Observations about the ideas and thoughts visiting us.
(Some Thoughts from the Time of My Forced Break.)

When a thought comes to us we have a choice: to accept it for further contemplation or to reject.
One should know, however, that all the thoughts are sent to us with a specific purpose, we are in charge for taking them as the ones worth our attention or the ones to neglect.
Consider also that the thought left without notice may never come again and, therefore lost forever.
Hundreds of times we’ve heard about lost wonderful opportunities in different areas of our lives that could have changed our lives if only we were clever enough to take them seriously.
Does it sound familiar?
The same with the thoughts: they come according to the caprice of the Sender who doesn’t care weather we are tuned to receive these thoughts or not.
Should we then be surprised that all philosophers, art folks, writers and the like, daily and nightly, wherever they are and whatever they do have something to write on?
Recommendations:
-Keep you ‘antenna’ ready for any thoughts you may receive. Carefully listen to the signal from the ‘transmitter’.
-Always, even at night, have something to write on and to write with. You never know when the thoughts may come.
-While making notes, try to fix the thought as fully as possible: your frame of mind at the moment the thought had come, the place, the time, other details.
-Never divide the thoughts, when they come, onto important or time-wasting. Trust and respect the Sender.
-During the day when you are involved in other things, try to concentrate on what you do, block the access to any thoughts unrelated directly to what you are busy with at the moment.
-If the thought visits you when you are busy with something else, come back to it later when you can spend more/enough time for the thoughts.
