Questioning to become Crazy?

“He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever” - Chinese Proverbs

The inquisitive individual is said to march to the beat of a different drum. The person that seeks truth will always march to the beat of their own drum. The opportunity to ask questions and to get answers is always in front of us. The thing that keeps an individual from questioning is fear. Fear of the answer, fear of embarrassment, fear of changing their implanted belief's. Which ever it is, he who fails to questions fails to live his own life.

The World has become ever more accepting of a wide variety of ideas and situations. The people have become ever more accepting of following then leading. We must become leaders is this swollen generation. The greatest leaders to ever walk this Earth from Gandhi to Christ to Buddha have always questioned the social perception, acted in trusting their conscience (which is directly connected to prosperity of the Almighty) to inviting others to follow their example. The true leaders sought truth through silence and meditation and proving of the principles.

If something seems amiss, it probably is. The ability to listen to our God given gift of intuition has been shocked, stimulated, and shut off because of our social perception. We have become a fear driven people and have forgotten the truth and prosperity of a love driven people. We as a people often talk with our mouths and act differently than we state to be. Think of that person that sometimes you are puzzled just by being in their presence... they say one thing and their actions say something completely different. Not that this is a bad person... it is a lost individual. When has confusion ever been a principle to follow? When has pointing fingers ever been a law of love and service? Sides are created and fingers are pointed and passing the buck vs. taking responsibility and authenticity which has become almost extinct in our existence.

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.” - Albert Einstein

Our people today have become the words of Oscar Wilde "Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."

Ask yourself... Is my life a mimicry? Am I following my intuition and my God given talents? Am I listening to my discernment? Or am I following blindly? Am I passing the buck to others because it is easier? Am I confused and know not which way to go?

The B Side To The Truth is take charge and control of your life by questioning the things that seem amiss to you. Ask yourself mind stimulating questions that allow you to exercise your mind and strengthen it. Many signs of an idle mind are shown through our actions. Are our actions productive or destructive? Things such as wasting hours feeding your mind with other peoples beliefs, wasting to many hours with idle activities such as television, arguing agendas, discrediting other individuals, seeking to fit in. The reality is the more you seek truth and self-leadership, the more you influence those around you and they will seek your acceptance and validation. You are already valid... just ask yourself where to find the next puzzle piece.

We must act now with our questioning... tomorrow will only condition your fallacies of taking the easier road and taking the path most traveled and beaten. Take the path of truth. You are the only one that has the power to discern that for yourself.
