Be More Relaxed in Your Thoughts

After all is said and done, how do you know for sure that you are not on another wild goose chase, that what you now think is the right thinking process is nothing but the next available option or a need to venture into another compulsive thought flight?

How do you know that you were right when you labelled a premise "the wrong premise"? How are you sure it is not a case of misdirection and you are looking at the wrong cause?

The answer to these is that you need to be more relaxed in hitching a thought ride. Premise leads to greatness and success if well chosen. It also leads to disaster and destruction, if chosen wrongly. How you know you have the right premise is by what you see ahead and, more importantly, how you feel down inside about what you see.

Slow Down and Think Backwards

If you find that you have hitched a wrong plane in your thought cruise or have nurtured thoughts that, although they seemed cool and sharp at the time, did not lead you to the right destination, then you need to slow down and think backwards to identify where you have missed it or what wrong premise you had latched onto.

Life is Tougher Without Thinking


 Generally, life can be tough. But it is tougher on those who do not apply much thinking to their ways and doings, and toughest on people who live or work with them because they are usually the first at the receiving end of the consequences of thoughtlessness.

Thinking Can Either Make or Cost You a Fortune

Thinking can either make or cost you a fortune

 

The ability to think through a process and come up with a clear picture of what needs to be done, and in what order, can either make you a fortune, if mastered, or be costing you a fortune if unknown.

Insight is Slow but Incisive

Insight is slow but incisive

 

Wisdom is not always the most vocal or the most eloquent; neither is the solution always the most popular or the most promising option. But insight, by virtue of the labour it places on itself before expression, is usually slow but incisive.

Not Everyone Who Sees Discerns the Truth

Not everyone who sees discerns the truth

 

Not everyone who has a head uses it to think beyond the banalities of life; not everyone who speaks knows the rudiments of what they are harping about; and not everyone who sees discerns the truth from the facts.

The Problem Often Lies in the Premise of Thought

The problem often lies in the premise of thought

 

The premise of thought or its subsequent action is usually where the problem is. Premise is what makes some people conclude that suicide is the best option for them. It is also what makes some quit trying altogether, close shop, retreat or take some steps that are later proved to be brash, surface or ill-formed.
