Critical thinking fun facts...

Critical thinking assists with the development of one's ability to evaluate and then discuss choices/alternatives you may face. Once the critical thinking process is complete, one will discover there are, in fact, not just one, but several equally effective alternatives from which a decision may arise.

SIX BASIC CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS:
1) Observe & question
2) Classify
3) Compare
4) Summarize
5) Hypothesize
6) Evaluate & make decision

Stinking-thinking practiced by the chronic "people pleaser":
"I'll compromise for you"
"I'll over commit for you"
"I'll let you limit my success"

Wisdom from the TWINS- Gemini tellin' it...

You may feel smarter today, as if a magical potion somehow added twenty points to your IQ. Don't get so enamored with your ability to think your way through any problem for rational thinking can be a trap of its own. Instead of relying on logic, let your intuition take you on a ride so you can see a different path into your future.

You make several attempts to approach someone with your story today but it's frustrating when others don't seem to care about the same things that are important to you. Don't waste your time and energy licking your psychological wounds if you feel rejected now. Instead, focus on the journey ahead. There's no place in your life for negative thinking, visualize positive results.

You can be quite productive today if you can overcome your feelings of restlessness. When the pace of events slow down, your thoughts speed up and they can get you into hot water as you look to make some mischief. Be careful what you wish for; if you go looking for trouble, you just might find more than you expect.

You might feel like a mental ninja warrior today but every thought you throw into a conversation is washed aside by someone else. You may feel ineffectual, as if your ideas can't quite gel. It's no fun when you can't blend your many trains of thought into one coherent knockout punch! Instead of growing frustrated and then retreating, stay aware that your feelings of being "off" are temporary and a more positive attitude will return in a few days.

Instead of putting up a smokescreen of illusion, set your boundaries by telling others what you can and can't do

WTF, I enclose what I want...

"Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose. Don't be an asshole in either situation".

Essential words for a harmonious relationship- "I'm sorry" and "You're right".

"When you make a mistake, make amends immediately for it's easier to eat crow while it's still warm".

"Never pass up a chance to pee".
AMBIGUOUS: open to or having several meanings

"Remember always that you have not only the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one"-- Eleanor Roosevelt

Magnanimous- free from mean or petty feelings/acts, noble in mind or soul

Conocimiento: knowledge

LAISSEZ-FAIRE: letting people do as they please

Is this blog in proper working order now????

I've tried to post 2 new blogs since the 11th & have been kicked off twice. Almost scared to get on here but hey, I'm a risk taker, here goes...

Part of living a happy life is emotional honesty- being able to say when we've been hurt, when we love someone or care about someone. Without this emotional honesty, we have to repress our feelings, sometimes feeling victimized & unappreciated. Others can't reciprocate or respond to our feelings if we never let them know what they are. Even if we can't obtain perfection in this business of emotional honesty, can we resolve to at least strive for progress, to take one small risk today, to take one small step towards intimacy today????

Today I can either think about all the things I wish I had and want to do and hope that God will do them for me OR I can DO all the things I think I should do & know that God will give me the right results.

Is it any wonder????

Live life at all times with INTEGRITY!

Gemini: You can visualize how great this year could be if only you're able to work through those issues that still anchor you to your past. Although you might not share your fears with anyone, they can still because for worry. It's incumbent on you to slow everything down long enough so you can put your ingenuity to practical use.

"All the people I ever admired & respected led balanced lives- studying hard, partying hard & being involved in activities & getting a decent amount of sleep each night. I believe it's the only logically defensible way of doing things".

The only way to make a relationship that's been violated is to work toward establishing a new trust based on a fresh commitment.

In conflict, silence feels easier than than having conversations focused on dealing with a problem. SILENCE is rarely your friend when attempting to establish/maintain/heal a broken relationship.

SCREAM!!!!!! This is what passionate people do to effectively express themselves.

Sex is the coolest thing on the planet & today's society has done it's best to make it wrong & dirty. If you're not sweating during sex then you're doing something WRONG!!!!
"Is sex dirty? Only if it's done right!!!"--Woody Allen
sex=respect
responsibility
safety

How can I give others my best if I don't believe I have anything wonderful to offer????

*Blind trust is dangerous* When you create a life you've always wanted, you'll be criticized*

"So long as you are still worried about what others think of you, you're owned by them!".

"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds"

URBAN WORD OF THE DAY:
textually frustrated- takes too long to reply, leaving you waiting...
New Year's Eve- the one night of the year when getting drunk and making a fool of your self is not optional, it's mandatory!
Christmas bogus- receiving nothing from employer for Christmas
resolution rush- folks swarming the gym in the weeks after New Years. This act tends to subside quite quickly (especially when it pertains to me!)

BIG 5 PERSONALITY...

Five Fundamental Dimensions of Personality:
It's all about me, bitches!!!!

Estimate Jungian Type- alternative personality framework used by tests where types, not traits, are used; test used for personal development

OPENNESS: Trait, 75%. Prefer novelty (new & unique) v. convention (standard procedure). Aware of feelings but doesn't get carried away with imagination. Embraces change when necessary but resistant when feels it's not wise. Beauty is important but not everything.

CONSCIENTIOUSNESS: Trait, 50%. Prefer organized/flexible approach in life. Spontaneous & fun; likes to do unexpected things to make life more interesting. Not completely unreliable but known to slip up on occasion (AMEN!).

EXTRAVERSION: Trait, 100%. Enjoys company & excitement & stimulation seeker. Constantly energetic & active. Aims to be the center of attention at social occasions. Asserts self when in groups & usually says YES---Ain't it tha truth!!!!

AGREEABLENESS: Trait, 56%. This is the way I express my opinions & manage relationships. People can find me difficult to get along with when we first meet b/c I can be suspicious of one's motives. Overtime, you will warm to me & me to you but this doesn't stop me telling you HOW IT IS!!!!

NEUROTICISM: Trait, 69%. This measures my emotional stability-ha! What emotional stability???? This measures the way I cope with & respond to life's demands. I tend to be more self-conscious, coming across as one who finds it hard not to get caught up by anxious/stressful situations. I'm in touch with my own feelings, sometimes too much so!

BINGO, THAT ABOUT SUMS ME UP!!!!

utterly random...

You have been rather somber lately, pondering the complexity of your relationships and how to get what you want without turning your life inside out. It's even possible that you have been stuck, unable to figure out how to turn the next corner. Luckily your spirits will lift because you can feel some movement within your imagination, which allows you to begin to clarify what's ahead.

From the movie, "Network" and posthumously recognizing Peter Finch, "I'm mad as hell & I'm not going to take it anymore!".

Complacency- so used to getting bad service that it's become the norm. RUE- regret
Credo "seller beware" : treat me badly & live with the consequences of bad behavior by having me tell everyone exactly what kind of service I received. You loose your power if you cuss or scream & DON'T GIVE UP POWER WHEN COMPLAINING!

Policies are created that are absurd, I think decision-makers at certain companies were on crack when were written!!!!
Don't expect others to make you rich if you're keeping them broke!!!!

Stress comes from knowing what's right & doing what's wrong!
IMPLEMENT NOW, PERFECT LATER!!!

Be on time, there's never an excuse to be late...

Knowledge is not power, the implementation of knowledge is power!!!
It's impossible to grow without risk- don't worry too much about making the right decision, just make a decision & then make it the right decision!!!

Change is inevitable, growth's optional- what you resist will persist. Don't concern yourself with being liked, BE RESPECTED!
Keep it simple if it feels complicated: STOP, EVALUATE, SIMPLIFY & BEGIN AGAIN...

Never mistake activity for achievements. It's gotten to the point where everyone has rights & no one has responsibilities. PACIFIER: enables one in need, the one who believes life sucks, and tells him it's okay & there are plenty of conditions that are beyond his control that led to his life sucking in the first place. In essence, the pacifier coats the pussy in a shell that serves no real purpose than to make it harder for the "conflicted" to face the REAL TRUTH!!!

Affirmation without implementation is self-delusion. "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing, it was here first"- M. Twain

PSEUDO-WORKING- looks & feels like working hard. D/T lack of focus & concentration, one doesn't actually accomplish much!
TNT: Today, not tomorrow!!!
"I'm the guy that gets shit done"

More shit, just cause. It's my blog, dammit!!!!

"Style is being yourself on purpose"- I love this one!!!!

"Discover your uniqueness & learn to exploit it in the service of others & you're guaranteed success, happiness & prosperity"

"Don't let your mouth write a check that your butt can't cash"- hehehe!!!!

"People who need help rarely appreciate the help or do anything with it. If you NEED anything, don't bother. If you WANT something, LET'S ROLL"!!!!!- word!!!!

Horoscopes of interest.... HAPPY 2009!!!

You have been rather somber lately; pondering the complexity of your relationships and how to get what you want without turning your life inside out. It's even possible that you have been stuck, unable to figure out how to turn the next corner. Luckily, your spirits lift today because you can feel some movement within your imagination, which allows you to begin to clarify what's ahead.

You might even surprise yourself today by your ability to stick with a particular feeling, even if there are easier courses of action available to you. You aren't interested in simplicity now; you want to touch the depth of experience that has been eluding you. Fortunately, exciting thoughts accompany your inner journey, stimulating your curiosity and feeding your desire to learn more about yourself.

You may not be ready to share your fears with others today because they believe you are the one who is naturally okay with change. However, the current uncertainty may be more than you expected and you would rather be experiencing more stability. Don't worry about living up to anyone's idea of who you are. Surprise them by simply being yourself and speaking from your heart.

There's a whole new inner dimension unfolding and it can detract from what you should be doing. This is not about closing down your feelings; it's about analyzing them so you know which ones matter enough to motivate action. It may take some practice, but you can learn to keep up outside appearances now while you also attend to your journey within.

You might have some apologizing to do or, at least, some unfulfilled promises to deliver. Even if your intentions were good, you may have been sidetracked by a variety of circumstances. Now, finally, the hectic pass is calming down. Take whatever time you need to assess your position in a current relationship and make a plan to improve it.

The tension between your need for enjoyment and other people's expectations of you can clash outwardly, even if you try to keep your feelings under wraps. You may be able to maintain emotional detachment for a while, but your true desires will leak out and everyone will know what you truly want. Life will be a whole lot easier if you are honest right from the start.
