Got it?

What does it mean, when someone says, “I got it”? Does that mean I know how and am capable of doing it? Rather, could it mean, “leave me alone I can do this”? Maybe, I do not want your help? Is this not something we learn to say as we strive for independence, at a young age?

What things do you do well?

Are the things we do well our strengths? Are the things we enjoy reflective of our strengths? Do we really know our strengths? What are the benefits of knowing our strengths? How can we determine our true strengths? What is the best way to maximize strengths?

Veracity?

Has truthfulness gone out of style? Is it irrelevant in today’s world? Is it ok to say anything, true or not, if it sounds good or fits your perspective? Will this philosophy become more pervasive in the future?

Thoughts?

Do we freely choose the thought on which we are focusing? If so, how do we select that thought? Why do we select that thought? Do some thoughts seem to kidnap our mind and take off with it, without our conscious approval?
