Critical thinking saves the day

"I think everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer, should learn a computer language, because it teaches you how to think.” – Steve Jobs

Steve is probably right regarding the thinking part however everyone on the planet already has an embedded DNA and psychological code in their very own personal hard drive.

Genetic and environmental factors have played a huge part in the development of this very specific code. This code creates a program or paradigm.

All of our sensory factors continue to input more information daily as this program or paradigm develops throughout life.

All of our evolving beliefs, habits etc. are tossed into the mix.

How does this work?

People are either listening or hearing and the dialogue goes one way or another based on congruency with the individual’s program or paradigm.

As a result, it is very easy to slant towards a subconscious or conscious prejudice regarding anything.

Authentic listening is crucial as it prevents reaction but encourages an appropriate response instead.

This is not easy as it takes emotional intelligence to circumvent inappropriate reaction.

Learn this very early in life and you will avoid some of the pitfalls that will certainly bombard you on your journey .

Enjoy the moments as they are swiftly moving and you will never be able to recapture that space in time again.

Ever.

Especially in human relationships this authentic listening is so important but is it easy?

No!

“A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself — to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart.” – Leo F. Buscaglia

I refer to it as the + or – relationship technique amongst couples.

In any relationship there is always a moving forward or moving backward direction in play that affects most relationships.

This might show up as money, family, societal, births, deaths etc. issues that confronts us from time to time.

This + or – technique really helps when there are pressures in life.

If you are in a relationship, consider the + or – technique as a proactive tool for the continued nurturing of your union.

When the other person is on the minus side in terms of overwhelming factors in their life, pause, listen, think and then respond by lifting them up.

When you need lifting up, the other person will nurture you by pausing, listening, thinking and responding.

These issues are always opportunities disguised as a crisis.

This formula for managing disagreements in life is sometimes based on the agree to disagree principle.

You inner eye of understanding based on your intellectual factors i.e. will, imagination, memory, perception and reason create greater results towards the progressive nurturing of your relationship.

You don’t have to rely on imposing old paradigms that continue to control your relationship.

Utilize this + or – technique as it will almost always squash reactionary, condescending and impulsive, non- productive words or actions.

In order for this work efficiently, one has to have a very strong desire.

“Desire is the effort of the unexpressed possibility within seeking expression without through our actions.” – Wallace D. Wattles

The year is 1910 and the book is the Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles.

One hundred years later and this awesome little book is still inspiring millions around the globe. In this book he speaks about this word desire.

The ocean surf making its way to the shore may symbolize the word desire.

It has that incredible desire, persistent desire and determined desire to make it to the shore regardless of anything.

Now when your desire is that strong and that enormous, you get what you are seeking intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, physically and financially.

Desire truly is the effort of the unexpressed possibility within seeking expression without through your actions.

So, what is your desire in your life?

What is preventing you from releasing this desire in all facets of your life?

Write it down right now.

If you haven’t read the book, read it, as it will catapult your results once you have identified your desire and begin to act.

Congratulations.

DESIRE
