There are a lot of areas in life we wish we could do better at, but we don’t because we don’t think we know enough about it.
Think about it with two of the biggest areas of challenge for people: health and money.
I don’t really know what I should and shouldn’t be eating, so I’ll just eat whatever. I know I should work out, but am not really sure what i should be doing, so I just won’t bother.
I know I should handle my money better, but I don’t know enough about it. I probably should be saving for college, but I don’t know where to put it, so oh well.
It’s easy to make excuses because of what we don’t know rather than taking action on what we do know.
Do you need to be a money expert to know that credit card debt is a bad thing? Do you need to be a financial wizard to know that spending more than you make isn’t the wisest move?
Do you need a personal trainer to tell you that you need regular exercise? Do you have to be a health nut to know you should eat less junk food?
The point is that sometimes we use what we don’t know as an excuse. Instead start with what you do know and take responsibility to learn what else you need to know.
