Misunderstandings are powerful. A different POV can find a different solution, sometimes a better solution. Big fan of the 'Medici Effect' that says breakthrough innovation occurs when we merge ideas from separate domains. Most people would say "You misunderstand, you can't apply Psychology, Biology, etc. into domain Economics, Technology, Philosophy", and yet that 'misunderstanding' is where the most innovation happens.
Or, of course, maybe I've had a misunderstanding on where you were hoping I'd go with this comment and post. Yet I still benefitted. I still learned something/had an insightful idea. What a powerful misunderstanding :)
This is exactly what I was hoping for - and by that I mean you left a comment. Once you leave a comment, any comment, I'm free to misunderstand it in an empowering and workable way. Of course, I also have an empowering misunderstanding for anyone who doesn't leave a comment.
I love where you are pointing regarding innovation. People often say that "necessity is the mother of invention", and it occurs for me that "coincidence is the father". Misunderstandings, including from the merging of different domains is a powerful possibility for coincidence. Thanks for sharing your learnings - ie misunderstandings. Perhaps "learning" is just a another way of saying "workable misunderstanding"?
I like how you include “knowing what you’re up to” in the expanded system here. It is the access to creative energy and flow I used to lose whenever I declined to choose what I was up to. I say right on and write on!
