Many of us would rather worry than think. The bible cautions us against worrying but counsels us to think. Whilst the former is negative and draining, the latter empowers us and opens us to great ideas and possibilities. Thinking challenges us to device solutions either from within us or redirects us to where the solutions we need can be found. Thinking weighs the options before us and helps us to prioritise the most important or result-oriented steps to solving a problem.
Thinking inspires results when you develop your analytical and problem-solving skills that helps you think through a process. Having an analytical mind and a problem-solving skills helps you create what I call systems thinking. That is, to break your thinking into processes where one thing would seamlessly lead into another in a series of chain reactions. You see, thinking is an active participatory process with a high success rate when your thoughts are focused and objectively marshalled out.
Analytical thinking helps you to thoroughly evaluate processes or procedures to form concepts. Ideas would flood your mind if the thinking processes followed the earlier prescribed ways of problem-solving, systemic thinking and the conception of ideas. Ideas, they say, rule the world. Ideas help you visualise your thinking till pictures translate from mere images into your new reality. Create futuristic pictures and projections through your proactive thinking and mindplot your way into that reality.
