REPLACE OBSOLETE EDUCATION WITH NEW KNOWLEDGE

REPLACE OBSOLETE EDUCATION WITH NEW KNOWLEDGE 

In the modern world, the traditional approach to education has become increasingly obsolete. The world is changing at a rapid pace, and the knowledge we need to thrive is evolving just as quickly. However, our educational system has failed to keep up with these changes. As a result, we need to replace obsolete education with new knowledge that is relevant to the needs of the 21st century.

One of the key problems with traditional education is that it is too focused on memorization and regurgitation of information. Students are expected to learn a set of facts and figures, rather than developing the critical thinking skills needed to apply that knowledge in real-world situations. This approach is simply inadequate in today's world, where new technologies and ideas are constantly emerging.

Instead, we need to focus on teaching students how to learn, rather than just what to learn. This means teaching them how to think critically, solve problems creatively, and collaborate effectively with others. These are the skills that will help them succeed in the jobs of the future, which will require adaptability and flexibility as much as technical expertise.

Another issue with traditional education is that it often fails to address the real-world problems that students will face in their lives. For example, many schools still teach outdated models of economics and business, which are no longer relevant in a world that is increasingly interconnected and globalized. To prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century, we need to teach them about topics such as sustainability, social justice, and entrepreneurship.

Fortunately, there is already a wealth of new knowledge available that can help us address these challenges. Researchers and scholars around the world are constantly uncovering new insights about how the world works and how we can make it better. We need to take advantage of this knowledge and incorporate it into our educational system.

Of course, this will require a significant shift in the way we think about education. We need to move away from the idea that education is something that happens only in the classroom, and instead embrace the idea that learning can happen anywhere, at any time. We need to use technology to connect students with experts and resources from around the world, and we need to create more opportunities for experiential learning and real-world problem-solving.

We cannot afford to stick with an obsolete educational system that fails to prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century. We need to replace it with a new model that is based on the latest research and insights. By doing so, we can help ensure that our students are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

WE LOST OUR WAY OF LIFE, DEATH OF THE OLD NORMAL

WE LOST OUR WAY OF LIFE,  DEATH OF THE OLD NORMAL

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a profound loss for all of us - our way of life or what we used to call "the old normal." The pandemic has forced us to change the way we live, work, and interact with each other. It has caused widespread grief and anxiety as we try to come to terms with this new reality.

In times of loss, it is common to go through the five stages of grief identified by psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. These stages include denial, anger, depression, bargaining, and acceptance. It is important to note that grief is a highly individual process and people may experience these stages in different ways and in different orders.

Denial is often the first stage of grief, where people may feel shock and disbelief that the loss has occurred. Many people initially denied the severity of the pandemic or underestimated its impact on their lives. However, as the pandemic persisted, it became clear that we were facing a significant loss.

Anger is the next stage, where people may experience frustration, anxiety, or even rage at the situation. People may feel angry at the government, other people, or even themselves for not being able to prevent the loss. The anger may be directed towards the virus itself or towards those who are not taking the pandemic seriously.

Depression is a natural response to loss and can be characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and lack of motivation. The pandemic has caused widespread depression and anxiety as people struggle to cope with the loss of their way of life. Many people have lost their jobs, their social connections, and their sense of purpose, leading to feelings of despair and loneliness.

Bargaining is the stage where people may try to negotiate or make deals with a higher power to try to reverse the loss. In the case of the pandemic, people may try to make deals with God or the universe to end the pandemic or to spare their loved ones from getting sick.

Finally, acceptance is the stage where people come to terms with the loss and begin to move forward. This stage does not mean that people are happy about the loss, but they are able to find a way to live with it and move on. Acceptance may involve finding new ways of living and working, developing new relationships, or finding new hobbies and interests.

The loss of our old way of life due to the COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread grief and anxiety. It is important to recognize that grief is a natural process and that people may experience it in different ways. By acknowledging and working through the stages of grief, we can find a way to move forward and adapt to this new reality. While the pandemic has brought about significant loss, it has also shown us the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit.

BEING RICH, POOR, HAPPY AND SAD DEPEND ON WHAT SETS OF BELIEFS I VALUE.

BEING RICH, POOR, HAPPY AND SAD DEPEND ON WHAT SETS OF BELIEFS I VALUE.

Our beliefs shape our reality and determine our experiences in life. Whether we are rich or poor, happy or sad, is largely dependent on the sets of beliefs we hold. Our beliefs influence our thoughts, emotions, and actions, and ultimately determine the outcomes we experience.
If we believe that success and wealth are only achievable through hard work and determination, we are likely to take actions that lead us towards those outcomes. On the other hand, if we believe that success is only reserved for a select few, we may not even try and resign ourselves to a life of mediocrity.
Similarly, if we believe that happiness is only attainable through external circumstances such as material possessions or a perfect relationship, we may find ourselves constantly chasing after things that never truly satisfy us. But if we believe that happiness is a state of mind that can be cultivated through gratitude, mindfulness, and positive thinking, we are more likely to experience lasting happiness.
It's important to recognize that we are the creators of our own reality, and that we have the power to change our beliefs and create a new reality for ourselves. By shifting our beliefs towards ones that empower us and align with our values, we can manifest the life we truly desire.

BALANCING EVERY AREA OF MY LIFE IS KEY TO MY HAPPINESS.

BALANCING EVERY AREA OF MY LIFE IS KEY TO MY HAPPINESS.
Achieving balance in every area of our lives is essential for our overall well-being and happiness. We are multi-faceted beings with various dimensions to our lives, and neglecting any of these areas can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction and unhappiness.
To be truly happy and fulfilled, we need to prioritize our health, wealth, relationships, and success. These four areas are interconnected, and neglecting one can have a negative impact on the others. For example, neglecting our health can lead to decreased productivity and hinder our ability to achieve success. Neglecting our relationships can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation, which can affect our mental health and overall well-being.
To achieve balance in every area of our lives, we need to prioritize self-care, set goals, and establish healthy habits. This means taking care of our physical and mental health, cultivating positive relationships, managing our finances, and pursuing our passions and goals.
Achieving balance is not always easy, and it requires ongoing effort and commitment. But the rewards of a balanced life are immense - increased happiness, fulfillment, and a sense of purpose. By prioritizing every area of our lives and striving for balance, we can create a life that is truly fulfilling and satisfying.

SELF - EDUCATION WILL MAKE YOU A FORTUNE FORMAL EDUCATION WILL MAKE YOU A LIVING

SELF - EDUCATION WILL MAKE YOU A FORTUNE 
FORMAL EDUCATION WILL MAKE YOU A LIVING
IF YOU WANT TO BE RICH,  FAMOUS AND HAPPY DON'T GO TO SCHOOL

While formal education may provide you with the necessary skills and knowledge to make a living, it is self-education that can make you a fortune. In today's fast-paced and ever-changing world, it is important to continuously learn and adapt to stay ahead of the curve. Self-education allows you to do just that, as it empowers you to take control of your own learning and pursue knowledge and skills that are relevant to your goals.

Unlike formal education, self-education is not limited to a specific curriculum or course of study. You have the freedom to learn what you want, when you want, and at your own pace. This allows you to focus on areas that are of particular interest or relevance to you, and to explore a variety of topics and fields that can broaden your horizons and enhance your creativity.

Moreover, self-education is not limited to traditional sources of knowledge such as books and lectures. With the advent of technology and the internet, there is a wealth of information available online that can be accessed from anywhere in the world. You can learn from experts in your field, connect with like-minded individuals, and even participate in online courses and workshops.

SEX IS NOT BAD, BUT VIOLENCE IS

SEX IS NOT BAD, BUT VIOLENCE IS

Sex is a natural part of human life, and it is a topic that has been discussed and debated for centuries. While some people may view sex as taboo or shameful, it is important to recognize that sex is not bad, but rather a natural and healthy part of human relationships. However, when it comes to violence, the situation is entirely different. Violence is a destructive and harmful force that can have serious consequences for individuals and society as a whole. Therefore, it is essential that we recognize the difference between sex and violence and understand why it is more important to ban or remove violence from media than sex.

Violence in media has become prevalent and normalized in our society. It is often portrayed in movies, TV shows, and video games, and it is frequently reported on in the news. The problem with this is that exposure to violence can have a negative impact on individuals, particularly children who may become desensitized to violent behavior or view it as acceptable. This can lead to a range of negative outcomes, including increased aggression, fear, and anxiety. Furthermore, violence in media can contribute to a culture of violence that perpetuates harmful behaviors and attitudes.

On the other hand, sex is a natural and healthy part of human relationships. However, it is often portrayed in a negative light in media, which can contribute to feelings of shame and guilt surrounding sexual behavior. This can lead to individuals feeling uncomfortable discussing sex openly, which can prevent them from seeking important resources and information related to sexual health. By removing the stigma surrounding sex and presenting it in a responsible and respectful manner, we can help individuals feel more comfortable discussing and engaging in healthy sexual behaviors.

One of the most significant benefits of presenting sex in a positive light is that it can contribute to healthier relationships and a more positive view of sexuality. When individuals feel comfortable discussing sex openly and honestly, they are more likely to engage in healthy communication with their partners. This can lead to more fulfilling and satisfying sexual experiences, which can have a positive impact on overall well-being.

In conclusion, while sex is not bad and should be presented in a positive and respectful manner, violence is a harmful force that should be banned or removed from media. Violence in media contributes to a culture of violence and can have negative impacts on individuals and society as a whole. By removing violent content from media and promoting healthy attitudes towards sex, we can create a safer and healthier society for everyone.

TEN ATTITUDE PROBLEMS

TEN ATTITUDE PROBLEMS

Attitude is a defining trait of human behavior. It determines whether we move forward or backward in life. Unfortunately, there are certain attitude problems that can hold us back and stop us from achieving our full potential.

First, blaming others for our own mistakes is an attitude problem that can prevent us from growing. It is important to take responsibility for our failures and look for ways to learn from our experiences. When we blame someone else for our mistakes, it not only presents an unprofessional image, but also shows that we are not willing to make improvements.

Second, complaining continuously is another attitude problem. It shows dissatisfaction with our lives and can lead to negative emotions that end up sabotaging our efforts to improve ourselves. By learning to be more content, we can avoid feeling disempowered and move closer towards our goals.

Third, focusing on our problems is an attitude problem that can stop us from achieving our potential. Instead of dwelling on our limitations, we need to focus on our strengths. By using our skills and talents in the right way, we can maximize our opportunities and achieve our goals.

Fourth, worrying too much is another attitude problem. It is important to trust our intuition but when we expend too much energy worrying, we can end up feeling stuck. It is important to remain determined and patient so that we can make rational decisions and maximize our resources.

Fifth, thinking like a loser is an attitude problem that can significantly dent our efforts to reach our goals. When we think like losers, we focus excessively on our setbacks, ignore our resources and lack the courage to take risks. It is important to learn how to think like a winner and use our resources to overcome obstacles.

Sixth, making money and fame our primary motivations is an attitude problem. If they become our primary goals, we can become obsessed and start ignoring relationships that are important in life. It is important to be focused while working towards our goals, but at the same time, stay mindful of the other things that are essential in life.

Seventh, holding grudges is another attitude problem. When we hold onto our negative views of others, it prevents us from moving forwards and leads to bitterness. Instead of grudges, cultivating love, respect and forgiveness for others can lead us to a path of emotional liberation.

Eighth, easily getting angry is another attitude problem. It is important to be conscious of our emotions and channel our feelings towards productive activities. Seeking out strategies to help us remain calm and maintain our composure will help us maximize our potential and reach our goals.

Ninth, always self-pitying is an attitude problem. When we indulge in it, we are essentially telling ourselves that we are incapable and unable to work towards our goals. 
Lastly, comparing self with others is an attitude problem. It prevents us from embracing our uniqueness and can also lead to family and societal pressure. 

THERE IS NO CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS BUT A CLASH OF LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS.

THERE IS NO CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS BUT A CLASH OF LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS.

The idea of a "clash of civilizations" has been a popular topic in international relations, suggesting that the world is divided into different cultural and religious blocs that are inherently in conflict with each other. However, this concept oversimplifies the complex nature of global conflicts, and fails to acknowledge the real underlying issue: a clash of levels of consciousness.

At its core, the conflict we see today is not a matter of religious or cultural differences, but rather a clash between those who have evolved to higher levels of consciousness and those who have not. Higher levels of consciousness include empathy, compassion, and a willingness to understand and accept others. In contrast, lower levels of consciousness are characterized by fear, anger, and aggression towards others who are perceived as different or threatening.

The truth is that people of all religions and cultures can evolve to higher levels of consciousness. However, the current state of the world is one where many individuals and groups are still operating from a place of fear and aggression. This is evident in the way they treat others who are different from them, whether it be through acts of violence or intolerance.

It is important to note that the evolution of consciousness is not a linear process. It is possible for individuals to move between different levels of consciousness throughout their lives. However, it is only through a collective shift towards higher levels of consciousness that we can hope to see a reduction in conflict and violence.

One way to encourage the evolution of consciousness is through education and exposure to different cultures and perspectives. By learning about and understanding others, we can begin to break down the barriers that divide us. Additionally, practicing empathy and compassion in our daily lives can help us to develop a deeper understanding of others and their experiences.

Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide whether they will operate from a place of fear and aggression, or from a place of empathy and understanding. By choosing to evolve to higher levels of consciousness, we can create a world where differences are celebrated rather than feared, and where violence and conflict are a thing of the past.

The idea of a "clash of civilizations" is a flawed and oversimplified concept. The real issue at hand is a clash of levels of consciousness, where those who have evolved to higher levels are in conflict with those who have not. However, it is possible for individuals and societies to evolve towards higher levels of consciousness through education, exposure, and the practice of empathy and compassion. Only then can we hope to create a world where peace and understanding prevail.

THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS IN THE UNIVERSE

THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS IN THE UNIVERSE 

My friend told me that this saying 
"Remember, you picked it all, your planet, country, name birthday, avatar, level of difficulty, etc. It was you all along..." pisses her off.. big time. and she wanted to know what she was thinking.

The saying "there are no accidents in the universe" suggests that everything happens for a reason and that we are in control of our own lives. This can be a difficult concept to accept, especially when we experience challenging circumstances or events that we did not consciously choose. However, understanding this principle can be empowering and lead to greater self-awareness and personal growth.

One interpretation of this saying is that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. Before we were born, we chose the circumstances of our lives in order to learn specific lessons and grow in certain ways. This could include choosing our parents, country of birth, and even the challenges we face in life. While it may be difficult to understand why we would choose to experience certain things, it is believed that these experiences are necessary for our spiritual growth and evolution.

Another interpretation is that we are co-creators of our reality. Our thoughts, beliefs, and actions shape our experiences, and we attract into our lives what we focus on. This means that if we constantly think negative thoughts, we are likely to attract negative experiences. On the other hand, if we focus on positive thoughts and beliefs, we are more likely to attract positive experiences. This principle is often referred to as the law of attraction.

Regardless of how one interprets this saying, the underlying message is that we have more control over our lives than we may realize. While we may not be able to control external circumstances, we can control how we respond to them. We can choose to see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning, rather than as obstacles to our happiness and well-being. By taking responsibility for our lives and our experiences, we can become more empowered and fulfilled.

However, it is important to acknowledge that not everything that happens in life is within our control. There are certain circumstances, such as natural disasters or accidents, that are beyond our control. In these situations, it is important to focus on what we can control, such as our response and attitude.

In summary, the saying "there are no accidents in the universe" suggests that we are in control of our lives and that everything happens for a reason. While this can be a difficult concept to accept, it can also be empowering and lead to greater self-awareness and personal growth. By taking responsibility for our lives and our experiences, we can become more fulfilled and live more meaningful lives.

WE ARE WHO WE ARE BECAUSE OF OUR BELIEFS

WE ARE WHO WE ARE BECAUSE OF OUR BELIEFS

Here is a list of beliefs that many of us Filipinos unconsciously might believe in.
These beliefs are not unique to Filipinos, as many people around the world hold similar beliefs. However, it is important to recognize the impact these beliefs can have on our lives and the society we live in.

One common belief that many Filipinos hold is the belief that they are not good enough. This belief can lead to feelings of low self-esteem and self-worth, which can have a negative impact on mental health and overall well-being. It can also lead to a lack of motivation and a reluctance to pursue personal goals and dreams.

Another belief that many Filipinos hold is that life is a constant struggle, and that there is no justice in this country. This belief can lead to a sense of hopelessness and helplessness, and can make people feel powerless to change their circumstances. It can also lead to a feeling of resentment towards those who are perceived to have an easier life, and can foster a culture of blame and victimhood.

Beliefs about money and wealth are also prevalent in Filipino culture. Many Filipinos believe that money is the root of all evil, and that the rich are abusive and corrupt. This belief can create a mindset of scarcity and distrust, and can lead to a reluctance to pursue financial success. It can also lead to a sense of resentment towards those who are financially successful, and can create a culture of envy and entitlement.

Beliefs about sex and sexuality are also common in Filipino culture. Many Filipinos believe that sex is dirty, and that certain sexual acts, such as oral sex, are only acceptable for prostitutes. This belief can lead to a sense of shame and guilt around sexuality, and can create a culture of secrecy and repression.

Finally, many Filipinos hold religious beliefs that can be limiting and disempowering. Beliefs such as "God is a punishing God" and "I am only human" can create a sense of powerlessness and resignation, and can lead to a reluctance to take responsibility for one's own life and actions.

The impact of these beliefs on Filipino society is significant. They can create a culture of negativity, victimhood, and resignation, which can make it difficult to create positive change and progress. They can also lead to a lack of personal responsibility and accountability, which can make it difficult to address social issues and problems.

To overcome these limiting beliefs, it is important for Filipinos to challenge them and replace them with more empowering beliefs. Beliefs such as "I am capable and worthy," "life is full of opportunities," and "I am responsible for my own life" can create a mindset of abundance, possibility, and personal power. By adopting these beliefs, Filipinos can create a culture of positivity, growth, and progress, and can attract more positive karma as a people.

WHAT EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT (EQ) IS ALL ABOUT

WHAT EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT (EQ) IS ALL ABOUT

In the 21st century, emotional intelligence is becoming increasingly important in many areas of life. With the rise of automation and technological advances, people skills such as empathy, communication, and teamwork are becoming more valuable in the workplace. The ability to understand and manage one's own emotions, as well as the emotions of others, is essential in building and maintaining healthy relationships, both personally and professionally. Emotional intelligence also plays a crucial role in effective leadership, conflict resolution, and decision-making. In a world that is becoming more interconnected and diverse, emotional intelligence is a key skill that can help individuals navigate the complexities of modern life.
 
Emotional Quotient (EQ) is a measure of a person's ability to understand, manage, and express their emotions effectively. It is an important aspect of emotional intelligence, which encompasses a wide range of skills and abilities related to emotions. EQ is often referred to as "people skills" or "soft skills," and it is becoming increasingly important in many areas of life, including work, relationships, and personal development.

One aspect of emotional intelligence is affectional intelligence, which refers to a person's ability to give and receive affection and love. This skill is essential in building and maintaining healthy relationships with others, whether it be with family members, friends, or romantic partners. People with high affectional intelligence tend to be warm, loving, and empathetic towards others. They are able to recognize and respond to the emotional needs of those around them and are skilled at communicating their own emotions in a positive way.

Another aspect of emotional intelligence is mood intelligence, which refers to a person's ability to manage their own moods and emotions effectively. People with high mood intelligence are able to regulate their emotions in a healthy way, which helps them to cope with stress and anxiety. They are also able to shift their moods quickly, which is an important skill in many situations, such as in the workplace or in social situations. Being able to shift one's mood quickly can help to diffuse tense situations and create a positive atmosphere.

Finally, motivational intelligence is another important aspect of emotional intelligence. This refers to a person's ability to set and achieve goals, and to stay motivated even in the face of challenges and setbacks. People with high motivational intelligence are able to focus on their goals, stay positive, and take action towards achieving them. They are also able to inspire and motivate others, which is an important skill in leadership and teamwork.

By developing these skills, individuals can improve their relationships, their productivity, and their overall well-being. If you are looking to improve your EQ, there are many resources available, including books, courses, and coaching programs. With practice and dedication, anyone can improve their emotional intelligence and achieve greater success and happiness in life.
 

DON'T DO THINGS JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE ADMIRED, ACCEPTED AND HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM

DON'T DO THINGS JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE ADMIRED, ACCEPTED AND HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM

Don't hope to achieve certain things like social status or approval from others. We should recognize our purpose and individual vision. We each have a unique contribution to make and potential to improve ourselves. By focusing on our personal growth and fulfillment, we can live out our purpose and make a positive impact.
 
Many people spend their lives chasing after external validation, hoping to be admired, accepted or held in high esteem by others. They believe that these things will bring them happiness and fulfillment. However, this is a flawed approach because external validation is fleeting and can be taken away at any moment. Additionally, it is not a sustainable source of happiness because it is dependent on the opinions of others.

Instead, we should  focus on our inner vision and purpose. We are here for a reason, and it is up to us to discover that reason and live it out. Our contribution, enhancement, and expansion are unique to us and cannot be replicated by anyone else. When we focus on living out our purpose, we naturally attract the right people and opportunities that align with our vision.

Living out our purpose requires courage and self-awareness. We must be willing to let go of societal expectations and trust our inner voice. It may require us to take risks and make unconventional choices. However, the rewards of living out our purpose are immeasurable. We experience a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction that cannot be found in external validation.

Believing in oneself is a crucial component of achieving success. When you possess a strong belief in your abilities, you are more likely to take on challenges with confidence and perseverance. This conviction can help you maintain focus and motivation, even when faced with setbacks or obstacles. With a clear vision of what success means to you, you can establish specific goals and create a roadmap to achieve them. Having a clear understanding of your desired outcome can help you stay on track and make decisions more effectively. When you believe in yourself and maintain a clear vision of success, you are better equipped to overcome challenges and achieve your goals.

Don’t hope to be admired,  accepted or held in high esteem. Know that you came here with a vision for yourself. It challenges us to shift our focus from external validation to living out our inner vision. When we do so, we experience a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction that cannot be found in external validation.

QUO VADIS OPM?

QUO VADIS OPM?

The music industry has undoubtedly become over-commercialized, and this has resulted in a lack of originality and creativity in the songs being produced. Even songwriting competitions have failed to generate fresh and innovative music because of a focus on being radio-friendly and appealing to the masses. Until the industry is willing to take risks and challenge the status quo, it is unlikely that we will see much progress in the Filipino music scene.

It is clear that money is the primary concern for many in the music and broadcast industries. This has led to a reliance on formulaic music that is guaranteed to be popular with audiences. However, this approach has stifled creativity and made it difficult for new and unique voices to be heard. As a result, the music industry has become stagnant, and the same tired songs are played repeatedly on the radio and in music bars across the country.

Interestingly, despite the lack of originality in the music being produced, Filipino bands and singers have gained popularity throughout Asia by performing cover songs. While this may be a testament to their talent as musicians, it also highlights the lack of confidence in producing original music. Instead of taking risks and experimenting with new sounds and styles, many artists choose to play it safe by sticking to what is already popular.

This is not to say that local artists are entirely to blame for the current state of the music industry. The industry as a whole must take responsibility for the lack of originality and creativity in the music being produced. It is up to the industry to create an environment that encourages innovation and experimentation.

One way to achieve this is by providing more opportunities for up-and-coming artists to showcase their talents. This could be done through more music festivals, concerts, and other events that promote new and emerging artists. Additionally, radio stations and music bars could be more open to playing and promoting original music rather than relying on the same tired playlist.

In conclusion, the over-commercialization of the music industry has resulted in a lack of originality and creativity in the songs being produced. Until the industry is willing to take risks and challenge the status quo, it is unlikely that we will see much progress in the Filipino music scene. However, by providing more opportunities for new and emerging artists and promoting original music, we can create an environment that encourages innovation and experimentation and ultimately leads to a more vibrant and exciting music industry.

OUR REAL POWER IS OUR FREE WILL

OUR REAL POWER IS OUR FREE WILL

Our ability to make choices is one of the most powerful tools we possess in this world. Free will, the ability to make decisions and choose our own path, is what sets us apart from other creatures on this planet. It is what gives us the power to shape our lives in whatever way we see fit. Every action we take, every decision we make, has consequences that can either lead us towards happiness or unhappiness.

If we choose to be unhappy, every area of our lives will reflect this. Relationships will be strained, health will suffer, wealth will be elusive, and success will be hard to come by. Negative thinking can create a self-fulfilling prophecy, where our beliefs and actions lead to the very outcome we fear. We may find ourselves pushing away friends and loved ones, neglecting our health, and making poor decisions that lead to financial troubles.

On the other hand, if we choose to be happy, the opposite will happen. We will attract positive energy and good things into our lives. Our relationships will be stronger, our health will improve, and we will find success in our pursuits. Positive thinking can create a virtuous cycle, where our beliefs and actions lead to the outcomes we desire. We may find ourselves attracting new friends and loved ones, taking better care of our health, and making sound financial decisions.

Of course, it is not always easy to choose happiness. Life can be challenging, and we may face obstacles that make it difficult to maintain a positive outlook. However, it is important to remember that we always have a choice. We can choose to focus on the negative and let it bring us down, or we can choose to focus on the positive and let it lift us up.

Ultimately, our real power in this world is not in our wealth, status, or material possessions. It is in our ability to make choices. We have the power to shape our lives in whatever way we see fit. We can choose to be happy or unhappy, successful or unsuccessful, healthy or unhealthy. We can choose to take responsibility for our lives and make the choices that will lead us towards the outcomes we desire.

Our free will or ability to make choices is a powerful tool that we possess. The choices we make have a profound impact on every aspect of our lives, from our relationships to our health to our finances. If we choose to be happy, we will attract positivity and good things into our lives. If we choose to be unhappy, we will attract negativity and struggle. The power to choose is always in our hands, and it is up to us to use it wisely.

OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM WOULD RATHER INDOCTRINATE THAN DEVELOP THINKING CRITICALLY

OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM WOULD RATHER INDOCTRINATE THAN DEVELOP THINKING CRITICALLY 

Critical thinking, creative thinking, and divergent thinking are essential skills that enable us to question, analyze, and evaluate information and ideas. However, in our society, these skills are often discouraged or suppressed, particularly in areas such as religion, politics, and relationships. Moreover, the educational system tends to prioritize indoctrination over the development of critical thinking skills. As a result, many people accept beliefs and ideas that directly impact the quality of their lives without questioning their validity or usefulness. 

One of the reasons why critical thinking is discouraged or suppressed in our culture is that it challenges the status quo. People tend to cling to familiar ideas and beliefs because they provide comfort and a sense of identity. However, critical thinking requires us to question our assumptions and beliefs, which can be uncomfortable and destabilizing. In addition, some institutions and individuals benefit from promoting certain beliefs or ideologies, which can lead to the suppression of alternative perspectives and ideas.

Religion is one area where critical thinking is often discouraged or suppressed. Many religious institutions promote a particular worldview and discourage questioning or challenging their teachings. This can result in blind adherence to dogma and a lack of critical engagement with religious ideas. Similarly, in politics, people often align themselves with a particular ideology or party without critically evaluating their positions or policies. This can lead to a lack of robust debate and compromise, which are essential for effective governance.

In relationships, critical thinking is essential for healthy communication and problem-solving. However, societal expectations and norms can suppress critical thinking by promoting conformity and discouraging individuality. For example, gender roles and expectations can limit people's ability to think creatively and divergently about their relationships and roles.

The educational system also plays a significant role in the suppression of critical thinking. Many schools prioritize memorization and regurgitation of information over critical analysis and evaluation. This approach can lead to a lack of curiosity and a reluctance to question authority or established ideas. Moreover, the emphasis on standardized testing can discourage creativity and divergent thinking, as students are expected to conform to a particular set of expectations and rules.

After school, individuals are left to decide whether they are in charge of their thinking or if their thinking controls them. Unfortunately, many people accept beliefs and ideas without critically evaluating them, leading to a lack of awareness and agency in their lives. This can result in a range of negative outcomes, from poor decision-making to a lack of personal fulfillment.

Critical thinking, creative thinking, and divergent thinking are crucial skills that enable us to question, analyze, and evaluate information and ideas. However, in our culture, these skills are often discouraged or suppressed, particularly in areas such as religion, politics, and relationships. Moreover, the educational system tends to prioritize indoctrination over the development of critical thinking skills. As a result, many people accept beliefs and ideas that directly impact the quality of their lives without questioning their validity or usefulness. It is crucial to prioritize critical thinking in all areas of our lives to promote individual agency, personal fulfillment, and effective decision-making.

WE ARE THE ONES WHO CREATE OUR DESTINY

WE ARE THE ONES WHO CREATE OUR DESTINY 

Life is a journey that is full of twists and turns, and it is up to us to navigate through it with purpose and intention. It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that our destiny is predetermined, and that we are merely uncovering what has already been set in motion. However, this perspective overlooks the fact that each of us has the power to actively produce and shape our own future.

While it is true that some aspects of our lives are beyond our control, such as our genetic makeup or the circumstances we are born into, we still have agency over how we respond to these factors. We can choose to let them define us, or we can take responsibility for our own lives and actively work towards shaping our own destiny.

This process of actively producing and shaping our own future requires us to take ownership of our actions and decisions. Each day is an opportunity to make choices that will impact our lives in the long term, and it is up to us to make the most of these opportunities. Whether it is choosing to pursue a particular career path, starting a new hobby, or making a difficult decision that will impact our relationships, every choice we make has the potential to shape our future.

It is important to note that even when we are not consciously aware of it, we are constantly crafting our own reality through our actions and decisions. The choices we make, big and small, have a ripple effect that can impact not only our own lives but the lives of those around us as well. By taking an active role in shaping our own future, we are also contributing to the collective future of our communities and society as a whole.

In order to actively produce and shape our own future, it is important to have a clear understanding of our goals and values. Without a sense of direction, it can be easy to get lost in the chaos of daily life and lose sight of what truly matters to us. By taking the time to reflect on our goals and values, we can make more informed decisions that align with our vision for the future.

Life is not about merely uncovering what has already been predetermined for us, but rather about actively producing and shaping what is to come. Each day is an opportunity to construct our own reality through our actions and decisions. By taking ownership of our lives and working towards our goals with purpose and intention, we have the power to shape not only our own future but the future of our communities and society as a whole.

BY DISCOVERING OUR DIVINITY WE TAP INTO SOMETHING GREATER THAN OURSELVES.

BY DISCOVERING OUR DIVINITY WE TAP INTO SOMETHING GREATER THAN OURSELVES.

As human beings, we have a natural inclination to seek purpose and meaning in our lives. We want to feel like we are making a difference, that our existence matters, and that we are contributing to something greater than ourselves. One of the most powerful ways to achieve this sense of fulfillment is by serving humanity. By using our unique talents and abilities to make a positive impact on others, we can not only generate wealth and success but also experience a deep sense of satisfaction and purpose.

The first step in serving humanity is to ask ourselves, "How am I best suited to serve?" This question requires us to reflect on our own strengths, passions, and talents. It may be helpful to ask ourselves what we are naturally good at, what we enjoy doing, and what we feel drawn to. For some, this may involve working directly with people, while for others, it may involve creating something that benefits others.

Once we have identified our unique talents and abilities, it is important to put them into practice. This may involve seeking out opportunities to volunteer, starting a business that addresses a particular need, or simply finding small ways to make a positive impact on those around us. The key is to take action and use our talents to serve others in whatever way we can.

In doing so, we may discover our divinity. When we use our talents to serve humanity, we tap into something greater than ourselves. We begin to see that we are part of a larger whole, and that our purpose is to contribute to the betterment of society. This realization can be incredibly powerful, as it can help us to feel more connected to others, more compassionate, and more fulfilled.

Moreover, when our creative expressions match the needs of our fellow humans, wealth will spontaneously flow from the unmanifest into the manifest, from the realm of the spirit into the world of form. This means that by serving humanity with our unique talents, we can also generate wealth and success. However, it is important to remember that the focus should always be on serving others, rather than simply achieving personal gain.

Serving humanity with our unique talents and abilities is one of the most powerful ways to find purpose and fulfillment in life. By asking ourselves how we are best suited to serve, putting our talents into practice, and focusing on the needs of others, we can not only make a positive impact on the world but also experience a deep sense of satisfaction and purpose. When we align our creative expressions with the needs of others, we can generate all the wealth that we want, but the true reward is the joy that comes from serving humanity.
