The first rule of sharpening your mind is to be an alert and sensitive observer. Assume nothing. If it can’t be observed, it’s not true. Never act on blind faith. Whenever something sounds too good to be true, it almost always is. Refuse to be swayed by emotion when it conflicts with reason.

Observation is the genesis of all knowledge and progress… and is the first and last step of every thinking man’s tool - The Scientific Method. All science and most progress is built on the Scientific Method (most non-scientists use it by accident). The steps are

1) OBSERVATION. Gathering and rationally organizing facts. This is where most people fail.

2) INDUCTIVE REASONING. Forming a hypothesis - or a generalization of facts held to be true.

3) EXTRAPOLATION. Making a projection or prediction based on the hypothesis in areas you didn’t yet observe.

4) OBSERVATION. A test for the hypothesis to see if it works.

Do you give time to yourself?

The time we spend with ourselves is the time of inner connection. To improve this connection, we need to participate in things that relax our minds and give us inner joy.

People often complain that they are too busy to find time for themselves. They find time to do everything else, but when it comes to their health and wellbeing, they blame it on other priorities. While we all have priorities in life, unless we ease our minds and bring inner comfort, life will always remain hard.

Give yourself quality time, rest your mind, keep away from the digital world and bring yourself closer to nature. Go for a walk, read, involve yourself in recreational activities or just sit silently. The little moments you spend with yourself bring bigger positive changes in life.
