“If I’m in control of my 24 hours once yearly, what would I do or achieve?”
I stopped jogging and started walking.
I was thinking and I could not come up with any answer. It surprised me because
I just didn’t know what I could do with such power!
My heart was wondering trying to
figure out what the answer was but to no avail. I could not answer this
question so I posted it on my status on a social network, there was no answer!
I guess people were clueless just like myself. This question kept me thinking for days
and weeks.
Finally, after some weeks I was able
to get an answer to this question. With this experience, I came to understand
why self discovery is difficult and equally important. I also came to
understand why certain things like questions in our lives are difficult to
explain, describe and answer. I understood that sometimes we have more
questions than answers in life. That questions that get you thinking are like
paths that lead to discovery (it could be self discovery). This path of
discovery leads you to these answers (which may be solutions to challenges in our lives). That is the power in thinking.
I realized when we give much thought
to any question that pose as challenge, we could actually figure out solution
to them by thinking through.
This is not the same as worrying. When
you are worried, you are not thinking about getting a solution. You are only
killing yourself with stress and maybe high blood pressure.
When you think, you want answers. You are focused on the question which may be a challenge in your life. However, when your worry you are not focused on getting answers, rather you are creating more problems. You are complicating the question you are seeking answers to.
We all have some questions yet to be
answered. But one thing I learnt from this experience is going the extra-mile
in trying to get answers. Tasking our brain just a little more could help!
And the reward – did I tell you how
exhilarating it was? It felt real good when I figured out my answer
Believe me, giving just a little more
thought to that question or challenge could actually invoke that power of thought
that are innately in us. You have that power in you. It is just left for you t reach in deep and tap it. As
for the answer to the question, check out my next post
I would be glad if you can share any experience that invoked the power of thinking in you.
