Why Everyday Personal Common Sense Is So RARE?

 

One might, think, since we hear, references, on an ongoing basis, to using, common sense, we would witness, far - more, evidence, and use, of it! In fact, it often seems, common sense, is, anything, but, and, unfortunately, an extremely, RARE behavior, etc! After, over, four decades, of, attempting to help people, in this direction, both, by consulting, and conducting many hundreds of, personal development seminars/ programs, I have witnessed, this, many times. Although, there are, probably, many reasons, for this, when it comes, to how, we proceed, forward, and, behave, etc, often, depends, on a combination of factors, attitudes, etc. With, that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, what this means and represents, and why it matters.

1. Reality: Do you perceptions, and reality, align, or, do you proceed, with, a pie - in - the - sky, unrealistic way, which gets in the way, of proceeding, in the most sensible manner? After - all, how can anyone, proceed, with common sense, unless/ until, they have a firm concept/ idea/ handle, of reality?

2. Attitude; attention; aptitude; avoidance: It generally, takes, a positive, can - do, attitude (but without the trap, of wearing, rose - colored - glasses), to consider, thoroughly, a variety of viable, options and alternatives, for the better! How can anyone, become, the best, he can, unless/ until, he consistently, pays keen attention, to using common sense, for his best interests? In addition, one must commit to, and maintain the personal discipline, to thoroughly, effectively, develop, and learn, the best way, to use, a relevant aptitude, and skill - set! Unfortunately, too may people, revert to avoidance, denial, and procrastination, when they need to proceed forward, in an effective way!

3. Relevant; responsible: Just doing something, rarely, achieves the best personal results, and/ or, direction/ path! It is important, to fully consider, and base one's plans, on relevant factors, and proactively, proceed, forward, always avoiding the temptation, to procrastinate! Only, then, will our behavior, be personally, responsible, and responsive, to our best interests!

4. Enthusiastic/ eager; energized; emphasis; easier: How will you ensure, you proceed, forward, in an enthusiastic manner, and a personal, eagerness, to be, as happy, and fulfilled, as possible? Will your actions, be energized, and energizing, etc? How might you determine your personal emphasis? Will you do, whatever, possible, to make your life, easier, and less stressful, etc?

Since, everyday, common sense, is so RARE, what will you commit to, to make things, proceed, as well, as possible? Are you up to the tasks?
