Start by learning to recognise what interests you.
Most people have been taught that what they notice
doesn’t matter.
So they never learn how to notice,
Not even what interests them.*
Verlyn Klinkenborg

We must reserve a back room, wholly our own and entirely free, wherein to settle our true liberty, our principal solitude and retreat.**
Michel de Montaigne

The person who notices and
reflects and
acts
is preparing for an enthralling life.
