Thinking is a hard job…. It is so much easier to be busy!!!

Thinking is a hard job…. It is so much easier to be busy!!!

Can you think of the last time you were able to sit silently for at least about an hour, focusing your energies inward, and giving way to the most valuable asset that nature has given you…. “Your Brain”…

For most of us, it has become so difficult to get ourselves to a stability of being…. a state of calmness and focus where we are able to sit and think…

Thinking has become a ‘thing’ that we do alongside our ‘busy routines’. This is counter intuitive, for, thinking is what creates the vision for our lives as well as the the ensuing objectives and the subjective actions which then hopefully make us productive…. And being busy, in that scenario, is possibly an effect…. The cause being…. ‘Thought’!

Unfortunately, we are so ‘busy’ that what should have been the ‘effect’ has become the ’cause’ for us to not be able to allocate the time that is needed for us to ‘think’….

Social media… chatting applications… the Internet… the amount of time we spend in traffic… phones… television… music… The constant desire and the impelling need to stay connected with everyone and everything around us…. has been the biggest disservice we have been doing to ourselves for we have no time to think!!!

Here’s how you solve it… Make it a daily scheduled, timed chore… where you force yourself to sit and think for at least 15 minutes… Stay disconnected from the rest of the world for just these precious few minutes…. Do it until you connect back with your inner self… it will not take you more than a week to get there with this exercise… but once there… you will quickly realize the futility of all the time you spent… away from yourself!

It is not “thinking” that is difficult… It is getting yourself to a point where you are able to think that is very hard today… And so the human survival system’s response to the situation is to take the easy way out, i.e., to get yourself busy with stuff… and not even giving yourself time to be able to think about what you are really missing out on… depriving yourself of….

Thinking is hard! But who has achieved anything without hard work… On the contrary, it is easy to gain pity (from the self or from those in our entourage) for being busy and not getting what (or where) you were supposed to!!!

Think of what I said for a little bit… it may be hard… but it will make sense😉….
