Turn knowing into doing
Many Muslims around the world are celebrating the birth of Imam Ali (as) this week and so I would like to share some timeless wisdom from this great spiritual leader which continues to inspire millions today.
Imam Ali (as) said: "Knowledge, if not acted upon, departs." Along the same lines, he also said: "Knowledge is of two kinds, that which is absorbed and that which is heard. And that which is heard does not profit if it is not absorbed".
Have you ever wondered why we remember so little of what we read and hear? It is because what we hear, does not 'settle' into our being. It passes by without making an impact. "In one ear and out the other", as the saying goes.
Can we change this so that we remember more of what we learn? So that what we learn transforms our lives for the better?
For sure.
As soon as we learn something, we need to ask ourselves: "What will I do differently as a result of this information?"
Then put knowledge into action. Even a tiny little action.
Remember the power of baby steps to change your life.
So, what will you do different today?
