Phases of Education and The Importance of UN-learning
The chief object of education is not to learn things but to unlearn things. – G. K. Chesterton

It wasn’t until I got to college that I really began to wake up to the idea that I didn’t know things.
* * *
As I progressed through college I – luckily – learned that there were many, many, many things I did not know.
* * *
Now that I am older I am realizing that there are many things that I do, or don’t do, because of things I “know,” that don’t serve me.
I now get to unlearn things that have been holding me back and keeping small.
It is this “third” education that has the most to teach.

Where are you stuck or small? What do you need to un-learn?
