The art of thinking clearly…

What skills or lessons have you learned recently?

I started collecting books last year since I have decided to get back into writing, I indeed need to collect things that could fuel my desire. I don’t want to leave and throw away writing ever again, this has been my thing since I was young and up until now. It helped me a lot, clearing my head and building a bridge to the world that I chose to get into.

Friends…

My friends found out, I used to be discreet with my pieces. Things do change though, at this moment I want to develop this writing enthusiasm into a burning desire in which a goal is set. They started finding ways to support my passion and provided me with books. Not to mention, books that are quite famous and great. Let’s admit it, collecting books is not easy as well. Some of them costs a hefty. My new found friends just found a way to help me fuel my desire without me having to think of whether or not I should buy the book or save money. Well, I still am going to collect the books that I have read. I already had collected few.

This one very book…in particular

The Art of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli is his very own journal of how he’s going to take things into his life. How he’s planned to manage his stuff in life turned into a best-seller book! I was curious that I could feel myself thinking deeply, realizing and reflecting on every page. Those words written are and have been carved and engraved in my entire being before I even got a hold of that book, some issues remained unsolved and a lot has been applied.

Lesson, Skill?

I have realized, in particular. The more you get awareness about your self, your behavior and your attitude. The way you treat people and the way you treat your self. Leaves an impact which eventually, and certainly contributes to the development of you, your entity, your well-being, and your all. It’s the most impo

rtant skill and lesson one should and must learn, may sound simple but takes a battle to get through it.

Self-awareness! We listen to our ego and pride, we listen to just one side of us. Most of the time, we make decisions based on our emotions, well…humans are humans. It’s a given, in love, career, friendship, family etc., with self-awareness. It allows us to be us, to be true. Admit mistakes and accept corrections, we allow growth. Not unless…we just let wrongs be our rights and we refuse learning from each mistake.

I, my self, is still learning. I know that I can never master and turn my self into a flawless being. But, with the lessons I learned from my mistakes I get to develop a skill.

To be more aware, not conscious, not paranoid….

I am still learning, and I will continue to learn. You see…there is no age or time limit to learn things, it just takes courage and will to learn.
