THINK ABOUT IT!


This weekend was awesome for me, Saturday night was a time alone with myself, (AND THE HOLY SPIRIT OF COURSE) and guess what we were doing?



THINKING!
Yes, just thinking, and of course with a pen and paper.

Note this first, ANYTHING YOU DO WITHOUT A PEN AND PAPER BESIDE YOU (HARD OR SOFT) IS NOT WORTH THE EFFORT!

So what were we thinking about? Well me of course.
Talk is cheap you know, but action is hard, but even before action, taking time to really sit down to think, is also hard work; what’s more, it’s a prerequisite to action.

It’s dangerous to act without properly thinking and planning.
I sat down at about 5pm that Saturday morning, got out my notebooks, and a pen, and started to THINK!

A lot of plans had been made, a lot of lofty ideas and ambitions, but a good number of them were lacking in strategy and why, because of my deficient thinking habit within the past few months.
I was dedicating less time to deliberate strategic thinking, thus things were not moving as they should, because I lacked the strategy to implement them, and take action.

Thinking Time
Just as we have time to sleep, go to work and return, we MUST have time to think; a specific period of time set aside consciously, and deliberately for the sole purpose of mental discusses, rumination and meditation upon plans, ideas and goals.
It is at this “altar of thought”, and mental rumination that ideas are dissection, their internal constituents exposed, and their authenticity verified.

It is in this atmosphere of deep thought and mental evaluation and re-evaluation that the “WHAT” of ideas grow to become the “HOW” in strategic implementations.
It is at the place of aloneness, solitude and open hearted examination and re-examination of all thoughts, motives and intentions that ideas are purified, amplified and transformed into actions, businesses and organized knowledge.

It takes sacrifice, it takes time, it takes discipline; but most of all, it takes Deliberateness.

I can tell you boldly, the results of that one day session of thought provoking thoughts organized a mumbled collection of ideas and goals, into a complementary, symmetric and ordered list of sequential actions leading up to a desired goal.

My advice to me: KEEP THINKING
My advice to you, if I’m worthy: KEEP THINKING.
