Tasting the cake

To get the most out of this website, it’s best to try out the ideas rather than just reading about them. If you don’t give the ideas a chance to prove their value, the ideas will only remain as ideas, with limited benefit to you. It’s a bit like wanting to taste a chocolate cake. However much you stare at such a cake, you would not experience its delicious taste.

On the other hand, if you move one of your arms, use a fork to take a portion of the cake, bring it to your mouth, and start eating it, you will experience its fabulous taste. In other words, you need to make an effort to taste the benefits.

The same concept applies to the ideas on this website. “Taste” the ideas and see for yourself whether they are beneficial to you. 

Often, at the beginning of learning a skill, you need more energy than when you are fluent with it. When you first learn to ride a bicycle, it takes a lot of energy, and there are many falls. But once you are familiar with riding a bike, it becomes effortless. Similarly, extra effort is needed when first learning to use a mental tool. As you master the method, its use will be automatic and require minimal energy.

So, I invite you to bite into the ideas on this website and taste the benefits!
