I Think, No—I Write

To be, to have, to think, to move — which of these verbs is the one you feel most connected to? Or is there another verb that characterizes you better?

I find myself regularly using the phrase, I think. I hate the phrase. What does it mean anyway? It is okay if you are explaining exactly what you think, however, I find that I use the phrase like a question. For example:

“The meeting is on Wednesday, I Think?”

If, however, you want the statement to be more powerful, consider the following

“I am telling you that I think, it is important to do…. because……”

My other favourite verb is ‘ to write.’ I can think thousands of thoughts daily but, they only become truly mine, when I write them in either my blog or my book. Writing, helps me to clarify my thoughts and ensures I am using  a phrase correctly. Writing also helps me take the useless—I think—out of my vocabulary. Instead, practicing clarity and power around my thoughts, allows me to emphasis my thoughts as own. And, it is completed by perfecting my use of the statement—I Think.

Truth Serum Special Guest

You’ve come into possession of one vial of truth serum. Who would you give it to (with the person’s consent, of course) — and what questions would you ask?

In my younger years, I received a Queen’s Award through the Girls’ Brigade. My very beautiful certificate is said to be personally signed by the Queen. As part of achieving my award, I learnt a lot about the royal family and since then they have faced many changes. Queen Elizabeth 2 throughout her reign has lead the monarchy and the Commonwealth well and is highly respect and much loved the world over. It is for these reasons, I would like to give the truth serum to her to develop an understanding of how she has coped so well, in this role for so long.

My questions are:

1. Did you personally sign my Queens’ award?

2. How much time did you spend with your children when they where growing up?

3. What is your favourite memory?

4. What is the biggest political issue you have dealt with during your reign?

5. What are your hopes for the future of the monarchy?

6. Who will be our next king—Charles or William?

7. Do you have any fears for your great grandchildren?

8. What is your favourtie food?

9. What is your biggest regret?

10. Are you always as nice to everyone you come in contract with daily including your staff as you appear to be?
