When was the last time you were really confused?

If it’s been a while then you’re not adventuring enough.

I know this might sound a little odd at first but stay with me and I’ll explain.

You see, confusion is a beautiful thing.

If you’re confused right now or your mind is already pushing back then we’re on the right track.

I can feel that right now I’m knocking on the door of your sense of how the world should be.

Why?

I’ll tell you why.

Somewhere deep down you believe that life should be neat and organized. That you should already know everything and that being confused is a sign of weakness. But that’s far from the truth.

When you’re confused, you’re standing at the edge of an opportunity for growth. Now you might not enjoy the feeling of danger that comes with the territory of being confused, but that’s because it’s challenging your sense of who you are. At its core, confusion is caused by uncertainty.

So if confusion is an opportunity, how do you manage it so that it benefits you?

Well, you can start by asking yourself questions.

A great question to begin with, is to ask yourself, should I already know how to do this? If you’re encountering a new question or situation, one that you’ve never experienced before, then there’s a high likelihood that you’ll experience some confusion, this is your opportunity for growth. And if it’s a question or situation you’ve experienced before that’s causing you confusion, then that means you didn’t really learn it the first time around, and so now you’re presented with another opportunity to learn.

When you encounter confusion, learn to use it as a tool, make it one of your superpowers. Be the one to embrace situations filled with uncertainty, because deep down you know that all confusion is, is an opportunity to learn and grow.
