Unlearning…

The process of maturing is difficult not because it is hard to learn new things and accept larger responsibilities such as partner, spouse, friend, and father. Maturation is difficult because of all the unlearning. Personal and collective transformation requires more unlearning than learning. If you have a hard time with repentance, this is a sure sign of immaturity. Most transformation starts with unlearning. What habit is holding your mind captive, friend? What signature strength/tendency do you need to lean against (see unlearn)?

This past week one of my clients began the process of unlearning a signature habit that’s holding him back. It hurt him acutely to awaken to this reality, decide to change his mind, and then act into it. This, friend, is difficult. Unlearning, btw, is almost impossible a lone. All of us have blind spots especially when it comes to over reliance on a strength. Unlearning is difficult. Phone a friend. Ask for help illuminating a blind spot. It takes humility to unlearn. Need some?
