Have you ever heard of the expression, a penny for your thoughts? You see someone in deep thought and wonder what are they thinking? A good idea, which is a thought could be worth a whole lot more than a penny! Thinking is the highest function we are capable of, yet most of the time we are not really thinking at all. We are worrying, ruminating or complaining. These are thoughts, but not high functioning ones. It is estimated that we think approximately 60,000 thoughts a day, however they are usually the same habitual thoughts you were thinking the day before, and the day before that, and so one.
“Until thought is linked to purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment.“
James Allen
Let’s dive a bit deeper on this thought, shall we? You see, intelligence is the ability to learn and understand or deal with new and trying situations.
There are a few key words here.
- Understanding- which is vital to learning and can only be done with a relaxed mind. A relaxed mind can be achieved by understanding the principles of universal laws.
- Purpose,-which will be your main driver to accomplish high functioning thought.
- Learning- which requires awareness.
Asking introspective questions to keep your mind open to new possibilities is the way to access those hidden answers that are waiting for you to receive them.
It all begins with a thought. Are you ready to think about it? You never know of what good idea is just waiting for you to discover it.
