You've probably had the experience of failing to hear what someone is saying to you because you're busy thinking of how to answer them. There is a time for thinking, for questioning and judgment, for analyzing and strategizing, and there is a time for opening yourself up to experience the world around you. You are well equipped to think, and you are also equipped to listen, to feel, to see, to experience.
Thoughts can be powerful.
The absence of thoughts can be powerful as well. Many things are annoying, for example, simply because you think they're annoying. Pursue your thoughts with vigor, and when the situation calls for it, let your thoughts be still. Strength and wisdom come not only from excitement and complexity, but also from a quiet and peaceful awareness of what is. Jr. All rights reserved.
