A Moment to ponder: Some Thoughts on Thinking


Thinking is starting point for everything. Our situations & circumstances anytime depend largely on what thinking we have applied. Hence, it is necessary to discuss & understand - Qualitative thinking & Methods of thinking.

In words of Dr. Stephen Covey - everything is created in mind before it is created actually or physically. Hence, the QUALITY OF ACTUAL CREATION will be determined by the QUALITY OF THINKING . It is the ability to envision, to see the potential & ability to detect our own uniqueness (Uniqueness vision = Dirgh-Drishti & Dur-Drishti).
It also needs high powered brain activity & is based on human capabilities of (a)
Imagination (b) Conscience (c) Independent will & (d) self-awareness .These four makes us say that I CAN CHANGE THE PROGRAM GIVEN TO ME FROM CHILDHOOD BY MY PARENTS, TEACHER, SOCIETY ETC.

THINKING helps to widen our vision, goals & not get restricted by what are our limits today. You should / can think big to achieve big or give it to others & circumstances (reactive). Choice remains with us how we want to navigate our life?

It must be acknowledged that in our material world, the focus on things and on "having" rather than on "being" makes for great confusion. The contact with our inner self & life vision can be regained if attempted continuously. Once listened to, that inner voice will give confident guidance and direction to a better future. Values are required for using good means to achieve good goals.

In summary, THINKING should include:
Far-sighted Vision (Dur-Drishti)
In-sight (Dirgh Drishti)
Value based
Independent of programs given by elders/ teachers
Creativity & imagination
Own Will
About others & than myself
