Some years ago, I recognized the frustration of trying to keep up to
all the things I needed to know, remember and make happen every
day of my life.
It encompassed online and offline to such a degree I was too sure
my thoughts were making me the most dysfuntional person I had
ever known.
I have since learned that dysfunctional thoughts are those tiny snippets
of thought that come to you while you are trying so hard to work a project to desired results. Dysfunctional thoughts can
also be partial images you wish you could remember. Both the
thought and the image can disappear as fast as they come into
your mind unless you capture them immediately.
Thus I began a dear diary sort of daily recordings. It had no
rhyme or reason. I would just record things as they came to me.
It was a glorified mess. I never knew a mind could literally daydream
the hours away. That time could come and go with no sense of
completion.
Cognitive Powers
Some of the most noted people of our times are so recognized
because they paid attention to their minds. They learned the
mental action of acquiring knowledge and understanding through
thought, experience, and the senses.
Can you and I harness this power? Train our brains to work with
us and our fingers to immediately record? We can. We will if what
we are doing is important to us.
Seven plus years of recording history
Day by day, dated and recorded, Frans daily actions took shape. If
I go back and read them, I find the places I let myself down. Where
I should have stood still instead of rushing into some new phase of
Internet Marketing.
Today I grin, then I would have been mortified and tagged myself
a little short on the brain power. One thing I learned I did that I
like to do even today. A new thought, recorded so it is not lost, is
food for great conversations; for brainstorming for clarity or just
easy fellowship.
A New Direction From a Friend
Those talks led me to a new way to format my recordings, to give
them logical direction. Instead of a dated daily diary-style format,
why not give them a year, a month, and then within, folders that
included your daily actions related to your online focus. Within
those folders could come the files that contained your experience,
your sense of recognition of something worthy, and those forever
thought and image snippets.
I am forever thankful to you Reverend Jimmy. We taught each
other a lot.
My Bad Habit – or is it?
I am passionate about what I do. Is that an excuse for what I am
about to share with you? I think not. What is happening in our
conversations, if a thought we share grabs me, I interrupt. I have
to express in words the crazy picture or thoughts that blew in and
I know would blow out before I could get them down or shared.
By giving them my voice, I have given them life. I will not forget them.
When I make record of them I will recognize by using my cognitive
processes, I have generated new knowledge that may or may not be
of importance to both of us before the day is done.
Wait – and wait again, please? My dysfunctional mind is about to
lead me into more knowledge. Ah, but it can wait for another time.
A final thought …
Turn the ‘I’ of this article into me or you or your name and see if
these same things have not happened to you. A lost thought because
you patiently waited for your turn? Or you forgot your pencil or
have no paper to right now that idea that could make everything
you dreamed become closer to reality?
Let your passions take you where they will. Is it really important to
always be the polite one? Or is a little dysfunctional thought the
food of success?
Till next time …
