G'day Funsters. Hope you are enjoying your Tuesday and annoying the crap out of everyone with your incredibly positive attitude. Just because you can. If you're succeptible to headaches you my want to read today's post slowly. With no distractions. Or you may wanna come back tomorrow. Here we go...
"As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is." (Proverbs 23:7)
Lately I've been thinking about thinking. How I think and how others think. And about what kind of impact that thinking has on our reality. My Reality. Your reality. But then I thought, maybe our thinking is our reality? There's another thought. I guess in many ways our thinking is our internal reality, so perhaps a better question would be, what type of impact does our internal dialogue have on our external reality? Our practical life experience? How we function in the real world? By the way, where's the unreal world? I suppose when we use the term real world, we are typically referring to what we experience as our physical world; work, school, home, suburbia.
Recycled Thoughts
So how does our thinking influence our relationships, career, personal endeavours, choices, challenges, behaviours and our ability to succeed out here on the big blue ball; the stuff that happens outside our head? And if the above verse from the book of Proverbs is any indication, then people were exploring the relationship between thoughts and reality thousands of years ago. This is certainly not a new discussion. In fact, it's ancient. Someone has already thought my thought. Or maybe I'm re-thinking theirs. Perhaps nobody has absolute ownership of individual thoughts. Maybe those thoughts have existed forever and we simply claim them as our own at different stages of our own journey and development? I wonder if there are any original thoughts in 2008, or are they simply recycled? So, if I'm interpreting the thoughts of the ancient scholars correctly (and who knows if I am), then our thinking determines who we are, what we become and what we create. I think.
My head hurts.
DonnieDarko
Have you ever really thought about how you think? It's a little scary isn't it? Can you control it? Manage it? Change it? Do you want to? Does it empower you or hold you back? Is your head a fun place to be or is there a touch of DonnieDarko about the space between your ears? Perhaps your headspace alternates between Disneyland and the Twilight Zone. Mine does. That's normal right? Don't get me started on normal again. There are lots of things we can give up - cigarettes, drugs, junk food, arguing, swearing - but we can't give up thinking. Although I've met a few people who seriously test that hypothesis. So I guess it all comes down to how we think?
Do you ever consider the relationship between your internal reality and your external reality? That is, the connection between what goes on in your head and the type of practical results you're producing in your life? We know there's a relationship but the question is, how do we manage one to maximise the other?
What's a Story Without a Flow Chart?
If we wanted to get a little more scientific and analytical (and a little less philosophical and weird) about the relationship between our thinking and the results we produce in our life, then we could come up with a little flow chart (of sorts). If I knew how to draw in this publishing program, then I would draw you a circular flow chart. I can't, so I won't.
Probably a good thing; my drawing is crap.
So here's my picture-less flow chart:
(1) Our thinking determines the (2) decisions we make (and don't make), which in turn dictates (3) how webehave (what we do and don't do), which determines the kind of(4) results we produce, which in turn shapes our (5) life reality(our practical experience out here in the physical world).
So it would seem there is a direct correlation between how we think and what we experience in our day to day life. Not only cerebrally (internally) but practically and physically (externally).
A couple of logical questions might be...
(1) Is it possible to re-program the internal dialogue to change the external reality?
(2) How do we do it?
If only I knew the answers.
Just kidding.
We'll explore those questions tomorrow.
