Let the World Catch Up (Part 2 of 2)

In Part 2 of our “Let the World Catch Up,” episode, host Dana Tenille Weekes dives into the remaining three of five mindsets to meet those moments when you feel like you’re onto something that you can see (but most people can’t see) or you understand (but most people can’t understand).

What You’ll Settle Into

• The three remaining mindset shifts that are necessary to let the world catch up: (1) dispel the myth that everyone must understand you; (2) let go of the notion that you’ve got to be fully ready to get started (you are not all-knowing); and (3) do not create any more villains in your life narrative.
• Reflection prompts to help us identify and challenge dominant narratives that keep us caught up instead of letting the world catch up to us.

Key Quotes & Insights

You don’t need everyone in this world to understand you. If you’re thinking that everyone must understand, you’re starting with an impossibility.

Everything becomes. But to become, to be in the process of becoming, you’ve got to start somewhere; even your beliefs must start from somewhere. First, you have a thought, then an idea, then an understanding, then a knowing, then a belief.

When you always create a villain in your life narrative — the one that keeps you stuck in your job, the one that tamps down on every idea, the one where you always take their actions personally and with offense — you are not letting the world catch up to you.
