It is a shame we were taught so much about so many things and yet, during our decades of education, most of us received no education on ‘Insight’.

We should fix that shortcoming…for ourselves…better late than never…and for future generations…better now than later.

Time to get started – an introduction –  the following is an excerpt from Charles Haanel’s ‘The Master Key’, a course presented in 1912 and formulated into a book in 1917.

"Insight is a faculty of the mind whereby we are enabled to examine facts and conditions at long-range, a kind of human telescope; it enables us to understand the difficulties as well as the possibilities in any undertaking.

Insight enables us to be prepared for the obstacles which we shall meet; we can therefore overcome them before they have any opportunity of causing difficulty.

Insight enables us to plan to advantage and turn our thought and attention in the right direction, instead of into channels which can yield no possible return.

Insight is therefore absolutely essential for the development of any great achievement; with it we may enter, explore and possess any mental field.

Insight is a product of the world within and is developed in the Silence, by concentration."

Some questions to consider:

Are we born with Insight?

Can we improve our Insight?

How do we nurture Insight?
