COMMON SENSE AMPLIFIER

SOME ASPECTS OF COMMON SENSE PHILOSOPHY

1. Know that your attitudes produce beliefs and your beliefs produce values.

2. Approach people from a human being level rather than an intellectual perspective.

3. The management of your thoughts is critical. Be aware of how your logic is working and be sure it is not merely cunning in the service of desires.

4. Be aware of your feelings and observe their impact on your thinking. Try to eliminate negative thoughts and do not express negative feelings as truths.

5. Be here and now, pay attention to the environment in which you are without wandering off mentally or emotionally. Focus your attention on whatever activity it is that you are presently engaged in.

6. Try not to make any assumptions about others. Consider others before you consider your own feelings.

7. Think and feel before you act or speak.

8. Ponder what your values really are. Identify what you actually know to be true, and what is only information or beliefs. Articulate your values clearly so that others can understand where you are "coming from" when you act.

9. Make sure that you are paying attention to what you are really communicating to others, put the shoe on the other foot, listen more than talk, always check that others understand what you say in the same way that you meant it, and speak clearly to enable your audience understanding of the meanings between the lines.

10. Find a way to enjoy every day of your life. If you don't, who else will?
