  “Your life is a natural process that transcends different stages of development and growth.  In your journey of life, you'll always need to attain a level of comprehension and understanding befitting the stage of life you are at.  As the human world around you evolve, and brings along different lifestyles and new challenges, you cannot just continue to only rely on what you've always known or done.  This is what the wisdom teachers foresaw when they advised that "if you keep on doing the same things the same way, you'll always get the same outcome".  When it comes to advancing your life, such an approach will never work for you.    Many times, when your life feels stuck, it's because you got into another stage of life but never learnt something new and different to help you move forward in life.  It's either there's a snippet or chunk of knowledge you lack.  Remember, that was then when you learnt what you know, and this is now when yo...

  “The ability to enhance the quality of the experience of life lies in creative thinking .  Such is the foundation to productive education, arguably the truest form or epitome of real education.  Simply defined, true education is when you embark on a learning process to acquire new knowledge to enhance your level of understanding, and you proactively apply your understanding to create solutions that meet your needs.  When you have relevant knowledge your creative and innovative thoughts become energized, and you'll be set to improve the quality of your experience of life.  This way, your whole life has a chance to move ahead and get better than it is.  Remember, creative thinking is how the earliest form of humans managed to set us on the ascendancy of civilisation, from stone age through the agricultural, industrial, and technology revolutions , as well space age .  If you truly want to advance your own life, you'll have to ignite your creative thin...

  “The teachers of wisdom advise thus, ‘if you would like to have something you've never had, you're going to have to do something you've never done".  To do anything though, effectively and productively, you must first know, because "knowledge is power’, and the power of knowledge is to create the future you desire.  The latter, being that something you want and have never had.  To know anything then, so you have the power of knowledge, to do something you've never done, and ultimately have something you've never had, you must learn the right lessons about how to get it” First Things to Stepping Up for You >> Stepping up for you means, firstly, recognising that you have a limited moment to live or to be here on Earth as a human being, and secondly, putting significant effort to ensure that you make the most out of your moment.   You obviously want to live a greatly inspired and joyous life , with a lasting memorable experience.   To get there howe...

  “You probably know about this, that once upon a time, humans believed that the earth had a flat horizontal base.  Thoughts prevailing then were that if you travelled all the way to the horizon, you would simply fall over.  However, early voyagers and explorers, centuries ago could not make it to the horizon.  They nevertheless provided knowledge on the possibility to travel to far away places than the earlier limiting thoughts.  Fast-forward that to the Space Era , humanity now knows about a vast Universe extending far beyond Earth and into infinity.  Imagine if we, as humans, didn't utilize the ability we have to learn   and change our views about what is.  Chances are we could still be confined in one place for fear of falling over the horizon.  Now, consider your own limitations in life, and how much of that is possibly a result of you not embarking on a knowledge-seeking voyage.  Just as the earlier explorers demonstrated, whe...

  “On any given day, whether at work or in life in general etc., how well you'll succeed in accomplishing what you need is determined by what you understand and know about the task or challenge before you.  In other words, and with little to no alternative, life demands that you know about what you desire, and not just think about it.  In addition, and perhaps even more critical, life also demands that you understand how to make your desires a reality.  Certainly, your only critical path to meeting the demands and needs of life lies in the learning process” Welcome >>   Imagine a world where all citizens have the possibility to celebrate and enjoy life to the fullest as desired, without the unfortunate proliferation of bloody, destructive, and wasteful conflicts and wars, which sadly are a normal practice in modern human lifestyles.  Is such an imaginary joyous world a possibility really, you may wonder, given the world we live in today is so devo...
