About Me — The Cynical Guru
The Cynical Guru’s mission is to help people by explaining how Cynical Theory, Science, Logic, and Common Sense helps individuals survive and prosper in the Cynical Age. The Cynical Guru (TCG) is Gary Bozek’s alter ego and an evolutionary step as a writer.
History
You are your history.
- Gary Bozek (1999)
Everything that has happened to you in your PAST contributes to the person you are TODAY.
You are the accumulation of all the positive and negative traumas you’ve had throughout your life. Who you are today is a result of all the experiences you’ve had.
A self-aware individual recognizes that they are not the same person as a year ago. A truly self-aware individual also recognizes the significant events that have shaped their personality.
Self-recognition is the key to growth as an individual.
Overcoming our baggage can only transpire with the awareness of the profound influence past events had on our current personality. The weight of baggage varies by individual. Our capacity to carry, manage, and overcome baggage is directly proportional to the capability to face them directly.
Evolution
I have had a complicated history, so I am a complicated person.
