I just recently found a blogsite of a mother who's proudly blogging the wit of her adorable cute little girl named Caroline. I admire this kid a lot because at the very young age she already know who she is and how to handle herself.. especially her overflowing thoughts.. here's what she said:
I like to talk. A lot. I think I'm really good at talking because I am a very curious kid and I think a lot. I know a lot of words, too. So there is a lot for me to say... just because I have a lot of words and ideas in my head. I like them to come out of my brain so there is more room for more new thoughts. Like thoughts and words about mammals. Mammals are warm blooded. See? Now there is more room, just because I talked. Are you even listening to me?" -Caroline, 4 years old
She maybe innocent but what she said is definitely true. You have to empty your cup to receive new learnings. You have to learn how to unload your thoughts, else your thoughts itself will drive you literally crazy. When you have too much in your head it will give you headaches and at the same time it will give you a hard time to sleep during bedtime.
I didn't graduate with honors.. I even failed one of my subjects in College, so definitely I could not say I am a genius but definitely I'm not also a dumb. I'm just an average girl who has lots of thoughts inside my head, unlike Caroline I don't talk too much because most of the time when I'm talking.. another ideas will come-in after my original idea until I don't know more what to say and all my ideas will just become useless. One of my mentors said before, I need to compose my thoughts first before speaking or think first before you speak... and usually it's taking me time before I can compose my thoughts that's why I need to express them in some other ways aside from talking.
Just like our bodies, it is also important to exercise our brain to protect us from potential problems such as Alzheimer's but too much thinking can also kill us. Inside our head there are millions of information stored, when we think too much about them our brains will heat-up, if the heat temperature of our brain will surpass 45° C without cooling it, might cause permanent brain damage if not death. If you don't want to die early better to keep your head cool always -take a deep breath. So now I understand why it is very cold in the office -because the cold is intended to the people who are using too much of their brains when they are working.
I appreciate that some of my friends are counting on me as their trusted friend when they want to share something especially the sensitive issues of their lives. I am not complaining, actually it's an honor for me to be a trusted one but either I want it or not, even if their problems are not my problems when they are unloading their thoughts to me I'm also absorbing their ideas.
You can listen to what the whole world is saying but at the end of the day it's still you who knows what's best for you. We cannot choose what's coming into our head but we can control them. Our actions, words, insights are the products of our thoughts, better if you'll select those ideas you think that are helpful to you and let go of the bad ones. Our mind is powerful so be responsible of your own thoughts. As the saying goes, "What the mind conceives the body can achieve".

I know I'm thinking a lot but I don't know if all of them are useful or not... sometimes they are complicated that even me is having a hard time to understand. They are like jigsaw puzzles inside my head that you still need to figure it out what exactly they are and not everyday I'm able to write my ideas but when I'm already able to write them even just on my journal... I could really feel the relief from inside. Writing for me is such a big effort but I'm doing this to express myself.
Even if I am not that talkative like Caroline but everytime I'm with my friends I always feel like I am a carefree innocent child. I love cracking jokes with my friends because they are buying them.I just simply <3 them!
Most of us love talking because we want to be noticed, admired, popular, heard and etc., but if all of us are talking who else will listen?
I realized that it's not because the person in-front of you is not talking, he or she don't have ideas. Maybe they are just shy or uncomfortable to share their thoughts with you but it doesn't mean they don't have something in their head, or try to check yourself... maybe you're just talking too much. A person like this just need a little bit of encouragement to speak their mind. Care to listen also because once they'll find the comfort with you. you'll be surprised that they're also talkative, funny, imaginative, creative, deep-thinker and so on. The people who talk less, think a lot!
-Practice of verbal silence not only helps you to know yourself, but also helps you become a better listener and know more about other people.
-The moment we stop speaking, the mind start thinking and you can embark on a journey of self-introspection.
