There are a lot of skills and strategies and tactics for navigating our lives, and a lot of people and programs and groups who are itching to have you adopt their way of doing things.
But the most important, but overlooked and neglected skill we can develop is the ability to think and judge for ourselves.
If we want to make the most of our lives, and have lasting fulfillment in our personal and professional world, we have to make the conscious choice to evaluate what is real and trustworthy and of value to us. We cannot simply let someone else decide our beliefs and dictate or force our chosen direction for us.
We cannot forget to rely on what is within us to do this. Yes there are all sorts of technologies and voices and opinions and reports and statistics and reviews that can act as evidence of what is being claimed to be good and true and real, but its all worthless if we can’t learn to take all of it and use the innate human capability to discern and make our own judgement calls on things, based on the evidence available to us.
Two steps:
- Be aware that every human has this unique gift of an internal compass.
- Pay attention to how yours works, and practice keeping it calibrated and in tune. (Usually a combination of feelings, physiology, and seeking good information)
