Expand and Evolve your thinking.

in #life6 years ago (edited)

You are your thought process. Your thought process helps form a better you and you must be in true lining with it.
The framework you have selected for your life is a starting point. As you experience life, test it out and see what works for you and what doesn't, hold on to those things that work and improve on them, for those that doesn't work, let them go. When you have time, analyze your life and refine your framework philosophy.
Expanding and evolving your thought pattern and process is what is needed to achieve a win in life. Many fail to take a deep look into what they are up against and what will make for the win they truly deserve.

Over time, as you solve problems and assess the quality of the decisions you have made, you will be able to evolve from where you started from into something autonomous of the original philosophy. Life is made up of philosophies that helps decipher the very wins and the fails.
The wins are few and that is why we have so very movers and shakers around, the fails are a dozen per second and that has formed the creation of a community of the lows.


I remember back in the 80s, there was a mad man who was called "Ayo the Philosopher." I didn't get to know why he was called that except for that he talks really deep. The villagers know him very well and they said his stories to us as kids. You wanna hear the story???
Okay I will tell.

Ayo the philosopher, was said to be a very brilliant young man who studied abroad and has so many accolades for his contribution to the educational sector in the UK. As a young Nigerian who got a scholarship to study in Cambridge, he left his parents at the very early age of 15 when he passed his A Levels with flying colors.
That achievement was what earned him a pass to the UK. he finally graduated with honors and went on to get a job as an associate professor at the age of 29.
He soon got married, had children with a white lady and before you know it, boom! they were divorced and he lost everything including his job. Ayo returned home after struggling to make his case unsuccessfully and relapsed into a state of no expansion of thoughts.
For months, all he talked about where his exploits overseas and how he broke every academic record in Cambridge. He would riddle the villagers of the majesty of the London Bridge and the beauty that was the Buckingham Palace. He even showed pictures and was privileged to even have a hand shake and photo with Queen. The days soon rolled to months and months to years and Ayo became a Philosopher.

Moral of the story is, Ayo refused to expand his thought process, he stopped evolving when he got himself into a state of pity and living out the old days in the present.
He did have a rough time due to some maybe, bad decisions, but he should be wise enough to know how not to stay down to dwell on the past. He was according to the story an intelligent young man.



I Feel Blessed!


Do not become "Ayo the Philosopher".

There are too many "Ayo the philosopher" around today and I see quite a handful on Steemit, more on Facebook and instagram and around the streets I walk on daily.
You are your thought process and you can only make the best of your life living it truthfully.

Become a critical thinker.

Keep track of where you have obtained the basis for ideas, tenets, theories, etc., in your new philosophical pursuit. Being able to trace your conclusions back to their source will help in a big way defend your ideas or help you push them further. Very little develops in a vacuum. You must be void of the vacuum so you get a process going that will bring good progress.

Referring to what lessons you have seen and learnt in life, will help your thinking cap stick to your head rightly.
When you display your depth of knowledge and understanding of existing philosophies, you will have a win like no other.


Make the world a better place for someone today!

Right there is the absolute truth.

We must all display the knowledge we have for us to show we know and until we show that we know, we can't get people to follow.

Hey ejemai... Happy week...Well written what i'd just say to buttress the good thing you have written about Thought is that ...
*The more you meditate upon good thoughts, the better will be your world and the wiser you become, the better you will live.

Lesson learned: Do not let life misfortunes keep you down. Learn from them (Expand), Get up (Evolve) and push forward (win).
Awesome write up sire.

This was deep bro @ejemai. The story of Ayo the philosopher touched me the most. There are truly so many of those kind of folks in the world. They always refer to past achievements never to a future plan or a project that they are on.
It is indeed death and a lack of expansion.
To be broken to the point where thought cease to flower new ideas and only memory works is indeed sad.

We should indeed work towards expanding our thinking, working on our ideas, gathering knowledge and using them. We should be up and about making a difference with our creativity and ability. That is how value is added to the community and that is how communities grow
