Do you take time for yourself to think.

In this busy world of today we do not get time for things which are of less importance. So, I think most of the people do not give time for themselves to think. I am talking in context of our own life. As a first job I joined a Life Insurance Company which was paying me a good salary. But work load was very high. Before a few days I took leave from my office for no reason. Or one can say, I had taken off for taking rest. I don't know how it came in my mind, I was thinking about what I am doing with my life. I had no time for family nor for any of my dearest friends even. I thought it is the beginning of my career and so had to work in a way that I get no spare time. Then I thought of those people who are senior to me and I realized their lives are much more disastrous than that of mine. Then I thought of my dad. About how he managed with things between office and home. I got a solution. I made a trade off between my family and money. I chose my family. I had quit my job. And I am happy to say to have a job paying me lesser than earlier one, but now I get time to give for my family friends, etc.
All this happened because, I gave time for myself. Think for yourself, Analyze, what actually do you want.

Yes, i do take time to think for myself and what suits me best. However, i can't put it into reality as my situation does not allow me to do so. It's a consequence i must take on upon my mistakes in the past. I can't complain, only to ensure i see it through. Give me another 2 years or so, i will be able to crave out my own path, choosing what suits me best then.

For me, I think a lot when I am alone in my room and yes, we have to think a decision that would not make us suffered in the end. It depends on each people of what makes them happy and satisfied and as for me, he he he (^_^) I want to be rich because I am still single. I mean, not very rich. I want to have money so that I could marry a man someday because It is hard to get married in the church if I don't have any money, but still even for example, I have already married, I will see to it that I have a quality time for my family...

I think that it's important to do some serious thinking as regards where we are at in our own lives! I have a lot of time on my hands and so I tend to analyse my life a lot! There are quite a few things that I'm unhappy with in my life and I tend to wallow in very deep thought! I'm also beginning to realise though that it's not a good idea to think too much!
There are certain things that I want out of life but I guess that life is throwing me a lot of lemons right now! Still, I try to remain positive regardless of what is going on in my life. It sounds like you were very busy in your line of work and perhaps there was a little stress there as well. I practise daily meditation and I guess this is where I do a lot of my thinking. Andrew

Hi,
For me, it will depend on how much time I have to think of the
solution, If I only have limited time to think about it and another
party really need my answer,then of course, I have to make a quick
answer for it.
It also concern about how importance is the thing that I need to
amke the decision for. If the matter is pretty important,of course,
I would have to really think of the FINAL DECISION and make sure
I am not making a rush decision which may lead to disaster in future.
Sometimes, we might need other people 's opinion in making the
final decision,we just need someone to give some idea and we will
consolidate those ideas and get the best decision.

I think of ways now not only to be with my family but also to spend quality time every weekends. I love saturdays and sundays because it is the best time for our family to get together. No work all play! Having fun and doing the simplest things in life is better. As for myself, i think positive ways to at least reflect on things which is best for me now. God Bless your family.

yes it is required to think in evry situation about yourself. Unless you can not reach aa a good decision. May be the world is busy and we peoples are getting busy in this way but we can not make wrong decisions to take place which can lead to failure. So we need to think on every topics that are related to us.

Wonderful advise! 
My hubby and I have the same theory and try to live by it. We have 5 kids here and while it does take a lot of $ to raise them we take time out every week for family game night, and every day for time with them and "Me" time.
He tinkers on his boat a little or lifts his weights and those are times when he is not to be bothered. I workout or get creative everyday and no one is to bother me. These activities help us clear our head and then we see what is really important to us.
Really great post.

Yes I always take time for myself to thinks. Because I think if give time to me for think then it would be good for me. And I can give a good suggestion on any topics. So I always take my full time for thinking on any topics. Because it is a good habits to take time for giving suggestion or decision on any topics. What about you.
