I will like to remind my readers that while knowledge is always worth receiving, its nuisance-value is defined each time practice is not immediately added to the receiving. I have said again and again that the goal of knowledge is transformation; and that any knowledge incapable of offering hope and change, and incapable of transforming or governing mindsets and behavior is a pure waste of time and energy. Knowledge must do two things to the receiver of knowledge: (1) It must reveal what you are going to stop doing, and (2) it must reveal what you are going to begin to do. Please reject any self-deceptive excitement that allows you to value the sensation of impact over the experience of impact. They are two different things. And a lot of times when you go into the seminar halls and workshop rooms, a lot of good words are shared; a lot of inspiration and motivation are shared. You feel good and feel you can take your world. But it is your duty to recognize that most of the time, what you receive in the seminar hall is only going to give you a sensation of impact, it is not impact. It is expected that you will convert the sensation to experience. It is expected that you will convert the sensation of impact to an experience of it. And you are only able to do that by committing to the deeds and the requirements hidden in the information you have received and engage them. That’s knowledge. If knowledge does not take you to this mental and emotional state, you really have not been taught.
