sometimes (always actually) patience is the best tool, patience brings answers when thoughts are cleared, not cluttered with what we want instead of what is true. sometimes (more often than not) in our search for answers we tend to be biased with what our expectations or desires to find are. so we tend to twist or mold, cast away things we dont like and keep what we think will lead to what we want as an individual, not what just "is"..... this crosses over to, or leads into other topics/questions that are commonly asked by people such as "how to hone, or strengthen abilities.". which are all good valid questions, but most people dont want or care to start with the boring stuff....lol... learn compassion, empathy, be patient, lose the ego, the judgmental views. etc.... but all that is a much deeper topic/discussion...lol.... so yeah, simplified version, just live life. take the time to look up and see the sky, notice the colors of the world, not just the green of a tree, but every shade of green, or blue or whatever................................... and get a puppy. he will teach you all you need to know
