Thinking And Learning
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.”— Confucius If we only learn and not think about how to apply our learnings then we are lost. We need to come with a plan to execute what we’ve learned. […]
He Is Able

Stop The Analysis, Start Doing It Today
Post Written By Eugene Morgan It is so easy to tell ourselves what we need to do to plan and execute something while doing something else that’s unrelated.

Finding Another Way Of Thinking
Post Written By Eugene Morgan For us to get around or through a problem, we must find another way of thinking. If our conclusions are dead ends, then it is time to revamp the way we’re thinking about the problem. We need to re-educate ourselves by looking at the problem with a new entry point. […]

http://www.changeforhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/5238574678_75a3ca1b14.jpg Post Written By Eugene Morgan We need to do a bit of thinking for ourselves.

Doing Something Now Saves Time
Post Written By Eugene Morgan It is easy to say we are going to do something or we need to do something, than to do it. But when we see that we haven’t done anything about it in two weeks or longer, and then we won’t do it at all. We find ourselves thinking about […]
Thinking And Doing
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We all know that we got to think things through before we proceed. But sometime we over think something that we get paralysis from it so we don’t do anything at all. It’s best to think and do. Thinking and doing help us to find out what works and what […]
Digging Deeper
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Sometimes we need to dig a little deeper to learn about ourselves. It is easier to stay on the surface of things than to dig deeper.

Learning to Quiet the Mind
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.” ~ Atisha We can’t sleep when we have an active mind. While lying in bed wide awake, we think about what we haven’t done that we forgot to take care of. If we’re thinking about something at work and we’re at […]
What You’re Going to Do Isn’t Enough
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Some of us who procrastinate focus too much on what we’re going to do instead of actually doing it.

Putting Pressure On Ourselves

New Ideas That Change
Post Written By Eugene Morgan When we hear a new idea for the first time, it is very useful to sit with the new idea and ponder its meaning before going on to the next idea.

Thinking or Doing
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We don’t have to rush to make things happen, we just simply need to start doing things, and repeating what works.

An Idea that grows into more Ideas
Post Written By Eugene Morgan When we have an idea we ought not be afraid to use it. Not every idea that pops up in our minds will be useful. But it’s nice to see if it can be useful in some way. Ideas are like finding a new pair of shoes that fit; we […]
A Better Way of Thinking
Written by Eugene Morgan We don’t necessarily have to think differently to solve a problem; sometimes we just need a different place to think. Changing scenery is a useful approach to help increase creative thinking. It’s about rearranging our patterns, which can break up and free us from our old way of thinking. By focusing on […]
