The Gate of Insight

I AM…

… +50 years old man from Finland – the land of a thousand lakes. I have studied Master of Business Administration. As English is not my mother tongue, there will be many misspellings and grammar faults in these texts but try still to understand “the big picture” of the content. I hope you still will get my message – your insight – when you read these short stories.

I’ve never studied psychology at all, so when you read my stories, I can’t promise that everything is correct. Of course, I have read a lot of books on self-development and therefore I hope I can still give you something to think upon. My thoughts come from these books, but I can’t say exactly from which book I have borrowed any specific idea. I will put a separate page where you can find a list of books that I have read – there is not all of them – so this list of books contents books, that I find important to me and my growth. My insights come from these books. Now when I write about my insights, I hope that you will find it easier and faster to understand these things than I did. Nowadays, when you read things online, you must be critical of the correctness of things and therefore you should also be critical to my writings.

At the same time, you also should be ready to believe before you “see it”. Occasionally there are situations when I ask me why I didn’t see or understand these things earlier. However, when the time is ready, the teacher comes to you. When you are ready to learn something new, then you will come across opportunities from which you can learn these new things. So, if my texts are not what you find interesting, even if somebody had recommended them – skip them. Don’t waste your time reading them even if they are very short. Then this is not what you should learn – out there is something more important for you to learn.

Life is full of pleasures and good feelings – even without any drugs. I want to live without drugs. I want to be me. Control myself and be happy and enjoy life just the way I am – with all my faults. Too many fear that others will see our bad faults. Everyone carries a heavy burden because they have not the courage to be themselves. Usually, other people like those who can truly be themselves – authentic. This is a journey where I hope we together will learn new things. Hopefully you will get many new insights during this journey and you will be able to bring them to your life, making you happy. Let say making you understand what happiness is.

I ask you to read one writing a day, thinking what it really means in your life. Read the story as many times as you want on the same day. You can always return to this short text because you may find something new in the texts following it that will give you an insight and you will easier understand also this text. These texts are short so that everyone can concentrate on it whole time when reading. Give yourself time to read these texts in peace. Read the text again and again. So, you get your own insights on these important things. All the texts are roughly as short as this. At some point when I write from my “books”, they can be little longer.

I wish you many enjoyable readings and good insights!
