Action

Posted on by philipdodson

Action leads to action and analysis leads to thoughts.

Thoughts lead to more analysis and more thoughts.

Therefore, thoughts lead to inaction.

It is a cycle that fulfils itself.

If the mind is silent, we can take action or accept and do nothing in the present moment. But if the mind is in the subconscious and full of thought, we will not take action as we will be consumed with the possible future outcomes of our proposed action.

Why are we not taught to spend less time in our minds and simply be?

We are not our thoughts

If we allow it to happen, we spend the vast majority of our physical existence creating endless thoughts about what we think is us derived from the past and our imagination of the future and then acting on those thoughts and seeing ourselves as those thoughts.

Our mind is a part of us and the thoughts that the mind creates are a part of us, but they are not us. We can choose to simply observe them without judging.

Once the mind controls rather than us controlling it, we then become our thoughts.

We are not our thoughts if we choose to be conscious.
