The right environment
By John C. Maxwell
In the right environment:
- Thinking is valued
- Ideas flow freely
- Fresh eyes are welcome
- Change is expected
- Questions are encouraged
- Egos are checked
- Ideas stimulate better ideas, and
- Thinking generates teamwork.
Like every person, every thought has the potential to become something great. When you find a place to stretch your thoughts, you find that potential.
NB:
The real power of an idea comes when it goes from absraction to application.
What good then is thinking if it has no application in real life? Thinking divorced
from actions cannot be productive.
How to become a good thinker:
1. Expose yourself to good input.
2. Expose yourself to good thinkers.
3. Choose to think good thoughts.
4. Act on your good thoughts.
5. Allow your emotion to create another good thought.
6. Repeat the process...
Where to focus your thinking:
A. Your priorities.
B. Your gifts.
C. Your dream.
