I think about different perspectives and different ways to see things. I want to see what I turn it into... like...

This is what it is(1 variable)>>>>This is what it could be(many variables depending on the options I see)>>>Choice(one of the options or perspectives is chosen)>>>Action (realizing this choice into reality)

And then from there I chose how to tackle it based on what my motivation is (i.e. fun, work, creativity, ect). For example, at my school's Model UN club I saw it as a way to either learn current world politics, discuss world issues and hear different solutions, or have some fun and play devil's advocate and see just how far I can take the more absurd and rediculous arguments. I chose devil's advocate, and me and my friends are always Iran or North Korea because their perspectives play the best clown to the West's straight man. The result in action? Huge laughs!

I find that following through with that model really works well and helps me execute my decisions. It's really good motivation.

I wouldn't rate how I think about my thinking because it wouldn't go anywhere or mean anything or make any sense. I don't really think about my thinking, but rather my own personality and matters of self esteem and self confidence/ability, and what my own life is worth and how I should handle it. I'm more interested in the functions of creativity than thought anyway...
