However, to keep the wheels that forward our lives turning, a certain kind of care must be accorded to the task of stitching the fragments of what we pull from the oasis of possibility into what can be accommodated by reality. We can call this task thinking.
We can define thinking, in it's simplest form, as the process involved in the production of ideas. And when we zero in our minds into using this process to bring a solution to a source of difficult (a problem), we can refer to it by the rather popular name: brainstorming.
In the journey to close the gap the separates where we are and where we would like to be, brainstorming functions as a lubricant that keeps our productivity engine moving. It helps churn out steps that we might take as we figure what to do next.
It's tempting to think of brainstorming as an activity reserved only for those in office buildings, who seat together in groups led by a supervisor in front of a white board. However it's important that we adopt this art in our personal lives and see how we might use it to iron out the issues that trouble us.
All that's required is that you write. You put down the thoughts that circulate your mind as they come to you. Keep judgement at bay and let the thoughts unravel in form of questions, prompts, and/or symbols. The result of your brainstorming session may be a messy essay, or a long list or a connection of drawings. What is important is that you embrace abstraction to bring some clarity and understanding to the issues you place in your focus. Because out of the found clarity will come potential paths of action - your next series of steps.
The lives of those who lead meaningful lives is seldom careless. They accord careful thought and intention to the issues that pick their interest and figure out how they might move forward. You may find it helpful to do same. Your solution may lie in the interaction between a pencil and a plain piece of paper from a mind willing to explore itself with a certain kind of productive care.
Enjoy!
