Logic vs Unreasoning as Reflected in Your Goals

One cannot achieve goals with logical reasoning alone, similar to one gazing at the configuration of stars, without inquisitive thoughts. 

I believe logic alone will never produce success as intended by the person who seeks such because it can delay true growth. Logic is nothing more than a principle of reasoning. So, pure logic alone reduces variables in life. For this reason, one must guard one’s goal from logic as the rationale for failure. If you feel like quitting before reaching your goal, just sit still and think of different events that will divulge a parallel experience. Often, an individual may feel that changes produce erratic experiences, but a change really creates a resolution while causing opportunities to materialize. Unreasonable thinking produces change unlike logical thinking. As logic becomes more prevalent in your thought processing, stop and shift gears toward creative thinking. Start viewing your situation differently rather than logically. For instance, do you view the glass as half full instead of half empty. Ask yourself,  how can I  change my situation to produce a positive outcome? Remember, logical thinking reduces variables; whereas, unreasonable thought provoking ideas create opportunities.

 So the next time when thoughts of quitting comes to your mind, think about the configuration of the stars to fuel your mind with endless possibilities. Don’t settle with logic without unreasoning, because unreasoning breaths hope and gives life to your situation. Just remember, the constellation of stars produces so many unanswerable questions; likewise, the means of accomplishing your goals will unfold with unreasonable thinking.

Wanderlust -- Word of the Week

Our word of the week is wanderlust. Wanderlust is a noun that stresses a strong longing for or impulse toward wandering. To profit as a student of learning, you must refrain from wanderlust when you are studying. Many times students lack focus which leads to wanderlust. For instance, some students become easily distracted when watching TV while becoming a prey to wanderlust. Stay centered on studying instead of turning into a casualty of wanderlust.
