The paradox of the Landmark Forum, in my view, is that the course has one see blind spots about themselves and life that they didn’t realize, while at the same time the content of the Landmark Forum isn’t anything that you don’t already know. Usually, however, what we already know doesn’t make very much difference. You may know that you need to exercise more and eat less to lose weight, but this doesn’t make any difference – it’s when you see the impact of what you’ve been doing that you’re suddenly moved to take action on what you already know.
It’s in this context that I relate a few points from a blog post that I read recently where a person shares what they got out of the Landmark Forum. What’s interesting is that they said they already knew these things – and yet it made a big difference. Here are few things they saw about life that they ‘already knew’:
1) We can’t change who our family is – it’s futile to wish for a different one.
2) You can’t change anyone.
3) There’s no perfect partner out there – anyone could be ‘the one’.
4) Life is unpredictable!
