I feel as though there are multiple distractions in my life.
There is nothing wrong with having multiple interests. It broadens
your awareness to the world around you. I know I have learned a lot by
dabbing my feet into different topics of information however it feels as
though some things don't get done and maybe it is better to follow
something to completion. It is easy to start things up. The hard part is
following it to completion. I love the feeling of satisfaction I get
when I get something completely done. I also love the excitement of
something new and undiscovered as well so there in lays my problem. I
can read around twenty books at a time no joke and even not get the
information mix-matched but at the same time there seems to be a train
of thought in fluency when reading one book to completion over reading
several over a longer period of time.
This also goes with my research. You can research on several
different topics at a time and that is what it looks like for me when I
have around 5 or more tabs up researching different things and it causes
me to bounce all over the place or as my girlfriend would say "go down
different noodles" which I believe she caught that terminology from
flipping through a book called "Men have waffle brains and girls are
made from Spaghetti" or something like that, I could be completely wrong and let's just say she is one gorgeous genius. It paints a wonderful
picture though because if you look at spaghetti noodles they are all
mired and meshed together kind of like our brains when thinking on
different topics. I don't buy the hype though on books like that or "Men
are from Mars and Women are from Venus" although there is truth in
those books it doesn't necessarily mean it is completely true. For
example not every single guy is exactly alike nor is every girl exactly
alike in fact no one is exactly the same as another person, we are all
unique and several ways which is wonderful and amazing at the same time,
we should find that interesting. I know I do. Anyway here I go rambling
again. Back to the main point, as I was saying I sometimes have had 5
tabs up but other times it went up to as much as 30 or more. Now I am
not going to say you shouldn't do that because sometimes when you're on
something or researching something it sparks something else which leads
to other websites and google searches hence the extra tabs. Sponinuity
isn't a bad thing and it could create a lot of creative juice that will
start flowing.
But sometimes it is good to stick with one subject and master it
until you grasp it. It sticks in your memory more so than bouncing
around. Also take not of the things you learn. Maybe save them on a
flash drive or something like that so you can visit it later and master
each subject of interest. This world is filled with a wealth of
information.
Sometimes on one subject it could get really interesting and lead
down a giant rabbit hole spiraling down and down until your world turns
upside down and you can't look at things the same anymore. This has
happened to me. I am what you call a non-conformist. I challenge the
norms and what has been taught to me my whole life from everyone
especially school and the media. I don't buy the "official" story like
some people do. I actually take a step back and think for myself. I look
outside the box. I look for the alternative. I look past the hype past
the words into the what caused what and the root of everything I
encounter. I think in cause in effect. I think in abstract. I think what
if. I think beyond what we are told to think. I look at life from all
angles. I challenge the norms as my friend Jeremy would put it. Life is a
giant complexity of pieces of information here and there like a
universe of puzzle pieces that need to be put together piece by piece.
The only way to make sense of it all is to go the One who can make sense
of it all. The One who knows everything. This One I am referring to is
God. If inventors such as Nikola Tesla can study the Bible and ask God
for wisdom, knowledge, understanding of the world around them and invent
things that most people would deem impossible could it be that there is
nothing new under the son and that we too can seek God's guidance for
vision, understanding t make sense of it all. Why fully rely on people? I
think to myself that these people who made a difference in this world,
the people who during their lifetimes were looked at as raving lunatics
were the very people who proved others wrong and did the impossible. The
pioneers of society. I refuse to believe that I am a mere person that
is a blur in the mass of society lumped together following the crowd to
God knows where. I am independent as a thinker that is away from outside
sources expect God. I am open to what people say and think alive and
dead but I don't take anything in as full truth. I weigh it in against
reason and logic and pray seeking God's wisdom and knowledge.
He is the Creator who created me. He is intelligent and I am created
in His image. He knows all things and therefore can show me all things.
Solomon asked for wisdom and God gave him wisdom. In the book of James
it says we can pray for wisdom but with belief.
God dwells within me. If other people did significant things in their
lifetimes so can I through God. If Paul did great things for God's
Kingdom through Christ who gave him strength than so can I.
