What you believe is your thought system.

Pause and reflect on this truth, and above all, be thankful that it is true.

Whether you are consciously aware of it or not, your thought system is the lens through which you view the world. Without exception, everyone has one. And though there are many variations, there are only two thought systems from which to choose:

  • A Right-Minded thought system, which extends ally beliefs of acceptance, forgiveness, and adjustment to everyone, everywhere, forever
  • A wrong-minded system, which projects adversarial assaults of rejection, attack, and defensiveness to everyone, everywhere, forever

Once you have developed a thought system of any kind, you live it and teach it. Even if you are not entirely aware of it, it remains at the forefront of your mind, influencing your daily behaviors and choices.

If your thought system is negative, or you choose to follow EgoEgo is the negative, wrong-minded teacher who continually tells you how difficult the world is and how you must constantly fight to survive. More into an unnecessary and adversarial competition, you cannot be a happy, successful teammate.

When you choose to follow Reason, you willingly create and genuinely strive to live your team’s Work AgreementsA Work Agreement is a collective promise made by teammates to transform non-productive behavior into collaborative teamwork behavior. More. With Reason’s help, you transform your team into a lovely, collaborative, successful classroom.
