Don't deliberate, DISTRACT!

Thinking is a tool that has been granted to all human kind and of which all other animals have been deprived. Whereas all animals act on passion and instinct, we humans “ think” or so it is believed.

History has proven that although we have been given the gift of thinking, we have not yet learnt to use it for our good, let alone master it.

As is with young ones, when they fix their eyes on something, they holler and cry until their needs are met, so it is with us "GROWN UPS".

The best solution would be to DISTRACT yourself from it and get yourself occupied with something else. Say your hobby, for instance.

In no way am i hinting at giving up your dreams, goals and objectives and suffice with what you already have. Be positive and optimistic but accept whatever your situation is and solve the problem when the time is right, without deliberating on it in the present.

The idea is, this life is too short, life hereafter may be eternal but this one is too short for deliberating over aspects that are out of your control, detract yourself and get busy with something else that makes you feel better, laugh and be merry. There will always be things that bring upon hopelessness and dejection and when they do, DISTRACT. (

I am hoping that by typing this word in capital letters it would be imprinted it on my mind.)

For instance, If you come across a hurdle while driving that you know you would not be able to cross, you steer around or change your course, however when a similar situation arises in our daily process of thinking, goal setting and achieving we go for a head on collision with the obstacle keeping us from following our dreams.

Don’t deliberate, DISTRACT.

Young ones and grownups are all the same. We holler, cry and get annoyed when the world denies what we yearn for. When we come across something that bothers us, we just cannot get over it, we ponder over it persistently. That is our biggestproblem.

Just like we DISTRACT our little siblings to get them to stop crying and asking for things we know are not good for them, we need to DISTRACT ourselves when we come across something that is bothering us, to something that makes us happy. Don't deliberate, DISTRACT.
