What you Know VS. What you have EXPERIENCED
We all know that there is no gravity in space. Have any of you actually experienced it? There is a bit of conspiracy theory surrounding human moon landings which i will let you explore with your free time today but it brings up the question: Can you really know something without experiencing it? (Did we ReALLY go to the moon?)
I didn’t learn much from school but something that has stuck with me for year was the fact that education doesn’t create change ( I learned that in a minority health class). You can teach people the right food to eat or tell them they can get out of the ghetto but until they experience it for themselves (they rarely do) they don’t understand it. You can see where this is going…
When I sit down with people and talk about nutrition or lifestyle changes that need to be made in order to get to their goals I can only try to educate them. With the education we try to show how easy each step is and remove any barriers we can forsee. Unfortunately as i mentioned above, You can only really know what you have experienced yourself.
The point here is that in order to understand something fully, you HAVE to experience it. Watching someone smoke pot is NOT the same as smoking it yourself right? So, you want to make some changes in your life? Identify the areas you need help with, go seek experts in those fields, learn from them, the DO. Do whatever it is that you just learned about. Experience it and know it.

The way I see it that’s the only way you could KNOW that.
