I hear this phrase often when someone is giving advice. Interestingly that very person rarely stops and thinks about what choices he is making.
We so often think we are thinking if the outcome is positive and thinking we weren't thinking if the outcome is negative.
What we don't often do is stop. Then truly think. The outcome becomes a learning process because the thinking continues as I am able to stop.
It's a rush to not rush, I think.
A wandering mind with a focus.
The inertia from collecting so many dots that I have no time to get up and go connect them. Remove the prison stripe and dance the polka dot. Psalm 142:7
The wider perspective while keeping things in perspective.
Often a convoluted set of assumptions caused by poor communication.
To pinpoint through the pen point. Psalm 45:1
Giving your attention rather than paying attention. Giving removes the effect of over-fixation sometimes caused by paying attention.
Doing what I know rather than doing what I know to do.
One who lacks self-control.
One must communicate first what others are prepared to hear in order to prepare them for what must be said. Otherwise, you will repeatedly say only what you wanted to say rather than communicate your message effectively.
Negates desire.
Come to in order to go for.

Near rather than nearly.
The left brain storming toward the heart to join the right brain in order not to tip over from what it often trips over.
The 1st question should be "Who will move the stone for us?" Mark 16:3-4 The quest for the right question that causes us to look up so that we may fall down is answered. It's hard to see if the stone is before us or behind us without the right question.
The impatient quickness of anger attempting to slow down by anger.
When you are certain about your future, you can concentrate on your present. It is a new birth day. Psalm 118:24
Determined humility.
Silenced idle words.
