Memorizing First-Aid Instructions: vs. Giving First Aid (Heroic +1 #1,928)

Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another heroic one. And at last plus one. We spent another moment with Stephen Hayes. As you may recall, we discussed his wisdom on moving from theory to practice. You understand? Now practice with some Donald Robertson wisdom. Quit being a librarian. Be a warrior. Along with some Usonius Rufus wisdom on the subject. Note, I smile anytime I type or say Musonius Rufus. That's hands down the best name ever. Today I want to talk about another theory to practice. Metaphor I always think of when I'm thinking about these things. It's from another somewhat obscure teacher who taught a couple thousand years after Busanius Rufus smiled again, typing that and saying that now. This guy's name was Vernon Howard. He wrote a book called the Power of youf Supermind. In that book he tells us, you see, knowing the words is not the same as living the meaning. Suppose I memorize the printed instructions on a first aid kit. Does that mean I can give first aid? No. The full meaning comes when I admit I know nothing. And then try, practice, succeed. And that's today's +1. If you memorize the first aid kit instructions metaphorically. Awesome. Now can you give world class first aid to yourself and your loved ones when you and they need it? Awesome. Remember, when someone is in distress, the best compassion you can give is to be effective in helping them. Here's to moving from theory to practice to mastery. Together today.
