How to think?!

You have a problem, you gotta get the solution and to get that, you gotta think about it. So was I, thinking, thinking and THINKING! The thoughts were straying, they left no mark untouched on the scale of optimism. At a moment, it seemed no problem, forget about resolution. Sometimes deciding that which seems is really a problem turns to be a herculean task. All of a sudden, it looked like I was in a gutter like never before. Because the problem was the first of its kind for me, was caught in the thought, "Am I thinking it RIGHT?".  God! It was pain of some kind, so new to me, and very consuming.

I guess, my theory of "balance" works to perfection. You can't be low or high ALWAYS! Soon after a low, there would be a definitely a high in the wait. No fool would put in special efforts to traverse from high to low, but every optimist out there would try to get on the top, when going gets tough. Not denying any appreciation to the efforts, I wonder if it really requires it at least in special cases. A low would be followed by a high, you have sometimes nothing but to wait. Or a simple gesture can get you out of the mess. That said, I'm now even wondering, what's low?? Hmpf!

Well, the last paragraph was just to drive to the point that when all was going so bad, I could get out of it from an unexpected corner. A nice chat at a coffee break has lightened me up, though there was serious stuff in it, what matters is how I felt at the end of it. Light as a feather! Dialogues help you, and when you try and kill them, it takes a toll on you. Anyway, as a part of talk, got to know about this book called, "TEACH YOURSELF TO THINK." I've decided to grab a copy soon!

But what I really look forward is a book based on "How not to think" or even better, "How to stop thinking?" Blessed are the people who go through the phase of "thoughlessness". I, very surely suffer from thinking! Or atleast excessive of it. Hmm..
