    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.

    “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.

    Use discipline and critical thinking. You can gain time to gain options to gain dominance and then you’ll be in a position to exercise mercy and ethics. But it all starts with discipline and critical thinking. Musings, Volume 1, available on Amazon Kindle:  Musings, Volume 1 Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here:  Vol. 1 on Kindle.  Vol. 2…

    If you can’t dominate the problem, then dominate the opportunity to learn from it.  Articulate exactly how you failed, what you’ll do differently next time, and get to work. In the short term, admitting/addressing fault is an uncomfortable-as-hell bitch-slap to the ego, but in the long term, as successes mount and perception clears, it feels…
