A dear co-worker
of mine challenged me one day to reflect on ‘what I think about what I am thinking’.
Wow….if that isn’t deep, I don’t know what is. And so, ever since that day I’ve
been thinking about what I’m thinking.
In the
process, I’ve learned that it really prompts me to:
- purposely examine my thoughts to entertain new ideas
- challenge old ideas
- uncover potential unconscious biases, and to always
- step back and look at the big picture
For many
years, I’ve filtered my daily life with gratitude for the experience, and the
consideration of whether the immediate concern will matter or even be
remembered in five days, five months or five years.
We live in a
land of opportunity, and are in control of our own lives. I challenge you to
focus on only gratitude in any given situation, and know that it will make a
difference in your life.
Give it a try, it’s free!
