How about thinking for a living!

Every human being needs to live his own life. You can help others to live their life by not interefering with them.

Is it possible to live a life without thinking? After reading the title and now this question may be enough to snap someone. Think again and they may say..You can't, after all we think. Dont' we? I agree and my answer is a resounding 'Yes' we do, but not nearly enough.

Now let's look at what I'm trying to say. Our education system makes us to go through a school system where our brains store in knowledge and we become qualified in the discipline that we choose. At this stage as young adults we start our career.

After you take up a job, you learn that you are not paid for what you know, but more particularly what you do with what you know. Now you begin to look at life with a serious eye.

The greatest tragedy of life is that the majority of people try and not succeed compared to the few who do succeed. You may have to do some "house cleaning" to live your best life. Clear your life path by throwing away the clutter that you may have collected over the years.

For most of us our life or 24 hours could be divided into three parts.
1) Eight hours a day for rest and sleep.
2) Eight hours a day for work or business or occupation.
3) The remaining eight hours is your free time.

Your free time is the only time you have, to divide among the things that can improve your life. What would you like to do during this free time.
Play, Read a book, Meet up with friends, Watch and reflect over the amazing beauty of nature, Tend to your Garden, Climb mountains, Do Nothing etc., etc. You choose how you'll allocate your time. But think and do it.

Most of us work to earn a living wage. What do we do the money we earn? Are we capable of saving and do we save anything? Saving is an aspect of character which reflects a person's sense of purpose and his ability to manage his affairs. The habit of saving does away with the habit of wastage. Think and save what you can for if you go into debt you'll not have peace of mind.

You have a right to happiness and this is is your life. If you are unhappy about your past, close the door upon that aspect of your past and devote your time to live in the present. Make sure your work and your money benifit someone besides yourself.

Do not hurt anyone in order that you may succeed. The world is full of people who have learned from their bad experience, some even having served prison time to ultimately accept that dishonesty never pays.
