I thought that critical thinking was the highest level of thought. Now I know better. Critical thinking evolves into something greater. When combined with self awareness it becomes reflective thinking.
The ability to know what you want from life and to critically evaluate your own behavior in order to develop the strategies and coping skills to obtain it, is reflective thinking. This is "mindfulness". This is the examined life that Socrates spoke of, and a level thinking that becomes a way of living. It is the virtue that lies between zealotry and impulse. In essence, it is the ability to understand one's own meta cognition and coordinate it to obtain one's maximum potential.
It seems that humility has once again found me as I have to scale yet another mountain in my quest for personal growth and development. This literally could take decades to master.
