Think for yourself...


We are creatures of habit – the clothes we wear, the side of the bed we sleep on, the things we say and do, the values we live by. So, the question is: are these informed and well-considered choices? And are the choices we make indicative of who we really are or are we just following a crowd? It starts with knowing who you are and what you really want and ends with always being true to yourself. It means thinking for yourself rather than merely following the latest trends and fads. There’s a lot of information available and sometimes it hard to sort through it all. Surrounding yourself with good people and discussing these things with them is a good habit. Being open to good change and going slowly as you consider your options is another good habit. And making sure you continue to be true to yourself and your core beliefs is the best habit. Don’t sweat the small stuff like changing hair or clothing styles – those kinds of choices can be fun. But the big things – your job, your core beliefs, your friends – those are important and should be carefully considered. Make sure what you do is what you want to be doing today.
