I’m standing on the terrace of my beautiful house overlooking the amazing reflection of the sun on the water. The cool summer morning breeze gracefully dampens my face and I’m totally at peace. I nod my head as my two sons and daughter are producing the most calming and soothing music with their cello, violin, and piano. The sun. The beach. My children. The enchanting music. Being in the present moment. Peace. Happiness. I’m hungry. Veggie burger? Oh, the terrace and my amazing children. Yes, one of them will definitely play the cello. That’s my favorite instrument. I haven’t played a good game of chess in a while. Actually, I played one last week and I lost to my brother. I never lose to my brother. That annoyed me. There is a 15 foot energy field around the human body that’s nested in a hierarchy of larger energy fields.
Oh, sorry, I was just “thoughting.” I like to thought all the time. It’s fun. It’s creative. I like to thought about my business A LOT. But what do I mean by “thoughting” ? Don’t I mean “thinking”?
No, I mean “thoughting.” It’s not a dictionary word, but who cares. I like it. Thoughting is all about surfing along with the myriad of thoughts that are constantly flowing in and out of your mind all day long, 24/7.
Thoughting about our futures, our companies, our relationships, our families, food, money, websites, friends, etc.. Thoughting is all about not being for or against anything that enters your mind, just going with the flow and letting things be as they are.
Thoughting is opening the floodgates to every concept, idea, philosophy, whatever it may be, to effortlessly enter your consciousness and allowing it to take whatever shape it wants, produce whatever feeling it may, and letting those thoughts be at peace within you.
When you thought, you are allowing your psyche act as a sponge to absorb everything. Ever hear the saying “everything is connected”? It’s true, we’re all connected. All minds. All thoughts. All feelings. Spirituality aside, even from a physics standpoint it’s evident that we’re all connected — if you break anything in this world down to it’s simplest, rawest form, what do you get? You get one thing: ENERGY! Everything in this world is the same thing: ENERGY. Thoughting allows us to better connect to energy; allowing us to be brilliant, amazing, creative, and think on new levels.
So what about “thinking”? Well thinking is the next step. When you “think,” you freeze a moment of “thought.” Thinking is like reaching out your hand and snatching a thought, holding onto it, and staying with it in that present moment. You are no longer in the past or the future, you are in the present. You are thinking.
Being able to understand the dynamics of thoughting and thinking about your business can prove to be an extremely powerful level of understanding.
If you can recognize when your mind is thoughting (absorbing everything and surfing with all thoughts) and then be able to intelligently lock in and grab a particular thought that you can use to make advancements / breakthroughs with your business (now you are thinking), then you are now dangerous! With that level of control of thinking, you can do anything!
Spend some time everyday freezing particular moments of thought. And think about those thoughts in the present moment. You’re an entrepreneur, so thoughting about your business for most of the day will be natural. But don’t discard those non-entrepreneurial thoughts that enter your mind, they count too! They’re important. Everything is related and connected, remember? It’s okay to wander off, just let it flow. And when you’re ready, start thinking and focusing in on selected ideas that you have.
