Uncommon Common Sense

There’s a lot to be said about common sense and good judgment. Both of which come from the same well of truth. Unfortunately, most well locations have dried up from neglect and what seems common or sensible to you is uncomprehendible to someone else.

The practical approach to the use of common sense and good judgment requires two elements: open eyes and an open mind. The reason Dr. Phil gained such popularity is not based on his university degrees, doctorate work, or his professional practice. It had everything to do with him merely speaking in common sense terms to the masses while using his best judgment in the moment.

I like to think that common sense and good judgment grow on the same tree and that tree isn’t found very often anymore. With that, it’s important that these element farmers are working daily to see that seeds are planted, ideas and discussions include these valuable attributes, and more people are trained in there use and benefit.

We seem to have gone a few decades with diminished investment in common sense and good judgment and now is the time to reestablish daily engagement with these valuable tools for personal and professional use. 💚
