Life Intellectual Flipping A Coin

More From George Sand

If you cannot always elicit a straight answer from the unconscious brain, how can you access its knowledge? sometimes the trick is merely to probe what your gut is telling you. so the next time a friend laments that she cannot decide between two options, tell her the easiest way to solve her problem: flip a coin. she should specify which option belongs to heads and which to tails, and then let the coin fly. the important part is to assess her gut feeling after the coin lands. if she feels a subtle sense of relief at being "told" what to do by the coin, that's the right choice for her.
Land Two Choices
Enthusiasm needs to be effective enthusiasm. we must distinguish between the contribution and enthusiasm of the cheerleader and the enthusiasm of the player. while cheerleaders serve an important purpose, the real contest involves players on the field or on the court of life. we must not go through life acting only as enthusiastic cheerleaders available for hire; we must be anxiously and personally engaged.
Real Player Important
Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.
Jobs Mean Reality
Faith is indeed intellectual; it involves an apprehension of certain things as facts; and vain is the modern effort to divorce faith from knowledge. but although faith is intellectual, it is not only intellectual. you cannot have faith without having knowledge; but you will not have faith if you have only knowledge.
Divorce Effort Intellectual
As we go through life, even through very rough waters, a father's instinctive impulse to cling tightly to his wife or to his children may not be the best way to accomplish his objective. instead, if he will lovingly cling to the savior and the iron rod of the gospel, his family will want to cling to him and to the savior.
Children Father Iron
The available supply of gold and silver being wholly inadequate to permit the issuance of coins of intrinsic value or paper currency convertible into coin of intrinsic value or paper currency convertible into coin in the volume required to serve the needs of the people, some other basis for the issue of currency must be developed, and some means other than that of convertibility into coin must be developed to prevent undue fluctuation in the value of paper currency or any other substitute for money intrinsic value that may come into use.

Concepts vs. self-actualization. - instead of dedicating your life to actualize a concept of what you should be like, actualize yourself. the process of maturing does not mean to become a captive of conceptualization. it is to come to the realization of what lies in our innermost selves.
