Are You Second Hand Thinking?
This morning we focus on thinking: We can enjoy a quote from James Byrnes who said,
“Trained and inspired leadership is needed in the troubled world of today.
We live in uncertainty and fear. The times call for thinking and straight thinking – one of the goals of true education.
Unfortunately, the world so clamors for action that men and women devote little time to thinking.
Many believe in second-hand thinking. They find it easier to ascertain and adopt the thought of others than to think for themselves.”
This makes me think of how the media spins things, how fear can infiltrate our minds with thoughts of lack, war, worry –
When you only fill your mind with ideas, with solutions, with hope and opportunity those are the things that grow –
You Create Your Day by the way You Think! Be Present!
Go make it a Magnificent Day!
Blessings, Shawna
