Thinking is an important part of human life which plays a key role in progress and growth. When you think, you apply your mind to solving problems, comprehending stuff through cognitive abilities and a lot more. One of the capabilities of a human mind is to consciously filter out undesired things while extracting the best from life experiences. The human mind, if used wisely, acts like a sieve to separate the unwanted from the wanted. It protects you from harmful thoughts and the dangers which arise from them. To stay alert and conscious of your thoughts, speech and actions is what safeguards your overall health and wellbeing. It is therefore, important to maintain a certain sanity and decency in your thoughts, speech and actions to lead a healthy, prosperous and peaceful life.

It is said that most people sleepwalk in life. They don't give much attention to their thoughts or actions. A person in that metaphorical sleep misses things which an aware being can sense relatively easily. Waking up is a conscious choice which can shift your journey entirely in a new direction. There is always the danger of retreating to that place of deep sleep where worries and problems are often overlooked or ignored but not solved. Waking up and then staying awake however, requires a lot of effort, energy and enthusiasm. Awareness results into a constant assessment and reassessment of the direction of the journey you are on. Therefore, things tend to work for the awake and aware. It is a constant hustle and struggle although worth the effort and price one pays.

Conscious Thinking

Focus on the Right Path

There can be hurdles and blocks in your path of righteousness. It can get overwhelming at times. Testing times can therefore, make or break you. Your job, instead of focusing on hurdles, is to keep that laser focus on your end goal. It takes a big heart, tenacity and an undying spirit to stay on the path. One should focus on the real prize rather than obstacles in the way leading up to it. A powerful thought can create its own momentum provided you offer the initial push. An aircraft’s take off is facilitated by the initial push; the rest of the flight is effortless and comparatively easier. And, then with minimal effort, however, along with some wise guidance you can literally enjoy the rest of your journey quite happily.
