Carl Jung once said : “Only the paradox comes anywhere near to comprehending the fullness of life.”
And I agree.
That’s why I’ve compiled this list of 16 paradoxes as they honour the complexity of life and showcase its nuance.
1. The Growth Paradox
Growth seems to happen gradually, almost imperceptibly at times, and then all at once.
The way bamboo grows is one of the best examples of this.
Bamboo can barely be seen for the first five years as it builds extensive root systems underground. Then it explodes ninety feet into the air within six weeks.
Our own personal and professional growth can follow a similar trajectory. The growth paradox reminds me to be patient.
2. The Persuasion Paradox
Have you ever noticed how the most argumentative people rarely persuade anyone of anything meaningful?
Persuasive people don’t argue – they observe, listen, and ask thoughtful questions instead. They live a life of authenticity and curiosity and that’s enough to inspire change.
“Persuasion is an art that requires a paintbrush, not a sledgehammer”
3. The Productivity Paradox
Working longer hours doesn’t always mean getting more done. Often it can be the opposite. This is the productivity paradox and perhaps Sam Ewing summed it up best when he said..
“It’s not the hours you put in your work that counts, it’s the work you put in the hours.”
4. The Fear Paradox
Oftentimes, the thing we fear most is the thing we need to face.
Until I confronted my fear of being seen and heard, I lived with anxiety for 20 years. It was only when I went into my fear that I could begin to set myself free. It’s scary but I saw how suppressing it was affecting my mental health and stunting my growth so I decided to obey..
