hello fellow out of the box thinkers, students, teachers, and every other description of people around the world. Why everybody? Because everybody is a learner.

Why did I learn this?

Im not sure if you noticed the large gap of time where I didn’t post anything, but it’s certainly there. 6 weeks I’ve been out of the running. It’s becaus I’ve been down with a “mono like virus”. No it’s not mono, yes it seems to act exactly the same, no I will not elaborate.

What I do know is that it sucks, and has been keeping me from school for a long while now. Which is the reason that I have learned so much about myself and life in general these past weeks.

F. R. U. E. T.

This acronym stands for Failure, Recognition, Unleash, Execute, Truth

It is what will guide my life here on out. It is the process that one will take to reach a so called AHA! moment, or any important realisation.

Failure

I have had a lot of down time lately, enough time to scrutinize most parts of my life at least twice over. This practically squeezed my brain dry of thought juices, and I preferred not to think about it… but that’s exactly what I did wrong. As soon as I started to think about my life, the worse it would seem (yes it got depressing) but it got to a point where I had twisted it so much that I no longer recognized my own life.

Recognition

I started realizing that I was skipping over large happy times in my life just so that I could feel more sorry for myself. I was purposely forgetting the good that came from me learning from the bad, and I made it seem like I had not learned a thing, and I never shall. It took weeks to get to this point, but I realized that this was a load of lies. So i decided to stop.

Unload/Unleash

One day I decided that I would stop feeling sorry for myself, and that I would pick myself up, and start caring for myself as if it were a normal day. I was feeling super drowsy and had been all day, it was New Year’s Eve. I decided that even if I was tired I would wake myself up and get back on the ball.

I walked into the washroom, yawning but determined, I would have the coldest shower of my life. As I turned the water on, I felt myself retract and retreat from the cold, new feeling. I stepped forward and felt the cold drip down my back, washing away my self doubt and pity. Washing away my comfort zone, my safe warm bed, my slumbering mind now free. And I feel infinite!

Execute

Not only is this the part where you kill what was once, to give room for what is and what will be. This is the time where you take the promises you realized that you need when you unleashed, and you execute those promises well. You place them in your life and you carry out those tasks well. You execute your life, a project, a research lab, a relationship, you execute your will, and you do it right.

Truth

As you realize things about whatever you are recreating for yourself, I believe the most important part about leading anything is to remain truthful. Truth telling no matter the context will always lead to trust, others trusting you, your research, your company, your relationships, your integrity. Truth is the ultimate moral compass, and it will surpass all other wrongs and rights.
