who limits you?

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

TheThinkMovement.com by j. sakiya sandifer

I recently read this great quote by fellow thinker, Les Brown’s which says, “Life has no limitations, except the ones you make.” Powerful stuff right?  I say that because it caused me to think!!!

Now of course I believe there should be some limitations in life or there would be certain chaos. But for the most part, limitations as we know them are merely opinions.  Unfornutely these opinions are not often originated by us, but more accepted by us.  And the source usually comes to form that opinion because of one of two reasons…1) they can’t do it or 2) it’s a threat to them if you do.

So I ask you my fellow thinkers…who should limit you?  And more importantly, why?

what’s your top five???

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

TheThinkMovement.com

It never ceases to amaze me where or when I get inspired thoughts. And this past weekend when my daughters and I decided to watch a series of movies was no expectations. One of our selections was “The Strangers”, mainly due to how the line “because you were home” was said in the preview.

I was also drawn into the story because it was said to based on some true accounts, so hence I foolishly watched looking for some realism…ughh…what a disappointment! About mid-point in the movie, my youngest noticed my “WTF” face!  Reason being because I felt this movie was beyond any realm of common sense!

As my daughters and I began discussing the movie, I found myself stressing common sense to them.  And that’s when the magical moment happen!  I was asked by my young beautiful minded daughters…”What is common sense?” And to top that question, I was then TOLD after what I thought was a pretty good explanation…”Just because it’s common to you, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s common to everybody else.  Come on Daddy, you know you’re this deep thinker and stuff!”

Great compliment…YES!  Do I think that they were just trying to quickly shut me up in order to watch another movie…POSSIBLY!!! But it did raise a very good point…what is common sense?  Has what’s commonly known changed with the world becoming somewhat smaller and moving at such a fast pace due to technology?

In order to get somewhat of an answer, I ask the following question…what are the top five things that are common sense to you? In order to get a good sense of how this applies to the world, be sure to include where you live.

a question from an anonymous fellow thinker

Monday, February 16th, 2009

TheThinkMovement.com

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I’d like to ask: Is it possible to have a successful relationship without first finding true peace within ourselves?

I imagine two separate puzzles, each complete by itself.  Each, when constructed, creates a picture of life that tells a complete story, vibrant and exciting.  Then they are put together, and a beautiful thing happens. (more…)

Every man is free to rise as far as he’s able or willing, but the degree to which he thinks determines the degree to which he’ll rise.
- Ayn Rand

can vs. should

TheThinkMovement.com by j. sakiya sandifer

When it comes to experiencing what I want out of life, I hate when people are quick to tell me what I can or can’t do.  I think the people who are quick with the “cans and can’ts” usually based them on their own limitations…which you should know by now doesn’t sit to well with me. 

What works best for me is  (more…)

the influence of culture and environment

The influence of culture and environment can have an effect on our visual perception.  This theory was first explored by Robert Laws, a Scottish missionary working in Malawi, Africa, during the late 1800’s.

Take a look at the picture above.  What is above the woman’s head?  What you see will largely depend on where you live in the world.  After you have examined the picture, scroll down for a more detailed explanation… (more…)

By Elizabeth Landau

CNN) — Even in tough economic times, you may find yourself with a bit of cash to spare. You’ve been working hard, and you want to treat yourself.  Should you spend it on an experience, such as a baseball game or concert, or a material object?

Psychological research suggests that, in the long run, experiences make people happier than possessions.

what we seem to have is a failure to communicate

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

TheThinkMovement.com

I think not having a clear and precise idea that resonates with others is one of the main reasons why so many people fail in reaching their goals.

So the next time that you find yourself explaining your goals to someone (which should be all the time), and they respond with a comment like “I don’t get it”,…take it as a positive!  It’s the way of the universe telling you that you’re idea needs more work.

A motorist had a lucky escape when his van careered off a mountain road.  In a scene straight out of The Italian Job, Daniel Lyons was left hanging in mid-air after his vehicle plunged down the rock face in Colorado and dangled on a precipice.

Would your life change after experiencing this…and if so, how?
