What Is Thinking?

WHAT IS THINKING?

Thinking is everything. Living is about your thinking, and life is about your thoughts. You think and you create your own thoughts. Your individual thoughts then become who you are. You’ve the freedom to control your thinking, or the bondage to be controlled by your thoughts. In other words, if your thinking is controlled by the Holy Spirit, God will speak to you; if your thinking is controlled by your flesh, Satan will change and distort your thinking without your knowing it. You’ve no choice in how you exist in this world—the kind of parents, and the family background. But you’ve your choice in giving a meaning and a purpose to your own existence. 

So, turn to God to find out what He has destined for you. Your existence has nothing to do with your gifts and talents, but everything to do with your destiny from God—who you are and what you are meant to be.

But, according to Albert Einstein, thinking is difficult, and that's why so people do it. No matter how difficult it may be, thinking can change your perceptions and also the realities of everything in your life, just as William Shakespeare once said: "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." Even John Milton, the famous English poet, also had this to say: "The mind is its own place, and in itself can make Heaven of Hell, or a Hell of Heaven." 

Thinking is a process of self-reflection, without which there's no self-awareness and, hence, no personal growth and no development. A static life is never a life worth living.

Are you thinking all the time?

Always think about the meaning and purpose of life and living. Life must have a meaning, and living must have a purpose. Why do people want to live and survive in this world? Not just because their parents gave birth to them, but because they want to "enjoy" life and living.

So, what's your meaning and purpose of life in this world--just to "enjoy" yourself? 

Remember, God has created you for a specific purpose, which is your destiny. So, seek and find it.
