What “I Don’t Know” Really Means

Why the phrase “I Don’t Know” really means that you know, but don’t want to say, how it hinders reaching our full potential and what to do to overcome it.

In this video coaching newsletter I discuss what it means when someone says “I Don’t Know” in response to a question, especially when asking people what they want out of life and what they want to accomplish. I sometimes hear this phrase during my coaching sessions from clients who have created a false story in their head about themselves and what they really want in life, but are stuck. I discuss what I say to get them past this self created mental block so you can use it to help yourself and those you care about to dissolve and move past false mental constructs that prevent us all from reaching our full potential.

“When you ask someone what they really want in life, what they really love or why their lives are not the way they really want them to be, and they respond with “I don’t know?” it means they know but they really don’t want to say. What keeps people from reaching their full potential in life is the story that they tell themselves. We create excuses that justify continued inaction, fear and doubt. People will do more to avoid potential pain than they will do to gain potential pleasure. The best way to help yourself or someone else to get past this self created mental obstacle, is to ask, “but if you had to guess?” Average people who don’t know any better can’t get past their limiting beliefs and the negative self created stories that they tell themselves to even examine or contemplate a plan of action to reach their full potential. Therefore, they never start. “If you had to guess?” cracks the door to considering possibilities and contemplating what could potentially work. To achieve what you really want in life you must first know what you want and then come up with emotionally compelling reasons why you want it. Then you can create a plan of action to make it a reality.” ~ Coach Corey Wayne
