The Three Areas of Self-Awareness: What On Earth Are You Thinking?

What On Earth Are You Thinking? What is External Self-Awareness? Most people think about self-awareness the same way they do sex. They believe they’re great at it when, in reality, no-one knows where on God’s green earth the G spot is (or that there even is one). One of the major components for building self-awareness is understanding what other people honestly think about us (including our ability … Continue reading The Three Areas of Self-Awareness: What On Earth Are You Thinking?

Stuck in the Clouds: An Aviator’s Guide to Pointless Overthinking

When I follow my thoughts in this way, I find it euphoric. I often derive my best writing doing so. This is all well and good when my thought train takes me on a pleasant … Continue reading Stuck in the Clouds: An Aviator’s Guide to Pointless Overthinking

Between a Rock and a Hard Place

The other night I got into a pointless argument with someone after they decided to leave a comment on one of my older posts telling me that I should have my head examined.

Thinking versus Acting

Yes, we do both, but what is the percentage? How much of your thinking turns into acting and how helpful is that for you? Do you need to think more before you act or you need to act more based on your thinking? Both influence your world, but in two different ways. It’s a tough world out there and only one of the two aspects … Continue reading Thinking versus Acting

|| Right, Wrong and Zero ||

we never know what is right and what is wrong. They’re just the scales. Whatever you think, whatever your perspectives are, they all are right, but also they all are wrong. So, all the rights and wrongs cancel each other, we get the net result, a Zero. Continue reading || Right, Wrong and Zero ||
