The secret 3-step process discovered in ancient philosophy that will help you learn, apply, and master any skill.
///thread///
Have you ever wondered how you can learn a subject in a way that really helps it stick?
Have you got lost in just learning and wondered why you couldn't seem to succeed?
Do you want a simple system that works?
Yes, well, this 3 step process will help you succeed...
If you want to be happier and improve your life quality, you should immerse yourself in subjects that you wish to learn more about.
Consistently engage with the right kind of information so you can continue to grow.
And use a system that allows you to learn new skills quickly.
What is this secret philosophical system?
It was developed from Stoicism and is:
Study - Practice - Teach.
You Study to learning and think about the subjects.
You Practice the learning of a subject to improve.
And when you Teach, you learn twice.
Seneca said of "Study"...
"If you apply yourself to study, you will avoid all boredom in life; you will not long for night because you are sick of daylight, you will be neither a burden to yourself nor useless to others, you will attract many to become your friends and the finest people will flock to you"
Seneca is talking about applying yourself to the study of a craft.
It doesn't matter what the craft is, but if you specialize in an area or several different areas, not only will you be useful to the people around you, but you will also be helpful to yourself in your own life.
Practice is about putting into action what you have studied.
Epictetus tells us...
"That's why the philosophers warn us not to be satisfied with mere learning but to add practice and then training. For as time passes, we forget what we learned and end up doing the opposite and hold opinions the opposite of what we should."
Epictetus is saying that learning is not enough; implementation must follow.
If you want to turn all that study into something more tangible, you must take action and put it into practice.
I would even go so far as to say this is the most critical step in this process.
Seneca had wise words about Teaching...
"Associate with people who are likely to improve you. Welcome those who you are capable of improving. The process is a mutual one: men learn as they teach."
If you surround yourself with others who want to improve, you will naturally help them, and they will do the same for you.
It's a teaching circle of direct and passive teaching, both of which are important and necessary for continued growth and development.
Study - Practice - Teach is a sequential theory.
You start with STUDY and learning.
So you can understand how to apply and then PRACTICE what you have learned.
Then you TEACH this knowledge, whether passively or directly, to others.
The ancient system will change your life.
Keep studying and finding subjects that interest you.
When you find something you want to know more about, practice it, and share your experiences, whether directly or by example.
Following these steps will help you learn, apply, and master any skill quickly.
Now go do it.

How to avoid the dark side of success and win for the right reasons.

Ask yourself:
Do you feel like you are constantly chasing the dopamine hit of a win?
Do you feel like you do things because of other's expectations?
Do you do things just to beat people?
If you answered yes to any of those, you could be in the Success Trap
Let’s take a look...
Behind every victory is the desire for the next one, and that can be a good thing if you have good goals linked to a purpose.
But maybe for you, every success just makes you want more.
In reality, there is no peak to success; the climb towards the next one can become addictive.
You love to make things complicated, and it's not your fault.
But you need to stop; let's find out how.

We are the cause of most of our complicated issues in life.
When faced with two competing options, we are more likely to choose the more complex option even if there is a simple choice available.
Welcome to complexity bias...
To beat it, you 1st need to understand why you do it
Complexity bias is our tendency to look at something easy to understand and then see it as having many difficult parts, or, we may view it as more complex while in a confused or stressed state
