To succeed more often and fail less, it’s necessary to consider and make use of four gnostical filters:
1) The paradigm of happiness;
2) The paradigm of totality;
3) The paradigm of peace;
4) The paradigm of love.
If these four epistemological-perceptive patterns are properly used, with balance; one will certainly be in an excellent path toward goodness, in a route endorsed by the Divine Flux.
However, one must be daring. When we are called out, by the voice of the conscience and of the ideal, to execute something, it urges that we realize it, even without having full confidence we can make it well. And who could claim such level of certainty about one’s excellence? Wouldn’t full certainty indicate presumption? Who is absolutely qualified to perform any role? Every professional makes mistakes, no matter how responsible and capable he is. As much as the person is prepared, always something remains out of their studies, their training, that only practice will confer upon them, in terms of having learned – even because practice, itself, is the most transforming, brilliant and profound form of knowledge; only experience conveys the title of “expert” to someone, in any area of knowledge.
