Art of ThinkingAs Henry Ford observed, Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.Youd think that the easiest thing to change would be your thinking. Its not like building muscle or losing fat. Its just... a thought. Right?But no. Its the hardest.To change your thinking:1. You need to accept that you are where you are because of the way youve been thinking to date. You need to have an acute awareness that your current situation (the one you want to change) was caused by the way you were thinking about it. And not by your spouse. Your parents. The government. Your boss. Or whatever.Yeah - you need to accept responsibility for where you are.Isnt it so much easier to blame others? No wonder few people ever get past step 1.But even if you do, theres still another step.2. You need to become exposed to a better way of thinking. A way that will help you get what you want. Even harder: If you lack a mentor and quality peers, youll need to figure out that better way yourself.You also need the life experience and perspective and wisdom to recognize that this new way of thinking really is superior to what youve got now. Thats the familiar way to most of us. Made it this far?So as you go about your vocation today, remember that you cannot solve a problem at the level of thinking that brought you into itPoser:What will you do to enhance your thinking quality?
