2 Brains better than 1...

Today, I heard many no-brainers or motherhood statements such as "If you don't know something, it does not mean it does not exist", "AND is better than OR", "you can have the things that you are passionate about", "yes or yes", "you can do it, if others can do it"...

Many of these we know when know, and quite often we don't know what we don't know, until we know. And when we do know, we sometimes ask ourselves since we do know, why does it take reminding for us to practice it?

Here is where 2 brains are better than 1. We need each other to help remind us of the things that are important. The act of "bringing things from the back of our mind (knowledge), to the front of our mind (ie consciousness)" is key to putting into practice what we already know. That's why sometimes, we pay others to tell us the time from our own watch.

It is ok sometimes to marvel at the obvious. Even commonsense can be uncommon sense.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
