The author spoke about the dividing of our thinking into subsystems. He described that there was two subsystems that exist. The first subsystem was type one thinking.This thinking consist of being able to think through a thing with little to no effort. On the other hand there is type two thinking, which requires you to put a good bit of thought and process into a situation. Both type one and type two can be beneficial at different times.<\/p>\n
Morning after morning for the last few months my alarm rings at five-thirty. I jump up to the same routine. I make it to my place of business and I complete the same task day to day. There is a method to each thing that I have to do to start the day. Without any thought every method of the days start up is done. I look back on it several hours later not even remembering the steps I took to get to the end results. The effortless response to something I have done over and over is an example of the authors research about one of the subsystems of our thinking.<\/p>\n
In my first month of opening I needed a written list or a recipe for my task. I made weak coffee, burned some things, over and under cooked somethings trying to pay attention. I was paying more attention to the process than to the actual product that I wanted to produce. The type two subsystem was operating heavily as I tried to please potential customers. Something had to change or the business would not thrive. I eventually gained the confidence needed to operate in level two type thinking.<\/p>\n
In the Bible when Peter was asked to walk out on to the water he started out using type one thinking but quickly caved into type two. He stepped out on to the water on his journey toward the Lord. He asked the Lord to verify that it was indeed him by bidding him out on the water. As Peter begin to walk I can imagine that he started to think about the foundation that he had. He thought about the probability of a person being able to walk on an actual liquid substance. He thought about the possibility of drowning. He even second guessed his ability to swim. I imagine that thoughts like this caused him to turn his sight from the Lord and look back. As soon as he gain those anxious, fearful and doubtful feelings he begin to sink.<\/p>\n
As Peter begin to sink he had to switch his thinking back to his original type one thinking. In other words, Peter had no time to worry he had to walk by faith. Peter had to keep his eyes on the Lord and allow the master to take care of the things that he felt impossible. He had to think in the way that was beneficial to his situation at the moment.<\/p>\n
The example of my day to day business thinking and Peters preparation for leadership, highlights that type one thinking works in a plethora of situations. On the contrary type two thinking has proven to be effective as well. Reading a book and writing a blog in a week could \u00a0be an example of this type two thinking. The method of selecting what you will address and how to deliver it could be a process. This said easy process could also be somewhat difficult for some… Think about it.<\/p>\n
