In order to find your mental strength,
your spiritual connection to the universe, learn everything you can about all
the things you are interested in knowing about. Don’t stop learning about those things until you know all you
want to know. What does that mean? It means that if you hear about something or
see it on television and like it, research the subject, usually starting with
the internet. Find books, magazine
articles, newspaper articles, and videos.
While there is information on social media sites including Youtube and
blogs, it is better to rely on academic works or published books and articles
because many blogs and videos are meant to be just entertainment and opinion.
ALWAYS, check what you read on the internet against at least one or two other
sources. Once you’ve read
everything you can find that discusses the subject, make sure you understand it and can describe it in your own
way, in your own words. If you
can’t your work is not done yet. Keep
studying looking for experts on the subject, reading their work. Find news
programs like 60 minutes or one of the morning shows and find interviews or
segments about the topic. Keep going until you truly learn about your subject.
For me, I found that some things are not written in easy-to-understand language
or do not clearly describe the subject.
In this case, keep researching until you find it. Go to a library, ask a
librarian to recommend books or articles on the subject. It’s exhausting, but it’s worth it.
The key is…and this is HUGE…..don’t
stop learning or trying to learn about your subject until you do understand it.
Never give up the pursuit of knowledge. It is the only TRUE power. Everything
else is fleeting. That doesn’t mean you have to know everything. Knowledge of
even one thing, your favorite music, food, movie, anything, is your power. So if knowledge is power, then power is
strength. Strength is what defeats your insecurity. Strength or confidence, as
I call it, is the thing that will help you enjoy anything you have to overcome
or learn and make you want to improve or learn more. It’s a very attractive
character trait.
You don’t have to be borne with it.
You do have to develop it by putting effort into learning and gaining knowledge
about things you like or love.
So do it. Do it now. It becomes habit.
The more you do, it, the more you want to do it.
So how does this connect you
to the Universe? When you are seeking knowledge about something you truly like
or love, you are being as true and as real as a human being can be. You are experiencing the joy of your
true self. In that moment you are
connecting to a larger force, a force which is funneling all knowledge to you. This force is the source of all things.
This force is the Universe. The
Universe is supporting you in your search for knowledge, your search for the
power within you and ultimately, the search for your true self and your higher
purpose. Just try it.
