Thinking too much

Do you think too much? Do you come up with great ideas, but dont follow through with them because you gave it so much thought that you managed to think your self out of it? And then you ended back where you were originally, excpet worse; because when you were thinking about whether or not you should follow through with this amazing idea, you stopped living in the present. Through that thinking process, which you probably enjoyed - because you like to entertain ideas in your mind - you ignored all the joys that your present situation has to offer. When we do this for too long, we start to forget about how good our present situation is. The only way to enjoy it, is to dream of a better one! And bitch about this one!

And so we become dreamers and thinkers, who mean well, but grow increasignly less jovial about our life. We start to lose control and belief in ourselves, and we get to a point where we feel like our ideas will never become anything! Our hopes and aspirations will never become anything. We sit, stuck in a stale mate, never progressing, never ending a game of wishing. And this all occurs because of thought. But why does this thought occur? and stop us from mobillising?

Unfortunately in this society we are taught to think and not feel. Our educational system encourages decisions based on thought, and has little room for decisions based on feeling. For those of us who are truly the earths creatures, we are guided by our connection to the earth, and the feelings we receive from the universe. If your thoughts are ideas, and become easily made into a tornado of such, then you are placing too much importance on the thought process. Your ideas are beautiful. They are what makes this world shine bright, but you must remember that you never need to justify them. You must learn about your ability for inner knowingness, and always trust this, without needing further thought.

Our thought becomes the clouds in a beautiful blue sky. They clog up the beautiful clearness but fullness of that deep blue, and move in the way of the sun and its rays stopping its energy from reaching its home. Your life is that home, and you should not let those thoughts clog up and kill your life. Learn how to trust your inner knowingness.
