“The habit of committing our thoughts to writing is a powerful means of expanding the mind, and producing a logical and systematic arrangement of our views and opinions. It is this which gives the writer a vast superiority, as to the accuracy and extent of his conceptions, over the mere talker. No one can ever hope to know the principles of any art or science thoroughly who does not write as well as read upon the subject.” KnowsGivingWritingMindWellsMeanDoeArtViewsPowerfulOpinionPrinciplesSubjectsHabitMereLogicalConceptionArrangementsSuperiorityOur ThoughtsExpandingAccuracySystematicTalkers Author:William Blaikie

“Dialogue is a space where we may see the assumptions which lay beneath the surface of our thoughts, assumptions which drive us, assumptions around which we build organizations, create economies, form nations and religions. These assumptions become habitual, mental habits that drive us, confuse us and prevent our responding intelligently to the challenges we face every day.” MayFacesFormNationsUnderstandingChallengesSpaceEconomyListeningHabitEmpathyOrganizationLaysSurfaceDialogueAssumptionOur ThoughtsRespondingHabitualBeneath The SurfaceChallenges We Face Author:David Bohm

“Resistance is a result of our mind being attached to having things a certain way rather than the way they actually are. It is a mental habit of the ego that we need to become aware of in order to see the consequences. Only then can we see into our thought system and realize that nothing could be more of a waste of time than to resist and complain about what already is.” WayNeedsMindCertainOrderRealizingResultsHabitEgoWasteConsequenceComplainingResistanceWasting TimeOur Thoughts Author:Lee L Jampolsky
“Mindfulness is the ability to be aware, to note, to notice. When we apply that to our thoughts and mental habits, we bring a clarity of awareness in seeing what's just an ordinary thought and what's a judging thought that's pejorative or putting us down in some way. So, we first bring that lens of awareness, and then we can do all kinds of different strategies. We can inquire.” WayFirstsKindDifferentCan DoAbilitySeeingAwarenessJudgingHabitMindfulnessOrdinaryStrategyNotesAll KindsClarityOur ThoughtsLenses Author:Mark Coleman
