ACKNOWLEDGING WHAT I DON'T KNOW I am faith-filled and fear-free because . . . I know that I don't have to know.

Most people will do everything in their power to avoid admitting I don't know!  When you do admit I don't know some people respond as if you are crazy!  Adamantly they want to know what do you mean you don't know? Contrary to popular belief, when you  don't know and can admit it, you are in line for a great healing or a magnificent blessing! Few know-it alls are blessed with new insights or information. When you are willing to acknowledge that you don't know, you open yourself to all sorts of information and assistance from life.  Not knowing may send you on a search.  It may open your mind and your eyes to things you have never even thought of before.  The things you discover in your search may bless you at some later date, or the search may heal some long-held fear.  What a blessing! An admission of not knowing is a sign of great faith and trust.  It means trusting that even when you don't know, you know that when you need to know, you will know! An admission of not knowing is an act of great humility that leads to the healing of the ego.  It is the ego that fosters an internal sense of inadequacy.  When you feel or believe you are in some way inadequate, it will always feel as if you have something to prove.  Admitting that you don't know is a very loving way to acknowledge that you are absolutely fine with who you are and that you are not afraid to admit it.  What else do you need to know? Until today, you may have believed that it was your duty and responsibility to know everything. Just for today, be open and willing to admit what you don't know.  Open yourself to receive new information from expected and unexpected sources. Today I am devoted to acknowledging what I don't know, finding new paths of discovery and incorporating new information into my data bank! From Until Today!     by Iyanla Vanzant
