To introspect means to be a genius

'Feelings' is a topic I tend to avoid,especially when it's mine and seldomly,when it's others. I sometimes come off as a nosy parker and according to my mother, an agony aunt.But the truth is, I'm not trying to be either of those things. Discussing about feelings and emotions comes as easily to me, as swimming comes to a fish and flying comes to birds. Lending a patient ear, a sympathetic smile and hopefully helpful advice, is instinctive in me.

This is a fact that sometimes leads to confrontations. No, not with others. But, with my own conscience. Yes. The most tiring thing in the world is to have a battle of thoughts and introspections with our conscience. But, unfortunately for us, its something we have to do, almost on a daily basis.

Hey, wait a second, did I just say 'unfortunately'? Wow!!! Back up there horsey. Well, here's the thing that I forgot to mention. Unlike many, I practically live for the daily verbattle between my conscience and me. No, that does NOT mean that I'm a bad person, but just that I love introspection and I love analysing things,people,situations in my head.

"Dreamers start constructing their dreams around self-introspection." Since dreamers are the ones who create the future,then the importance of introspection comes to the fore.This is an important fact that I realised recently. Ofcourse,you can imagine my joy at this wonderful 'revelation'.

Ofcourse, I'm not the first person to introspect and then start any work. All great writers, musicians, sculptors, scientists, academicians, leaders and so on, have analysed their situations and their ideas and their capabilities, before taking that oh-so-necessary plunge into uncharted waters.This we can realise through their work,for,a person, who didn't give sufficient thought to their endeavour,would not be able to achieve such great success.

So, this vital piece of information brings home the fact that - " All introspectors are geniuses, despite the fact that they look like they have gone loopy, while they are introspecting." This means, though it looks like our minds have completely switched off, they are infact running at the speed of light. And, the fuel for this piece of machinery is thought.

So there's some food for thought for you!!!!
