Habits of mind

"Habits of mind" is how a person deals with an every day issue. A person has their own individual way of thinking, their own thought process. A persons "habits of mind" is how they go about things, how a person decides on something, their own approach towards an idea. These "habits of mind" are their choices, a persons ideals and morals. A person follows their own ideals and morals because they believe that is what is right opposed to what is wrong.

The "habit of mind" that fits me most is number two "Managing impulsivity."
Managing impulsivity means a person chooses to come to a conclusion without fully understanding something, but they believe they know the right choice.
This applies to me because a lot of the time in my everyday life I think I know the answers to something before I even fully understand the problem. I think I know it all when I don't. I don't take the time to really think about what is going on instead I believe I know what is happening and make a decision off of that thought process. Thinking this way causes me to have a lot of problems because I make mistakes due to not taking the time to fully understand something. I make mistakes on school work, with family and friends, and many other things. And I believe I am wrong to go about things in this manner because of the after affects of many decisions I have made based off of this way of thinking.

I pretend nothing in this world can phase me

I worry about it all
I cry about it all
I am strong hearted and strong willed

I understand it's time to grow
I say I know everything
I dream about my future
I try to prove myself
I hope for forgiveness
