To Go Up, Think Up

 
 

“If you think down, you will go down. If you think up, you will go up. You’ll always travel in the direction of your thinking.”

T. D. Jakes

 

Positive good thinking—or deep thought— is the forte of the enlightened cream in any society. 

 

Deep thought is what generates powerful questions that can lead humankind—both individually and collectively—to breakthroughs in the face of disabling predicaments. 

 

When we embrace deep thinking as a regular practice, we may be surprised to discover that human mind has the capacity to overcome almost any problem.

 

Therefore, let’s make time to ask ourselves salient questions that can provoke deep thoughts on how to realize our purpose and maximize our potential. 

 

 Ask Essential Questions to Provoke Deep Thoughts

Our ultimate capacity is not limited by the size of our problem but by the strength of our thought. 

 

If our habitual thinking is profound and deep, our actions and results will be meaningful and significant. 

 

But if our habitual thinking is shallow and mundane, our actions and results will naturally be average and commonplace. 

 

As T.D Jakes, the author of ‘Crushing’ does conclude, all human beings tend to go in the same direction with their line of thoughts. 

 

So, to discover if you are one of the rare few with a tall and meaningful purpose, examine the nature of your solitary contemplation.

 

Now I implore you to examine what you habitually think deeply about.

 

Are you thinking deeply about who you really are?

 

Are you thinking deeply about why you are here on this planet?

 

Are you thinking deeply about where you are going in life?

 

Are you thinking deeply about the consequences of your daily actions?

 

Are you thinking deeply about your own mortality?

 

Are you thinking deeply about your legacy?

 

Are you thinking deeply about eternity and your place within it?

 

Are you thinking deeply about your Creator and what He expects from you?

 

If you perceive sense in any of these questions, then…

 

Now is the high time you carved out space to think deeply about the most essential questions on life itself.

In conclusion, if you don’t want to go down, think up!
