Stop Thinking About Why, Focus On What Can Ben Done Now!

Our mind is very strange, it can think and think and think and think deep in reasons why events happen or why life is the way it is.

This is not always necessary, healthy or helpful and can waste time without gaining much. At these times, when you realize, best is to stop thinking why and start taking action, do something about it now!

If something happens to you that has hurt you, don't waste your time loop through the mind trap of why and why and why but just focus on what is the best and right thing to do now.

Of course there must be a balance, there are times you should ponder about reasons and there are times you should focus on taking action without being too much worried about reasons for events.

The Karmic Law


This law simply states, what you put out, express and sow in the world by words, thoughts, beliefs and/or actions, will return to you in the same manner it was given, you will reap them and they will be reflected back to you.

This is Newton's Third Law of Motion: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

You Reap What You Sow.

Action:
Just being aware that you reap what you sow, will encourage you to choose more wisely what you sow by your words, thoughts, beliefs and actions.

There Are Always Consequences

No matter you take action or inaction, there are always consequences. In other words, you can't stop consequences and the world don't wait until you take an action. The world continuously produces consequences.

What you can do though is to shape the consequences by taking the appropriate action quickly.

Bring Thyself Unto Account Each Day


Successful people are those who bring themselves unto account each day. They review what they did. What didn't go that well and what they could do differently.

This can be applied to education, business, relationships and everything we're involved with.

We're never perfect although we should aim for perfection and continuously correct ourselves towards perfection. This means we should be humble enough to see our own mistakes/weaknesses and strengths with a positive attitude and learn from those experiences quickly so that those experiences support our ongoing future success.

Action Plan:
Once of the best ways to support this is to bring ourselves unto account each day by completing a personal learning experience table with the following columns:

Column 1: Issue / Mistake / What wasn't that great
Column 2: Lesson / Experience / What could I do differently? / How could I do it differently?

Completing this table daily or weekly ensures that you're always on the right track. You see your own mistakes humbly and learn from them quickly which means greater experience and higher rate of success for your future is guaranteed.

It's not about regretting about the past but it's about enhancing our experience by being a bit more thoughtful about our own behaviour, actions and words every day.

You can complete this table even for smallest issues; e.g. which way was longer to get to a destination, which travel ticket was better to be bought, which words shouldn't have been said and why, etc.

How to Make The Right Best Decision Easily?

To make the best decision about something between you and the other party (e.g. playing a chess game) for example, you'd need to analyse the situation first then make your decision.

For empowering your analysis, you'd need to have knowledge and information from 2 completely separate points of views:
  1. Values, motivations, weaknesses, opportunities, desires, laws, needs, goals and analysis of the situation wrt your own point of view
  2. Values, motivations, weaknesses, opportunities, desires, laws, needs, goals and analysis of the situation wrt the other party point of view
The first point of view is natural and almost everyone can do that by default; it's like a chess game that you see your own movements and opportunities easily. People whose decisions are solely based on this point of view are often the ones who loose the game.

The second point of view if not more important it is as important to help you make the bes decision. It requires extra effort and perhaps wisdom to forget yourself completely and see the world from the counterparty point of view. It's like a chess game that you must analyse the opportunities and weaknesses of the couterparty as well to be able to make your best decision.

In this way, you always WIN and Make The Best Possible Decision Easily :)

The Power of Whispering

This might sound bizzare for many but I believe whispering has great immediate benefits:
  • Improves concentration and focus on the topic dramatically specially when you're in a distracting or noisy environment or even when you're alone and have too many thoughts.
  • Improves your memory because speaking out the words greatly helps memorizing them.
Although you might seem a bit crazy if speaking to yourself too loudly ;)
