It’s not what you wanna do, it’s what you’re gonna do…
If that’s what you’re gonna do, what am I gonna do?…
(Song: Tough by Quavo & Lana Del Rey)
Every thought has a function, but choose them well, some can be like Botox: painful and unnecessary.
It’s been a long time since I wrote, I was too busy, and sometimes I need to recharge with experiences to come and share what I’ve learned, analyzed, etc.
This time I want to explore our thoughts, and how the root of their creation in our mind can sometimes be just a speculation of the natural interaction with our environment 🤓
I once read Donald Trump’s book, and he said something like “if you’re going to think, think positively”, I liked that phrase cuz it was like “of all the things you can think about, block what drains your energy”.. So I’m not a big fan of this guy, but in life you have to learn to extract the best from each person or situation.
The Sagittarius in me makes me extremely positive, but I have a philosophy
“If life in my mind is happy and perfect,
why would I complicate myself thinking about what I don’t have and call that real life”
I think I’ve read quite a bit about this, and people are more obsessed with thinking about what they don’t have than enjoying what they have. Also, I’m not a fan of the concept of happiness, oh cause here’s another of my philosophies:
“If you believe you’re sad, that’s okay cuz it’s part of our humanity, but as some great philosopher once said (or at least someone who could have said it if he existed)
‘sadness is just happiness that hasn’t finished charging’.”
So, be positive as much as possible.
Personally, I think social media is overrated, everyone obsessed with becoming the next ‘influencer’, sharing everything on these platforms helps us stay connected, but I wish what we shared had a bit of our essence and was valuable content. I’ve seen many people obsessed with this, I personally think that if you do it to store your memories it’s valid, but well, I’ve always been a fan of people doing what makes them happy, even if being ‘online’ does it.
Being off-line is a luxury that not everyone can or knows how to have, it’s the same with money. Personally, I got bored with that ‘shallow vibe’ and I’m dope in real life, and well, the money topic is peculiar and I won’t go deeper into it 😎
Confessions
I must confess that I’m an over-thinker, since I began to understand my environment, there were thousands of questions I didn’t know how to answer, and I got into many troubles trying to discover what was behind all those ideas in my mind. Pappa has always called me “troublegirl” and believe me, it’s not in vain haha 💃
However, the Taurus in me sometimes helps me control that curiosity with this superpower, you know, if someone talks to me about adventure, or something similar, my mind shuts down and I just want to go explore and venture into the unknown.
This is really crazy, you know, cuz it’s literally having two completely different beings fighting for control of my mind haha 👽
Anyway, I tell you this cuz success and pleasure are not correlated in the synthesis of life, but balance or believing that this concept exists helps us not feel full of regrets, and I think you know what I mean…
While one thing leads you to success, you shouldn’t forget to keep your feet firmly on the ground, otherwise your mind can go on a trip far away from you, forgetting the return route, and well, from experience, I can tell you that life can take everything away from you and make you land hard, as if it were saying ‘hey, you, yeah you, don’t forget that you’re not an NPC’ haha 😜
This will never be a coincidence, just like nothing that happens to you, everything has a purpose, you understand it when you learn to know yourself.
And why? Because coincidence is the action and reaction of cause and effect.
Yes, let’s delve deeper into What is a thought? Because if I write that I can choose thoughts, then, are thoughts choices?
Well, dear reader, choice is an illusion created between those who have power and those who don’t.
So, yes, you are the owner of your mind and therefore of your thoughts, these thoughts will become actions that will react with the environment, caused by a choice or impulse, with a positive or negative effect 🥸
Sometimes I get a bit deep, I know haha 👽
Peace is the real deal, don’t buy into anything else.
Personally, I think we’re taught so much to think that we must keep our needs full, that without realizing it we become too instinctive.
Social trends in this world are limitations that most try to put in your mind so you don’t reach your true potential. The humans we see who stand out do so because they face trends and prefer to maintain their essence.
In my opinion, I don’t pursue or want to imitate anyone, everything causes me to get bored too easily. To capture my long-term attention, you have to be genuine, cuz I identify fake ppl in nanoseconds 🧐
I have a question that often vibrates in my mind:
What is this life without the feeling of challenging myself every day to be my best version?
Call it potential, self-discovery, without fear of the unknown, I don’t know, conceptualize it as you prefer, but personally this is like real dopamine for me, it’s a feeling of
‘Okay, maybe I’ll win or maybe I’ll lose (applies to any field)
but I can’t miss out on what’s after trying’.
My FOMO isn’t related to the latest news on social media, my FOMO is the fear of missing something I haven’t explored, and in my life I’ve explored many things, but I don’t want to miss any of those I have left 💫
And you know, these are also thoughts that come from me, for me.
Once I met a guy to whom I told that I only lived worried about what happened to me and what I didn’t want to miss/enjoy, and that guy started to judge me as a self-centered person, and others have often labeled me as a narcissistic person, but Wow! How rude they can be.. but I’m not interested in changing their opinion 🤷♀️
The point is, that same guy shared his thoughts with me, and those thoughts helped me understand things that at my age I hadn’t understood or thought about, and consequently resulted in coincidence.
This is important, because we can’t live diving into our own thoughts, we all need insights from outside/others, older or even younger than us to be able to create a well-founded logical criterion.
No one owns absolute truth in their own judgment!
I have another philosophy about this:
‘There are people who suffer in hell by choice’
That is, if you are not capable of understanding yourself, you will hardly understand what the other is trying to convey to you.
There are people who suffer because their thoughts were influenced by their deepest fears, those fears are translated into experiences they try to avoid repeating, and we can’t put ‘punishment shackles’ for sins that are not ours.
That is, if something has to happen, it will hardly stop occurring, remember Murphy’s most famous law, plus the probability rate increases when you cling to that attachment, so live better, chill, philosophizing about topics that influence your INTEGRAL best version.
Your thoughts define you, and define your environment, so yes, if you’re going to think, THINK POSITIVE, don’t stay on autopilot either.
Bye now! ✌
