Remember:  No one can care about you more than you do about yourself.

Live in the past at your own risk, but not at the risk of others.Live in the present and think about life as it is –today!Live in the future with a third eye scanning all horizons, minds and environments within the reach of your imagination and curiosity.

As we look at what is happening in the immediate space of our lives, we often find ourselves captured by our selective memories.  It is not the big issues of the day we remember, but those slight events which still trigger emotional recalls.  The range of the thoughts seek boundaries, but those are limited by the spread and depths of our life experiences.  More importantly, much must be said by our silent and secret passions to ponder our pasts:  full of regrets, pleasures and so on and on.

Yet, our futures are often informed by both simple and complex thoughts full of lessons, hopefully never forgotten in our lifetimes.  Yes, we can hope, but there are no guarantees! This process takes a well disciplined set of practices, embedded in our daily activities of living and continually learning about our world(s).

The blogs of Worldwise Learning are formulated to create a depth of field of thought.  Specifically and forcefully requisitioning the full range of acquisitive critical thinking of a human being with an exploratory mind. (By the way, we are talking about a serious thinker.  She is someone who is curious about her world, with an insatiable appetite for new information; which also accumulates value in her understanding of the world far beyond her historic experiences).

A serious and critical thinker can attest to having an open mind, whose thoughts are not set in long deep ruts of repetitive and time worn beliefs, too often disguised as incontestable truths.  Incontestable truths make great homes for minds that don’t want to think about new ideas, nor take responsibility to ponder ideas which generate questions. New ideas are dangerous to already accepted ideas deeply embedded in cocoons of accepted ways of thinking.

Where is your thinking leading you along the potential of many pathways?
