What often holds us back in life sometimes is our inability to incorporate these three qualities into our being:
Thinking - Feeling - Doing
Thinking, feeling and doing are critical thinking skills. Some of us think and do, some of us feel and do. Some of us DO and then think - you know 'shoot first, ask questions later'! (guilty) :) Sometimes, things get done this way, but positive, long-lasting progress is most likely to occur when we think, feel and do. So...it's not think, do, feel (you'll just feel bad). It's not do, think, feel (you'll just wonder what happened). It's think, feel and do, the feeling is anticipated in advance of the doing which creates the possibility for the best outcome.
Thinking is the practical way to approach a task, being happy or content (or some other positive quality) with the expected outcome is the feeling element necessary for success, and of course 'doing' is the implementation, or action, of the thinking and feeling.
Adding feeling to our thinking and doing may also be considered the spiritual element, for unless this 'feeling' element is of a higher nature, nothing good is likely to come of it ultimately.
"The fundamental method of acquiring knowledge is observation, or watching. We watch our thoughts and feelings to know what goes on in our own minds; we watch the actions of others to draw conclusions concerning their thoughts and feelings." E.W. (E. W. Scripture aka Edward Wheeler)
We must become more aware of what we're doing by observing our own actions and thought processes. Are we really considering the consequences of our actions? Do we care? Are we content with the outcome and do we understand it's our own personal choices that cause the outcome? Do we feel good about the outcome?
All together now.... Think, feel and do. :)
Thinking (Critically) (Wisdom)
Feeling (Analytical) (Spiritual)
Doing (Action) (Progress)

Times and Roku is what thye ARE NOT doing by keeping old business models while inventing new ones. Sort of one hand not knowing what the other is doing. Roku rolls out new platforms but hasn't tackled the key question of selling more boxes. You need one for each TV. Why not discount multiple orders for people with more than one TV? Financial Times wants to make online access free or pay depending upon the frequency of use, but it continues to charge customers TWO fees if the customer subscribes to print AND wants an subscription online as well.
