Minbari Mondays, The Fall of Night, and Risks — Inspiring Critical Thinking and Community via Books, Lessons, and Story

Tempo

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

O tempo tem um “estalo preciso” que nos deixar desejosos do momento anterior, do presente e futuro. Através dele nos transformamos em pessoas fortes, verdadeiras e composta de muitas histórias. O cuidado que devemos ter em relação ao passar dos ponteiros? Não ser tomados pela ignorância, pela vaidade, pela distração. Um minuto perdido, e ele nos lança no exercício do desejo de querer recuperar o que já não podemos.

O tempo é um professor exigente! Além da náusea do que não queremos recordar, ele também é gentil quando nos coloca diante da nossa própria consciência. Sim, às vezes, o ser humano insiste em ser guiado por uma consciência cega ( sem esforço) mas diante de suas próprias carências, o tempo torna-se um amigo persuasivo, e mostra-lhe o quanto a pessoa permanece perdida em seus devaneios. Então, diante desse impasse, o tempo nada mais faz do que conduzir aquela pessoa a…

Slice off the top. Carefully take a sharp, pointy knife and cut around the core, being careful NOT to cut a hole […]

1. Practice Self-Awareness

If you want to know your personal growth, you need to be aware of yourself and the environment around you. When you are aware of where you are and what is around you at any given time, you will stay focused on the present and not be afraid of the reality around you.

Without self-awareness, it can be hard to measure your personal growth, and you are prone to lying to yourself about your feelings, actions and habits.
