#STORYTELLING: THE THINKING (WO)MAN






"I think, therefore I am." - Aristotle

This Greek man was onto something here. Of Olympic proportions too.

No one really knows you exist until something from within you presents itself to the world.
Your voice, your opinion, your words on paper or your what your fingertips tell landmine fields of social media.
And all these actions, subtle or not, all come from the power source of thought.
When you think, you create for yourself the space in which you are able to filter what the world throws at you, pick bits and add them to the rest of what makes sense to you as an individual.

I personally love experiencing the thoughts of a person that I can see has exposed themselves to all possible facts, non-facts, myths...to emerge as someone with a solid and customised train of thought.

This is a gradual process, and unfortunately the Rome of your mind will not be built in a day.
Thought requires nurturing as a baby would. Attention to detail. Consistency in training. Exposure to material. Openness and maturity towards criticism. Day in, day out.
Strive to push the boundaries of your mind, until you leap from its ledge. Only to realise that there were no boundaries to begin with.

Then proceed to descend onto this world's surface with foresight, hindsight and all that exists in between.

And if you are not convinced of what impactful difference that your thought, voice, opinion as a tiny speck on this enormous earth can make in this world.....

Try asking the mosquito in a spacious bedroom at night.
