#77 The ‘I Don’t Know’ Syndrome

Have you ever used ‘I don’t know’ as a way to escape answering a tough question?If you have, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common answers to challenging questions. But more often than not it’s just an escape. It’s a story we tell ourselves, and sometimes it’s even a lie.Most of the time we do know, but we just don’t want to know. We use ‘I don’t know’ when we’re afraid, apathetic, or mentally lazy.It’s our responsibility to know! If we genuinely don’t know, then we have to find out. If we do know then we have to take ownership.
