THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THINKING AND SOAKING IN INFORMATION
It is said that 2 percent of the world’s population thinks, while 3 percent of the world’s population think they think and 95 percent would rather die than be thinkers. This sound absurd but it’s actually true and below is the reason why.
Most people today soak up information and consume data from news print, social media, listening to radio and watching programming from television. They are literally programmed by thinking done on their behalf which is fed to them through various media platforms.
Friends, the fact of the matter is that there is a difference between soaking in information and actually thinking. Just because you are taking in information in your mind does not really mean you are thinking.
Thinking is very different from consuming information. Thinking is creative. Thinking is about engaging your own intelligencia and reasoning. Thinking is taking a thought and being the architect of its reality. Thinking causes a manifestation of possibilities to emerge. Instead of waiting to be fed by information, thinking allows you to have your own reasoning applied. Thinking is what solves problems for humanity. It brings innovation and creates inventions.
Friends, we really become what we think about and if we don’t think, then we become the programming and the information we have been soaking in through various media. So these are my questions for you today.
Is your life a product of thinking, or is it a product of the information you have been soaking in? Secondly are you going to be part of the 2 percent, or the 3 percent or the 95 percent?
