them & drink – i,e, (i) Ask reflective questions like – What happened / Why did that happen/ What were other options / Why did not I use them/How differently I will do it next time ? & (ii) Internalise the learning. ??Outside -In ( feeding ) learning pathway is required , when we start as a child , as our mental slate is blank then . However Adulthood needs that we switch to Inside-Out pathway . It is a choice to focus on Metabolism than on Diet ! Our ( thinking ) metabolism is unique to us & hence our differentiator ??4 ‘Inside-Out’ mechanisms I have used are: (i) Reflection, (ii) Introspection , (iii) Meditation , (iv) Self dialogue . For these we need a dedicated , committed – periodic “ Solo Time “ ??Eventual human mind evolution journey goes through 4 progressive stages : Knowledge à Learning à Insight à Wisdom?
