MOTIVATION: If You Can Think It, You Can Do It!

Hope is one important thing that keeps all of us going. It is one factor responsible for many human continuous existence on planet earth. We always have this believe that no matter what we are going through today, tomorrow will be better. This is the more reason we keep pushing.

As human beings, we need to believe in ourselves. Whether we are sure of our plans or not, the important thing is to believe and see our dreams through.

I am a positive thinker and i believe the power to succeed or fail lies within us. The difference between human beings is not in our 'colors' but rather thinking faculty. Some people are more gifted than the other and this gives  them an edge among others.

I came across the above quote 'if you can think it, you can do it' and i started wondering the implications of the statement. The quote is another version of John Burroughs' If you think you can do it, you can. 

I have argued in one of my posts before that that a philosopher looks beyond a general question or problem. A word can mean one thing to a layman but to a philosopher it means a lot.

What do people mean by the statement? Let's try and ask some questions"

If i can think of myself flying, does it mean i can fly?

If i can think of myself as a woman, does it mean i'm a woman?

If i can think of myself as a PhD holder, does it mean i am?

If i can think of myself as a father, does it mean i am a father now?

The above are possible interpretations of the statement from a philosophical standpoint. However, i believe the statement is not totally complex. It is a voice for the voiceless and a reassurance for those who are lost.

You need to be positive in all you do. Sometimes we think negatively but this only weigh us down. If you think about something positively and put your heart to it, then you can do it.

It is also true (at least, for the believers) that man proposes but God disposes. Despite this obvious fact (at least, to the believers), man must not stop thinking and dreaming. Your ability to conceptualize a reality and work towards it differentiate you from the lower animals.

In all you do, never give up that hope of becoming a successful individual. It might be that you hoped to be a graduate, a computer guru, a scientist, a lecturer, an architect, etc,. Whatever it is that you can think of positively, then you can do it and you can achieve it.

Thanks for reading my blog. Your boy @smyle the philosopher.
