Think for yourself
We’re a society that’s addicted to experts. We seek out and take advice from medical, lifestyle, fashion, psychological, relationship, and political gurus. We look to others to help us form our opinions and guide our actions.
While it is okay to go outside of ourselves for information sources, we shouldn’t abdicate our responsibilities. We should verify the accuracy of the outside information and the credibility of the source.
We also should draw our own conclusions regarding the information we find. And we should remember to trust our own gut sense. If something doesn’t feel right to us, it may well not be for us.
Today’s message reminds me, in this polarized political time, to take a few deep breaths, verify, and think for myself. Clarity will never arrive if I allow others to spoon feed me my beliefs and direct my choices.
Please reflect and share. Do you feel you think for yourself?
