Musings
As time goes on, we’ll inevitably be exposed to importance and significance (from a human perspective). But instead of waiting for life to deliver revelations, we can be proactive; we can parse our experience and tie patterns together. We can weave phenomena into a brilliant tapestry that speaks to our souls. Pick whatever label you…

Musings
It pays to examine yourself on a daily basis, and prune away any lies that have surreptitiously festered within your perception. Although it’s initially uncomfortable, it becomes increasingly easier to laugh at them as they fall from their perch. The alternative is way more unpleasant. If they’re allowed to grow into a giant tower, it…

If you’re honest about your desires and the reasons behind them, you can pick who you want to be like, who you don’t want to be like, and work out a rough idea of where you want to go. But all that depends on being honest with yourself. Without that, you have no idea of…

There’s a huge difference between those who cling to simplicity, and those who can simplify. The first group will avoid ambiguity, even though it holds great adventure and great rewards. The second group can blaze a trail for others to follow, and benefit the collective through critical thinking. Musings, Volume 1, available on Amazon Kindle: Musings,…

“Knowing your shit” is being able to explain why you’re doing what you’re doing, why it’s better than the alternate courses of action, and using your reasoning to outpace the competition. It sounds straightforward when it’s written like that, but knowing why you’re doing what you’re doing means you have to know yourself—STUDY yourself—to see…

For maximal context when describing a particular person, you would have to account for every quantum interaction that influenced that person’s behavior and the experiences they went through. That’s impossible, so the real question becomes: what’s the best way to convey the theme/message? That’s where writing becomes an art. Perceiving what is pertinent, and funneling…

There’s a good reason why we’re encouraged to state truth in our own words: it means we’ve integrated that knowledge into our being, and can now express it through a unique perspective. We’ve all been exposed to ignorant people who constantly mouth the words of others. That’s a glaring clue they’re averse to self-examination, and…

In the beginning, it is largely about knowing the rules. We’re all familiar with that phase. But at a certain point, it becomes less about knowing the rules and knowing yourself. That knowledge is deeply rooted, and fundamentally connected to others’ behavior; it makes the reasoning behind “the rules” readily apparent. When you continue expanding…

It’s better to direct the flow while we can, rather than wait for overwhelming pressure to build up and force it into the right direction. That way we can ride the currents. If we constantly procrastinate, we risk drowning. Musings, Volume 1, available on Amazon Kindle: Musings, Volume 1 Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here: Vol. 1…
