No one can teach you how to build a unicorn, no one can teach a plant how to grow
No one can teach a plant how to grow. The information is inborn, it can only be awakened. No one can teach you how to be wealthy, how to fall in love, how to heal, how to be happy, how to be fulfilled, how to strive, foresight, resolve, fortitude and so on.
The complete information you need for a lifetime was born with you from the first day, and they’ll continue with you till the last. You just need to be awakened to them. No one can teach a plant how to grow.
To awaken poetry, one must be taught the language. To awaken a unicorn, one must learn to build products and teams. To awaken victory, one must learn to fight.The student of truth must not be lost in the learning, but must always remember that the end goal of learning is to unlock the feature already inside.
The end goal of absorbing nutrients and sunlight is to unlock the tree inside. No one can teach a plant how to grow.
You see? Anyone can learn to run all the race in the world, but Usain Bolt can only be unlocked. Anyone can learn to roar, but the lion can only be unleashed. Anyone can learn to write all the languages in the world, but great authors can only be unlocked.
During my fighting career, we discovered early on that a man cannot be taught how to fight. He can only be taught how to kick, strike, duck, counter and so on. The fight itself comes from within the fighter. The music is within the musician. The art is within the artist. The unicorn is within the unicorner.
The tree is within the seed, no one can teach a plant how to grow.
The tiny seed contains within it the full information of how to become a tree! The information it needs to grow from stage one till it becomes a huge tree and produce other tiny seeds, what to do in winter and what to do in summer, what to do when heavy winds blow and what to do when it loses a branch. Everything is inside that tiny little seed. No one can teach a plant how to grow.
You did not have to learn how to breathe, how to smile, how to crawl and walk. All these came with you and from within you. The knowledge of walking was already there that is why babies come with legs designed for walking. Their muscles and bones aren’t just strong enough at first, so they have to gradually unlock walking. No one can teach a plant how to grow.

As kids, we used to look inward to unlock new features, but too much external and formal education while growing up make us forget this most powerful and purest source of information — our own selves.
Adults who already know how to speak at least one language find it hard to learn another even with all the translations and studio materials, but have you ever wondered how a baby with no previous language learns to speak their mother tongue? You see? The language was within the child all the while so after a little practice they unlock it and start speaking it even before their vocal cords are fully developed. Why do most adults try to learn new languages instead of unlocking it? They forget how they did it the first time. There are two types of programmers, those who can unlock new languages and platforms overnight and those who can take forever to learn one. No one can teach a plant how to grow.
Do not be like that seed that spends its life trying to learn from other seeds how to grow. Every seed’s story is different. It would be a grave mistake for a mango seed to try learning how to grow from a vegetable seed.
Some years ago, a number of knowledge-hungry scholars gathered around an ancient master and asked him “When will the kingdom of God come?”, The master was recorded to have replied: “The Kingdom of God is within you!”. This makes a true student think again. No one can teach a plant how to grow?
Bottom line, you have all you need, you just need to look inward and unlock it. You can take all the startup and incubator courses in all the cities in the world but if you do not let them unlock the billionaire in you, you will end up a startup discussion expert, a digital debate professional, an intercity tech photographer. No one can teach you how to build a billion-dollar b’iness, the full information is within.
Pause awhile, look inward, read your own manual and see if there are any new features you can unlock.
