This
probably is one of the most unexpected and controversial advise that I would
give, but this is the one I breed my children with, and this is among the most
important life advises that I wrote in “The way to the summits is made out of common
sense” (“La route des Sommets est celle du bon sens”, under publication).
Actually, giving value to one’s brain is not only attending high school,
high-standard or expensive trainings. Letting people make money out of your own
ignorance is not what I consider as the most intelligent system in the world. Furthermore,
though I deeply recommend going as far as possible in studying (which is one of
the best ways of structuring our brain cells)-, there are thousands of other
ways of feeding our brain, like reading, exchanging with some experts,
observing nature, etc.
As
a matter of fact, I noticed that the longer the study cycle, the farther the
sense of reality and the connection to inner dreams. And thought this may sound
contradictory, it nevertheless is the case, at least for a majority of people.
It
actually is vital to use and explore the most parts of our brain in all the
possible ways through studies, working on our memory, trying or playing music,
playing chess, looking for some quizzes, etc. But it is this much important to
develop your sense of discernment. It is one thing to get instruction and
another thing to get common sense. In this purpose, better not take any
affirmation as gospel truth, even (especially) when it is supported by a
“scientifically proven” indication.
Our
holy earthly mission is to deepen and to enrich all the things that we are
called to read, to hear, to see, to learn, to know in our own special way, through our own personal
deduction and life experiences. We actually are the only ones able to evaluate
what information we can “feel” right or wrong. And only our self empowerment in
the deal will allow us to reach our own Truth.
Furthermore,
learning to let go in a day-to-day mindset is another rich way of feeding our
brain, but most of all our soul.
I
am not advising to stop making plans and to stop drafting visions and
objectives. Plans and visions are what lead us ahead to build our dreams. I am
rather talking here about not taking things and life too seriously. Because
just letting loose, looking at the sky, watching the birds fly, feeling the
rain mud going through our bear footed toes without trying to know if this is
Darwin or God’s creation, and not worrying about what tomorrow will bring, is
as much important in terms of well-being and success reaching than any
expensive or qualified training or coaching course you will attend.
Yes,
sometimes, leaving some fundamental questions unanswered, not trying systematically
to get a scientific evidence for one fact or another is a proof of
intelligence. As a matter of fact, no one on earth will ever have all the
answers we are looking for at the right time we need it. Only our inner part is
able to give us the answers we are looking for, provided we give it room and
space for it.
So
relax, breath, smile like an happy stupid fool. Because that is what life also
is. ©
