Being Mindful

Sometimes in our lives we become convinced we have something right, sometimes we are right but other times we may not be. It comes down mostly to wisdom and having the courage it rely on facts over feelings and focus on the truth. Being mindful is about being a critical thinker, not just in school, not just when you’re working on a project for work, but also when you believe you’ve found the truth, keep looking for proof, it will keep you sharper in your convictions, that and you’ll be better at defending those convictions. Also, though, make sure to listen to others and ask questions, just be nice about it and be human, don’t try to sound like a pro but instead talk about how you had to search for truth, and perhaps how you may have even struggled with the truth.

Sometimes in life, we are convinced that we could be wrong even though that’s not the case. Often we’re told that if something sounds too good to be true it probably is. The most important exception I found to this is my salvation and faith in Jesus Christ. My faith was most notably further solidified when I looked into why others believe in their faiths and the lack of proof (and a whole lot of prayer) led me back to the cross.

Learning from everything you can, just be discerning of it. Wisdom and learning strengthen your whole self.
