Enlightenment Lesson:
From now on, whenever a "vocabulary word" presents itself in your language, your speech, your thoughts, or conversations - STOP and ask yourself, "What does (fill in the blank with said word) mean?
Example: "I'm hoping 2016 is better for me than 2015!"
STOP and ask yourself... "What does hoping mean?"
(Don't look it up and don't ask anyone else.)
Only YOU know what YOU mean when you use the word hoping.
What did you mean? What other words could you put in that blank instead of hoping that would mean the same thing to you?
Challenging?
Damn right it is! This is a signal of how far away from YOURSELF you really are. So start walking...! And climbing.... and leaping.... and clawing.... and running.... and whatever else you need to do to get back to square one.
No worries, it could take some "time", but you've got all of that you need, just get to it.
But wait.... We're still not done with "I'm hoping 2016 is better for me than 2015!"
Now finish the assignment.
STOP and ask yourself... "What does better mean?"
Get it?
If not then you may not be ready for this kind of exercise.
But if so, then use this as an inner workout tool to get strong and sharp.
In this exercise, there is no right or wrong. It's only what you want and need, when you want and need it.
Learn to do this with all vocab words you begin to hear yourself using.
Be sure to LISTEN to yourself when speaking and when answering.
Be sure to pay attention to how the words, and answers, feel to you.
Use this tool and share it freely.
It is not a rule, regulation or law.
It is an inspiration.
