Practical thinking is simple once you get the hang of it, but it seems complex if you haven’t even started on the path of practical thinking and common sense. This article may take several reading times to fully understand, but like common sense, the principle is simple to master once mastered. Thinking practically with common sense can be the most creative and productive type of thinking if it is thought correctly and is not boring at all. Sure, in fact, life and existence to be genuinely creative, must have meaning before it can be genuinely creative. That is a key concept of practical or common sense thinking. In fact, the mastery and journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and ends with knowledge or the final step towards the destination.

The entire mastery really requires practice, repetition, and full conscious and unconscious understanding of a subject. If mastery only took the first time or “beginner’s luck” then there would be no point in anything, mastering anything or even learning. To put it well: everything rational is a learning curve that leads to realization. Everything irrational is an unlearning curve that leads to misery. I will explain the concept: rationality and happiness are desirable emotions. Irrationality and sadness are undesirable emotions, even for those who say they don’t want to feel fulfilled or happy. In fact, we can honestly say that fear drives those statements, in which fear is an irrational and undesirable emotion that is genuinely tied to sadness. In fact, I can honestly say that fear is the opposite of mastery and all desirable emotions. Fear is impractical when you really want to get things done. Genuinely practical thinking requires the utmost courage, to keep going even when it “seems” like it won’t work. To change a focus and be genuinely adaptable and creative when you need to change focus.

Being in love with focus, even when it doesn’t work, is the most genuine opposite of mastery. In fact, being adaptable and doable is the last type of mastery. Being willing to work, being willing to think, being willing to live honestly is a kind of mastery. If it were not so, even the most skillful person would never know what to do, and there would be pedagogical or learning infinities, that is, we would never learn what to do, there would always be a nagging question about what to do, and non-compliance. Practicality boils down to self-certainty and an honest recognition of reality. In fact, “the reality of the situation” is a phrase I always use, and a phrase that underpins all my communications, articles and all. There is no exception here, nor will there be any exception in any of my articles.

Reality is what it is, we can all agree on that as a realistic axiom. We exist, therefore we must live. We must take action, as well as take appropriate action. That is what makes practical thinking so important to life and existence. Of course I can take this article and complain about anything that doesn’t agree with me on this point. But seriously consider what impractical thinking accomplishes. Nothing productive. Nothing that harmonizes with the reality of the situation. Nothing that works. The last practical thought is to take cognizance of everything that really works in all forms, senses and genuine realities. Reality is what it all comes down to, and the point of all power is here and now. The future and the past must be kept carefree in ideal and perfectly practiced practical thinking. But also, as I said in other articles, perfection is not a real condition, but only a yardstick for life and existence. So all we can all do is our best, nothing more, nothing less. That is, focus on today’s “cold hard cash” as much as possible and adapt as best you can. Controlling yourself is not just an overused bromide, it is the reality of the situation. Self discipline, same thing, absolutely. Life is as good as disciplined, self-sufficient, self-controlled and practical. I didn’t say antisocial, but those four things: disciplined, autonomous, self-controlled, and practical. Nothing else matters except that relationship with yourself and with everyone else rationally. That is the reality of all situations.
