This episode describes the psychology behind thinking with heart and mind and provides listeners with ways to incorporate its ideas into everyday life. Relationships deepen, happiness expands, while success in outer activities increases. It’s the art of living well.
Look at the settings and situations of your life:
- Do the ideas in this episode seem true?
- Does thinking with the heart, with love and compassion, differ from critical analysis?
- Consider how thinking with heart and mind play roles in your own life?
Look at the settings and situations of your life:
- How much of a role does this inner judge play?
- How much were you judged?
- How often do you judge others?
- How does being judged feel?
NOTE: Explore without bringing up old feelings, just as an athlete can look at videos of mistakes to improve. Only go as far as you can. Do this work with a friend or a mental health professional if necessary.
Look at the settings and situations of your life
- Where does love play a role in your life?
- Have you ever experienced feeling loved? How did that feel?
- Have you ever done something for someone else purely out of human kindness? How did that feel?
- Would you enjoy your life more if you increased how much your offered kindness, caring, and compassionate insight? How might you achieve this?
NOTE: You needn’t make any changes. Change will naturally occur if thoughts become powerful.
Quotations
Don’t condemn if you see a person has a dirty glass of water, just show them the clean glass of water that you have. When they inspect it, you won’t have to say that yours is better.
— Elijah Muhammad, The Autobiography of Malcolm X
Life is for the living / Death is for the dead / Let life be like music / And death a note unsaid
— Langston Hughes
I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up, and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom.
