Those endorphins usually do a pretty good job of warding off that "sky is falling" feeling. :)

Happy hiking...

The Dying Art of Thinking

This is a cool article called "The Dying Art of Thinking"

http://www.rzim.org/publications/jttran.php?seqid=2

Becoming a good thinker is one of the greatest disciplines you can develop and an ever increasing asset.

Hitler said:

"What luck for rulers, that men do not think"

Wow!

On the other hand, wise King Solomon said:

"It's better to be wise than strong; intelligence outranks muscle any day." Proverbs 24: 5

Continue to invest in developing into a good thinker and see the kind of impact it will make. John C. Maxwell in his book "Thinking For a Change" list 11 types of thinking worth developing:


  • Seeing the Wisdom of Big-Picture Thinking
  • Unleashing the Potential of Focused Thinking
  • Discovering the Joy of Creative Thinking
  • Recognizing the Importance of Realistic Thinking
  • Releasing the Power of Strategic Thinking
  • Feeling the Energy of Possibility Thinking
  • Embracing the Lessons of Reflective Thinking
  • Questioning the Acceptance of Popular Thinking
  • Encouraging the Participation of Shared Thinking
  • Experiencing the Satisfaction of Unselfish Thinking
  • Enjoying the Return of Bottom-Line Thinking

Give yourself "permission" to think. In today's frenetic, instant gratification society, thinking tends to be treated like a waste of time. However growing into becoming a good thinker will improve your life, if not revolutionize it.

When you improve your thinking you improve your life.

You are the best.
