Just Think About It

There are quite a few people that don't really care as much as they should about the effects that their choices have on the world around them. It's certainly a daunting truth to be faced with the fact that you are your own responsibility. Your happiness is your own responsibility. But at the end of the day, when you create a situation that you really enjoy, you know that you have the power to keep it that way.

Granted, sometimes very traumatic things happen suddenly and without warning. They are the changemakers of our lives, providing the opportunity to bring attention to certain aspects of our character that are in desperate need of "correction". And if those opportunities are missed or ignored, can lead to harsher notices in the future. We all have experience with this. Where the same "bad" thing keeps happening and the standard reaction to think that it's just the way of things without learning anything from it.


It's difficult to learn something that you don't understand. Which is exactly why the wisest proverbs are always written in analogies. Explaining through a likened understanding. Language is a deeply flawed effort at attempting to bridge the gap between rational and irrational thought. So, while we might understand a specific truth in our mind, at the same time, we lack the knowledge of how to manifest that truth. For example, let's say that a person has faith in the existence of God. No materialistic sensory would ever support this belief. The only support would be the perception of God through other senses. Those that can't be explained. As when people refer to their "heart", "soul", or "gut" as feeling. And the way that we would get in touch with those other senses is different for everyone. But that's where creativity comes in. Through the discovery of those senses lies the key to ultimate understanding of the path to inner contentment and bliss.

It's doing by way of thinking, but thinking "correctly", and only you would know exactly what that is. Realizing what the best choice is because you're really thinking about it with as much awareness as you can, which technically, can be considered infinite and the possibilities endless. More positive outcomes are created by positive cognitive thinking that is derived from the understanding that could only come from within yourself. Without any emotional attachment to the outcome. If nothing else, it's worth a try.
