THE ART OF BEING PROPER

The blog has been quiet the past couple of weeks beside the random book recommendations. This is, of course, because it takes time to create great things.

That being said I need to rewind to a couple of my first posts and bring the commitment and approach back in the mix. Because the art of being proper means and entails that you find the balance and act accordingly. This is not at all as far fetched as it may sound; far from actually. If you have a proper way of thinking, a proper way of living and a proper way of acting well, then you have the proper fundament in life.

The proper way of thinking can be summed up pretty easily - to think for yourself, think positive thoughts and think as creatively as possible.

The proper way of living, however, is a little more tricky as this has to be fundamental rather than subjective. So the proper way of living, with fear of sounding redundant, would be to live with respect for all things living and breathing. In our modern days this is far from happening, so maybe it's the perfect time to step back a few steps and re-think a few things. In any case, and in order to add to the fundamental value of living, it has to be as simple as that really.

The proper way of acting should be the natural extension of living and for that reason alone not that difficult to sum up. To remain as objective as possible it has to with acting (and reacting) according to your surroundings, your emotion, your environment and your evolution/process.
In order to make it proper it would necessarily mean that an open mind is required. If a person is fully able to adjust to changes and development in life and at the same time capable of transcending emotional reactions then the fundament appears intact. 

This is just excerpts of a long essay I'm looking to include in my forthcoming book (work title: "Ageless Thinking") that will be published next year. In this book I will include and elaborate on the entire list of entries you find posted on this blog.
