Drama, drama, drama. It’s EVERYWHERE. It’s on our televisions, in our schools and FILLS our Facebook feed.

Life Doesn't Have to be an Either/Or Proposition

follow-your-heart-trust-your-gut-use-your-brainHow many times do you find yourself in situations when you feel like your heart is telling you one thing while your brain is telling you something completely different?

For me, this used to happen WAY more often than I liked and when it did, I hated the angst that came along with not knowing which direction to go.

If you’ve studied any philosophy in high school or college, you’ve no doubt heard of The Socratic Method. It is a form of inquiry (named after the classical Greek philosopher, Socrates) that is based upon asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to illuminate ideas.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been one to ask a lot of questions. I’m sure that this sometimes annoyed my parents and exasperated my teachers, but asking questions is how I learned to satisfy my curiosity about the many interesting things in the world around me. Once I was in college however; my academic advisor taught me the value of asking questions in order to gain understanding not just of the world around me, but also of the things that were going on inside of me.
