Concepts That Define Us

Click Here to Get All Podcast Show Notes!

Have you ever thought about the way you use words? Why do you use a certain word to describe something? Do you give careful consideration to the words you use daily? 


Concepts and words are often used interchangeably. Sometimes, the word comes first, and you have to search for a concept to go with the word. Other times, it's the other way around. 


Sometimes, we use a word casually without clearly understanding what it means. But each word we use and the concepts that go with it gives a picture of how we view the world.


Today, Sharran shares thirteen concepts and their meanings. Once you understand what each word means and start defining the words you use, you will see the world differently because “The limits of our language are the limits of our world.”



“When we know the definition of the words that we're using, and we can share that definition with others to illuminate them, to give them insight into our thinking, it dramatically changes how we live, how we love, and how we feel.”


- Sharran Srivatsaa
