you first confront it.
This was just one of the MANY quotes that helped to expand my context today.
Today was one of the most exciting and engaging days I've had in ... DAYS!!! I had some great conversations today with future business partners, other entrepreneurs, possible mentors, customers, friends, educators and many others.
It was a GREAT day!!! This is going to be an incredible year!
Today, I had the opportunity to meet to extremely intelligent, eloquent, enlightened, informed, engaged and inspiring individuals: Dr. Shedrick Ward (Dr. Shedrick Ward is the facilitator of the AIM program at Northwestern, which identifies and nurtures students from the ninth grade on and offers scholastic options based in technological fields.) and Dr. Thomas Maridada (Michigan's 2008 Superintendent of the Year).
Both men were incredibly engaging and gracious. The conversations that we had today (Dr. Ward in the AM and Dr. Maridada in the PM) expanded my context (e.g. reality) by leaps and bounds.
If you don't really understand the difference between context and content, let me try to explain because I'll be using this terminology much more often.
Imagine a shot glass full of water. Now imagine a pint glass full of water. Now, a pitcher. The difference between the size of the vessel (e.g. shot glass, pint glass, pitcher) is your context - or the ability of content that your have the capacity to receive.
Imagine if I poured the entire contents of a full pint glass into a shot glass, it would over flow and much of it would be wasted. So, in order to receive more content, you must first expand your context.
Thank you so much Robert Kiyosaki for that explanation.
"A mind that expands to a new idea, never returns to its original size." Einstein
