There are guarantees in life including opportunities, challenges, and choices. Each new day is a new trek, with new opportunities, challenges, and choices. Gaining knowledge helps us gain clarity and manage our opportunities and challenges, and make better choices.
Three main ways to gain knowledge...
1. Take action, and do what you can with what you know and have.
2. Think about topics, or how situations might work out.
3. Gain knowledge from other people.
New knowledge from other people can be considered as shortcuts, and save you years of personal experience. But you still have to do the work. The information age is a great opportunity, and it is for you.
Our natural skills could be considered as natural opportunities, or opportunity skills. The more we grow them the more likely we are to attract human made opportunities.
The authors of the many books listed on this website could be considered as clarity collaborators, or virtual mentors. Their books are ready to help you with knowledge to gain clarity and pursue your goals. Many local libraries not only have the physical copy of many of these books, they might also have the digital audio version you can rent and listen to, for free with the Libby app.
Studies show that people are more likely to achieve goals if they actually write them down and review them regularly. Applying knowledge with a Goal Plan can increase focus and productivity.

Knowledge pays the best interest (Ben Franklin).
Almost anything you want to achieve or overcome, someone has done it and shared how they did it, in a book, podcast, or video. Many "secrets" are openly waiting for you to find them. Most of the following growth pages include lists of the best books, podcasts, and YouTube channels for that area of growth.
