The Brain

Sometimes the brain wants to race like a horse. It goes into past, future and baselessly evaluates the present. While ignores the most important thing of all, the self.

We never had the time to look into ourselves, our mind. Nor we treat it as an essential thing. How often do you stop and asks the questions that in return questions our existence, our behavior, and our habits? How often to you questions your thoughts? How often do you questions the way you work, communicate and network? Well you probably don't asks these, and neither I.

"When we are not engaged in thinking about some definite problem" , said Dale Carnegie in his book, "we usually spend about 95% of our time thinking about ourselves." Yeh it is true. We think about ourselves. But we don't think the way it should be done. We think about our accomplishments, good traits, admires ourselves, imagines fake scenarios of giving a public speech, buying a new car, or giving a gift to someone we care about. That's what I have said in the start, we touch every corner of universe in our thoughts except the self.

You need to change the pattern. Start asking questions no one asks. Question everything. Question your interior world more than the exterior world you live in. Let the world call you mad. Because that's what our society does. When they fails to understand you, they will call you mad and your thoughts irrational and fake. They even used such words for Baruch Spinoza, a leading philosopher of the Dutch Golden Age. But in the end you will find the most precious thing in your life, the self.
