Our Thoughts

Written by Tamia

Deep thoughts are the thoughts that imaginably kill us. Deep thoughts are the actual thoughts that make us cause a fuss, just because it is all too MUCH! Sometimes we may ask ourselves “Why do I think so much” or “Why am I always inside my head even when I try not to be?”.

Truth is, we are not alone with our deep thoughts. Thinking deeply gives us the power to embrace our inner person, our spiritual being, and who we really are. We all know that these thoughts can cause both a negative and positive effect on our physical actions but they are a guide to the what if’s, a preparation for the good and bad, a solution to an unknown problem, and best of all, they help us to expect the unexpected; to protect our peace from disappointment and emotional pain. Sometimes we have to trust our intrusive thoughts but also learn how and when to control them. We can’t control when and what we overthink, that’s a fact

but we can surely be in charge of when we need to SNAP back into reality when we get too deep into overthinking.

Sometimes we hurt our own feelings by taking our overthinking too personally. We need to know that that is okay and stop running from it all. Instead, we should face it and rise. As humans, we shouldn’t fear anything and no one but God. Truth be told this is easier said than done because most of us are afraid of the fact that we all have an inner side of us that we hide. Being hidden for so long makes us afraid to reveal who we really are and the more we hide, the more fear pulls us back from being who we certainly and truly are. Our deep thoughts are the questions to all our fears and the answers are only within our authentic selves. It is up to us to face it all and take the risk to just do it.

There is beauty in brokenness. No matter what you’ve been through or what you have done, you are still standing on this earth for a reason; know that reason and be that reason! Keep pushing until you get it right. Don’t stop, don’t give up, and don’t shut down. Cry if you have to, scream as well, and crush that pain away! Get up proudly and know that you’ll make it. Believe that you can achieve it, and put your MIND TO IT. Remember, we are on this earth temporarily and we never know when our time is done. To make your life a better place and find a better point of view, sad to say but it all starts with YOU because nobody is going to see you the way you do and the way God does. Let your pain and thoughts give you the strength to live AGAIN.
