Critical thinkers keep a tight hold on the reins to bring reason and emotion into balance. They know that just because we want to believe the cookie is edible, doesn’t mean it is.

7. Don’t jump to conclusions. Perhaps your significant other always eats the last cookie. So when you get home from work and see that the cookie you have been craving all day is gone, you blame your spouse. He looks guilty. There are crumbs all over the floor. Jumping to conclusions too quickly can lead one to wrong information and poor decisions. Before you start to yell, take a look at the dog in the corner with the oatmeal-cookie crumb beard… Critical thinkers draw conclusions from their evidence, not evidence from their conclusions.

8. Consider the risk. A lot of life focuses on risk mitigation. Think about fire safety: we install smoke alarms, fire hydrants, fire extinguishers and emergency exits. While these things are reduce the damage of fire, they do nothing to prevent the fire in the first place. In order to prevent a fire, you must

© 2014 Healthy Wealthy nWise | All Rights Reserved 20 I believe that one of the problems in understanding this concept is a somewhat built-in bias that many people have about networking with individuals that are outside their normal frame of reference. A good friend of mine in Boston, I’ll call her Pam, once told me an amazing story that illustrates this point perfectly.

Pam ran dozens of networking groups in the Boston area. One day, she visited a group that met in a private meeting room at Fenway Park. She arrived a little early to the meeting and noticed an older gentleman setting up coffee mugs in preparation for the meeting.

Pam is a consummate networker, and she also has the talent of being able to strike up an engaging and productive conversation with just about anyone. True to form, she struck up a conversation with the man while waiting for the members of the group to arrive. In talking to him, she was really taken by the amazing sound of his voice. She mentioned to him that he had an incredible speaking voice and asked what he did before this. He informed her that he used to be a commentator for CNN!

He went on to tell her that in his later years, he wanted to work in a less hectic job and also live closer to his daughter. He decided to take on the job of managing the owner’s suite at Fenway Park in Boston, because it gave him an opportunity to be close to his family while having a less hectic career later in life.

Pam asked him about some of the people that he met during his time in broadcasting. He shared many great stories with her, including an interview with JKF a week before he was assassinated. He also talked about meeting Martin

21 Welcome to The Prayer Project!

The Prayer Project is just that; a project designed to do one simple thing: change the world through the power of prayer. That’s it. You can change the world through the power of prayer in as little as 10 minutes a day.

This quest began when I thought about the sad state of the world today—in terms of war, injustice and environmental decline--and wondered how I could help spread a message of peace and an experience of divine joy that everyone could participate in. It is important that we find a way to become happy and inspired again, don’t you think? And to protect and nurture our planet and its inhabitants…. Is there a way to do this, to create a feeling of hope and happiness every day and benefit others somehow?

What can one person do, when it often seems we are so isolated and alone?

I contemplated these questions and came up with an answer. What if I told you that we can transform the world in three minutes—three times a day? That does not seem like a lot of time to invest, but that is truly all it takes to change your world – and the world around you.

You may be questioning how one person can change the world in mere minutes a day. The beauty of this movement is that it is not just one person, but hundreds and thousands, or even millions of people praying for peace, joy and love all at the same time. That’s right; together we really can change the world.
