Our thoughts about many things are marked first and foremost by vagueness (lacking clarity).
Our intellectual muscles are by nature weak.
Our initial reactions to things are frequently of the order of reaction rather than action.
We have pronounced positive or negative feelings towards something but struggle to say more.
We say things like:
I want to be creative
I like big business
I’m having mixed feelings (if there is ever anything of such)
He annoys me
These reports might be true, but they are not very high-quality items in terms of self- knowledge.
They’re not accurate enough to help guide action.
It’s not that they are wrong, the problem is they are too vague - they lack clarity.
They don’t get to deal with what is really the issue.
They circle in the big, general territory but don’t land anywhere specific.
This isn’t a personal problem. It’s universal.
The first reports from our conscious minds are just by nature horribly unclear – and in need of sustained analysis.
Your default setting when you arrived on planet earth was never of creativity nor excellence.
It's your responsibility to nurture your thoughts and actions to grow in this manner.
Thank you!
