Life Lesson of the Day: Critical Thinking

Twixxy Starr's (my alter ego the desire to fix the world) Life Lesson of the Day: Critical Thinking!

Instead of reacting emotionally to something you disagree with try applying the critical thinking skills below.

1. Suspend judgment to check the validity of a proposition or action. Fact check everything! Do you research. Educate yourself before opening your mouth. Facts always win against uneducated & emotion based opinions.

2. Take into consideration multiple perspectives. Everyone has a different outlook based on preconceived notions that they had learned through personal experience. Step outside of your own to master any conversation.

3. Examine implications and consequences of a belief or action. What are you going to accomplish by saying, posting, or commenting what you "feel"? Often times we speak, post, and comment to elicit a reaction from any given audience. We forget that reactions don't solve actual problems. Direct you efforts & energy to addressing problems in a constructive way!

4. Use reason and evidence to resolve disagreements. Armed with the facts and devoid of emotion one can effectively and efficiently resolve conflicts and disagreements. Often times this can evoke true change.

5. Re-evaluating a point of view in light of new information. Remain open minded when evaluating and given situation. Regardless of how smart you think you are you do not know all the facts or understand all the interconnections surrounding any given issue!

This concludes my life lesson of the day! Go do something amazing today. We change the world one person at a time!

Be Blessed!
