What Would An Uncorrupted Child Say? [Questioning A Persona Technique]

When you want to know the truth,
ask yourself the above question.

When In An Argument, Try To Help Your Opponent Strengthen Their Own Argument

"When In An Argument, Try To Help Your Opponent Strengthen Their Own Argument, For In Doing So, You Ultimately Strengthen Yourself, You Ultimately Elevate Both Of You."

When you are having an argument or a disagreement with someone,
try an unorthodox thing,
try to help your opponent make their argument even stronger.

You are pitted against each other.
You are arguing your point,
they are arguing their point.

It is you against them,
they against you,
both of you are trying to convince the other that your own point is right.

But...
why not try an unusual thing,
why not try to help your opponent,
your adversary,
your opposite,
further develop their own argument,
make their own point stronger,
strengthen the reasoning behind their presentation...

====

Perhaps you might believe this is undercutting you,
undermining your own authority,
detracting from your own position,

,but,

Perhaps you are actually helping yourself too.
You are getting to know your opposite's position better.
You are getting to think as they think.
You are helping them to feel better about themselves.
You are coming to appreciate that they are also a thoughtful human being.
You are coming to realize, perhaps they are not so different after all,
that what they are saying, is not so different after all.

If Things Don't Inspire You, Don't Invest Them With Value

"If Things Don't Inspire You, Don't Invest Them With Value."

Things are important, if things aren't important, if things don't inspire you, don't invest them with value, for doing so is a betrayal of yourself.

School : The Waste Of Time

As children we are unfairly taught that what we are learning in school will avail us in our lives and that we must place great value on what we do there.

Since, in truth, adults remember nearly nothing of what they learned during their schooling years, this is really quite unfair.

Trust Yourself

It's up to you.
Only you know you.
Trust your feelings.
Let them guide you.

Don't Betray Yourself

When something doesn't feel important,
don't convince yourself it is.

It's not easy.
This is a world of,
"Life is tough"
"In life you have to do a lot of things you don't want to"
and
"That's just the way it is"

Don't listen to them though.
Trust yourself.
Trust your feelings.
You know what's real,
You know what's important to you.

Give Yourself Time. You'll Get Used To It | Wait For It. It Will Come

"Give Yourself Time. You'll Get Used To It."

"Wait For It. It Will Come."

When faced with the prospect of having to do something unpleasant,
give yourself time to get used to it.

When you are placed in proximity to something unpleasant,
something which repels you, revolts you,
staying near it,
sticking with it is a terribly unrewarding thing.

But...
All in life has in it the seeds of learning.
All in life has splendour and wonder and significance in it.

If you give yourself the time,
you will eventually come to feel it,
and it won't be so bad,
in fact,
it might be quite something special.

Truly,
there is significance in all things.

Bloody Noses And Black Eyes Are Acceptable For Being True To Yourself

Don't be afraid of a bloody nose or a black eye if you are being true to yourself.
People are clumsy.
People are in pain.
Since they cannot express themselves carefully, elegantly,
they flail about like a wounded dinosaur,
and will likely wound you in their pain-provoked rampage.

Just present your truth to people and if they punch you for it, accept this, let it fill you with energy.
You presented your truth and they attacked you for it.
Perhaps you will be angry.
Perhaps you will want to hide.
I don't know, but, whatever happens you will have been given energy from :
1. Expressing yourself truly
2. Having received an honest response from another even if it was painful

Present Your Truth To Others, And If You Are Rejected For It, Use The Rejection As A Source Of Energy

"Present Your Truth To Others, And If You Are Rejected For It, Use The Rejection As A Source Of Energy, For You Presented Your Truth, Thus, You Were True To Yourself, And If You Are Rejected For Presenting Who You Truly Are To Others, Then There Is Nothing For It But To Redouble Your Efforts To Being True To Yourself And Showing That Truth To Others Until One Day, You Are Accepted For Who You Are."

====

"The World Will Constantly Ask You To Be Someone You're Not,
Your Obligation To Yourself Is To Stand Firm, And Not Let The World Take Away Who You Are."

Don't despair.
Humanity is going to turn the corner and finally begin acting true to its noble, loving, generous nature.
Just a little more struggle to go...

It's People, Not The Profession, That Matters

"It's People, Not The Profession, That Matters."

"Seek People, Not Professions."
