thinking

When you think outside the box, the box goes away.

As a Buddhist, I cannot think myself into a new way of living, I have to live myself into a new way of thinking.

To think is easy. To act is difficult. To act as one thinks is the most difficult.

Thinking is the talking of the soul to itself.

Think nothing and do nothing without a purpose directed to God, for to journey without direction is wasted effort.

You start feeling and thinking – you become alive.
You practice positive thinking – you change.
You open up to possibility thinking –
you heal, transform and transcend.” 
~ Darina Stoyanova ~

Thinking and consciousness are not synonymous. Thinking is only a small aspect of consciousness. Thought cannot exist without consciousness, but consciousness does not need thought.

Democracy deserves the best thinking possible. … The right of an individual to create new ideas and to expect a respectful, supportive climate for their expression is a human right too often ignored. The human right to think and be heard at higher, more complex and mutualistic levels is a necessary added freedom if diversity of religion or belief is to be guaranteed for the diverse human family.

The world we have created is a product of our thinking.
It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
