4 Steps of knowing

Have you ever heard about the process of learning?
It’s pretty interesting. It all starts with not even realizing what we don’t know, and that’s the first step. We’re just going about our lives, maybe a bit unaware or not paying attention. Then, something happens, someone tells us something, or we realize something on our own, and suddenly we move to the second step – we become aware of what we don’t know. It’s like a lightbulb goes off and we’re like, “Oh, I didn’t even realize I didn’t know that!”
And then, we start working on it. We’re actively trying to learn and understand, and that’s the third step. We’re building knowledge and understanding, and we go from “I don’t know” to “I know what I don’t know”. It’s like we’re starting to get a handle on things and really understand them.
But there’s even a fourth stage – mastery.
That’s when we become so good at something that we don’t even think about it anymore. We’re operating on a whole different level, almost like it’s become second nature to us. We’re not even conscious of what we’re doing, we just do it and do it well. It’s like we’re in a state of flow, and it feels amazing.
