All leadership is self-leadership, all knowledge is self-knowledge.

We can’t inspire others without first dropping into a mindful place, which lets us see the beauty in our work, and achievements.

We can’t enable others to author their way of being in the world without embodying this adoptability.

Similarly, to learn, we must integrate knowledge into our understanding and experience of being. Knowledge can either be memorized or embodied. If we seek integration (/embodiment), we must extract meaning from someone else’s thoughts and weave them into ours. Essentially answering, (1) what does this (/book, talk) mean, (2) for me? In the process, we learn something new about ourselves. Rather than loading sealed boxes of facts on top of our intuition, we weave it in different ways and in various domains of thinking.
