I want to bring your attention to an important distinction: the difference between knowing something conceptually and truly living it.
Often, when reading the various advice and reflections shared here, it seems as if those writing them fully embody these ideas in their own lives. However, there's a fundamental gap between understanding a concept, talking about it, or sharing it, and actually living it with consistency.
Many times, after grasping a concept, people believe they've already integrated it, as if rational understanding alone were enough to make it a part of themselves, and one acts on it. But there's a significant difference between knowing something and truly seeing through that lens in an organic way.
This dissonance is also fueled by the belief that we are what we think we are, which can be misleading, as our conceptual self-image often doesn't align with who we truly are. It’s a subtle phenomenon, happening right in front of both the person experiencing it and those around them—yet it often goes unnoticed.
I bring this up because I feel it’s something that isn’t discussed enough, yet it’s present everywhere, not just here. Being aware of this dynamic can make a real difference. Surround yourself with people of integrity—those whose thoughts, words, and actions are in alignment.
P.S. Don’t take this message at face value—contemplate it, and most importantly, experience it for yourself.
Here are some of Leo's videos to help you comprehend it better:
