Understand the Fundamentals!

Life has become ever more complicated in our world of amazing digital connection and access to information.

Never before have we had so much power in the average individuals' fingertips..

With this power comes a great responsibility and duty.

The duty to yourself. To take care of your mind. If you aren't introspective and you don't constantly examine your own mind and look for ways to improve it, then you will get lost in the noise.

“Never overlook the power of simplicity.” Robin S. Sharma

The power of simplicity relates to this very strongly.

To keep your mind simple, focus on learning the fundamentals. When you do this, you will find a clarity of mind that cannot come from the constant barrage of "new" (a.k.a. news) information.

A focus on the fundamentals may be on the fundamental skills of life.

It may also be on the fundamental truths and advice of life.

Stoic philosophy rings nicely with this idea, in my opinion. The value of ancient knowledge is far greater than most people realize! That knowledge has passed through generations... Hundreds, even thousands of years and that knowledge, out of all knowledge, is one that survived all this time and remained coveted.

That's power.
