Are You A "Thinker"? Sometimes it's not as rewarding as you think ;)

In school, teachers love "thinkers".  As a mom, I told my own kids and everyone else's kids that I love "thinkers".  So many of our subjects in school rely on getting to a deeper analysis to solve the problem and we are rewarded for those problem-solving skills.

As we expand our conscious awareness, we sometimes get caught up in trying to over-analyze the "why did this happen" and "how could they have done that" questions.  In these examples, over-thinking will hold us back from acceptance and acceptance is the key to moving forward with our lives.

When I used to watch those "headline grabbing" stories on TV, I couldn't stop my brain from wondering "why".  I spent hours wondering how and why people do the things they do.....it didn't help me and focusing on those questions truly made me feel worse.  I could become obsessed with every detail as I tried to wrap my mind around someone else's actions.

Acceptance means allowing ourselves to move on without needing to fully understand "why".  We will never understand evil actions.  We will never be "OK" with how evil actions are pre-meditated and carried out without regard to honoring human lives.

Being "OK" with not understanding "why" will allow us to move toward acceptance, without approving actions that have been taken against humanity.  We can then move forward in our personal path to making our world better.

Have a great day!
