“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the things you can think up if only you try!”~Dr. Seuss As we come to Day #3 of Dr. Seuss week, the great philosopher leaves us with this thought. "Oh, the things you can think up if only you try!” Do you ever think about what you're thinking about??? Really? It's called Metacognition and we don't do it often enough. We let negative thoughts just flow through our brains without ever stopping them or re-framing them. How often do you really think during the day? 5, 6 times? More or less? Do you realize that your subconscious runs about 96% of your day! Expand your brain and spend some time thinking! We think that we think, but most jobs rely on you doing the same thing over and over again without thinking. Who designed these jobs?? When was the last time you thought about doing your job differently? Ever?? Today, when you are confronted by a normal challenge, don't solve it the usual way. Think of a better way to deal with it. Who knows? You might create a new way to do things! "Oh the things you can think up if only you try!"Know. Be Known. Make A Difference! “Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the things you can think up if only you try!”
"If we are not responsible for the thoughts that pass our doors, we are at least responsible for those we admit and entertain." ~Charles NewcombWhat thoughts are you admitting and entertaining? Have you ever thought about what you are thinking about? It's called Metacognition and more people don't ever do it.

Once they enter your thought pattern make sure that you weed them out so they can't plant in your brain.What are you doing about what you aren't doing? Anything? Are you learning something new? Are you being coached or mentored by someone? Or are you doing nothing about what you aren't doing???Keep weeding your "brain garden" minute by minute. It might be a hassle to start but you will benefit from it immediately. Start doing something about what you aren't doing.Know. Be Known.
