Critical Thinking....

I don't believe in it doesn't necessarily mean it's not true. More so, my truth may, in fact, be unreal.
But my conviction is firm!
I don't let that bother me because I don't have the need to have them agree. I am content that they believe differently from me.
My senses are fallible and subject to deception making me a product of my environment in a cubicle designed by my perception.
Only, my cubicle might just be bigger than yours.
I love the use of the word Reconstructing. Too many times critical thinkers only Deconstruct but they miss the point of critical thinking altogether, to improve the overall construct of meaning, understanding and reason.
The Foundation for Critical Thinking has opened my mind about thinking skills in general and my own in particular.
I studied critical thinking and it was disconcerting to see many critical thinkers only deconstructing. If that is all a person does and never reconstructs, a person is left with virtually nothing. The act of reconstructing meaning from reason and logic is what makes us profound, unique, and amazing.
I use my limited critical thinking skills as a good mental message that tends to soothe my own existential angst.
The problem is to too many people confuse critical thinking with cynicism... that and thinking it must be 'right' because you thought it through.

Every minute someone leaves this world behind.
Age has nothing to do with it.
We are all in this the line without realizing it.
We never know how many people are before us. We can not move to the back of the line.
We can not step out of the line.
We can not avoid the line.
So while we wait in line -
Make moments count.
Make a difference.
Make the call.
Make priorities.
Make the time.
Make your gifts known.
Make a nobody feel like a somebody.
Make your voice heard.
Make the small things big.
Make someone smile.
Make the change.
Make yourself a priority.
Make love.
Makeup.
Make peace.
Make sure to tell your people they are loved.
Make waves.
Make sure to have no regrets.



This world will often leave you wishing you had just 5 more minutes. This powerful reminder on perspective and wake up to each day realizing it is a gift and to make the most of it!

There is certainly plenty of light from my heart to go around and it's done every day

As I look at the world, I see so much light that can be shared. When I have a little extra, I make a point of sending it to someone who needs it. 
Surely there is enough for all of us...





Empty your mind of all thoughts.
Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the turmoil of beings,
but contemplate their return.
Each separate being in the Universe 
Returns to the common source.
Returning to the source is serenity.

~ Lao Tzu
