Has smoking weed changed the way you think?
YesSmoking weed has changed not only the way I think about life, but also the way I view people that smoke.When you first start smoking one hit makes you incapable of walking downstairs for pizza rolls and grape soda. You feel paralyzed but in a way that you can move, you are just too lazy.If you smoke throughout the day for a week or two this goes away. You begin to live in a better mood. You have a clearer mind. You become productive. You notice aches and pains going away. I can go on, but I think you get it.I used to think people that smoked pot more than once a year were total fuck ups. Worthless scum of the earth.Now, mentally marijuana has changed my entire outlook on life. I no longer fear death. I no longer have restless nights trying to figure out all 4,000 things going on at one time.I have also gotten over some pretty bad habits. I used to be pretty damn racist, now I've realized that just because other people tell me I need to think one way doesn't mean I have to. I never bullied people for being black, but I enjoyed the jokes and the blaming all my problems on them. It made me feel better and didn't actually harm anyone, so I figured it was no big deal. I think racism in America is blown way out of proportion. At least where I live it isn't that bad, but I can't speak for the entire USA. I feel so much better every day now that I have overcome racism. I have met awesome people now that I'm open to meeting them. Habib Fanny is fucking awesome. 5 years ago I would have probably made a joke about his name and completely disregarded him because he is black. There are a few other quorans, but the internet doesn't speak much. I won't go into detail, but I do so much for the local black community.I recently moved out of my parents’ house and bought all my appliances. I ended up giving it all away plus money to black flood victims. I wanted to help communities that would otherwise be forgotten and left with nothing. I still do not have a washer and dryer. I simply can't afford it now. I also don't have a dishwasher anymore and my refrigerator feels about the size of a zip-loc bag.Yeah, pot has changed me. Hopefully for the better.
How can you change your way of thinking?
I used to be extremely depressed and that's exactly how I stopped being that way...I changed my thinking. I forced myself to thing happy thoughts about life and about myself. It was "fantasy" at the time, because I didn't really believe it...But I kept on with it and after a while of telling myself happy things, I started to think them naturally. My brain thinks completely different now. Any time I start to feel depressed for no reason or overly depressed about something, I just stop myself and make myself think positive. My life is so much better now. I rarely get sad, and when I do it's not a big thing. It took me a long time to get to this point. Just keep at it. It will take commitment. I'm happy most of the time. I used to be depressed all the time and thought about giving up a lot. I live a good life now. You can always control your thoughts and feelings. Once I realized that, my life changed.
Can we change the way we think?
Why can’t you? No one is forcing you how to think. You can think anyway you like. If you want to change the way you think, it’s not easy, but it’s not impossible either. It requires tenacity and dedication. You certainly can achieve your goal with these two.How many people have become successful in the later part of their lives. That’s because at some point in their lives, they have decided to change their way of thinking and have concentrated and focused their efforts and succeeded. None or very few are born with a silver spoon. Most of us have to work our way to achieve what we want.When you change the way you think, you change your ways and attitude in general in life. The change is first internal. The internal change translates into external change and with time, tenacity and dedication, it translates into success.Remember changing the way you think, doesn’t mean the superficial way you think. It means the depth of the thought that you change. One way to test that is your belief. Belief is the measure of the depth of the thought. When you have truly changed your way of thinking, your belief changes as well. When your belief changes, success follows.If you believe you can never pass with a GPA 4.0, you create an obstacle in your mental level. That translates into poor performance. If you believe that if you try you can definitely get a GPA of 4.0, it translates into your actions and finally into the result.A good test to see if you have really changed your thoughts is to check and see if your belief has changed.
Does weed change the way you think?
Its more like you view things differently because of the way you feel. Each person reacts differently when they're high. To me, it makes me more imaginitive and creative than usual. Thats simply because I think am a creative person to begin with. Try to stop, if you want to quit alltogether then more power to you! It may seem shocking at first, but its not so bad after a while. And also this change of perception comes with all drugs, thats what they do.
How can I change my way of thinking positively?
It simple - make it a habit to think positive.We tend to think negative because we think that others are better off, which may not always be true. Possibly they’re just looking at the brighter side, which makes them happier.In every situation, look at the good side of it. The worst of situations have a better side. Here are some examples -an illness could be worse, you might just be suffering from some cold or a curable diseaseyou might be jobless, but at least you’re not homeless; and you’ll soon find your calling or a suitable job with the qualifications you holdyou may not have too many friends, but the ones that you do have would stand by you through the tough timesI’ve had various similar situations, and I find that while it’s not easy to think positive all the time, it does help in becoming a happier person. This is the least we can do for ourselves.
Does reading changes our way of thinking?
It drastically changes the way you think. A vice about books is, it is you who has to distinguish between what is to be adsorbed and what is to be discarded. I have read over 100 books so far and each book teaches me to look at life differently. Once you read something, you start analyzing and then find solutions to various problems. I also read when I come across writer's block as it sparks a idea that seemed on another island.A great example of a book that had a major impact on my thinking is Kite runner. It helped me empathize with others problems. it changed all the relationship ideas I held within me. After I finished reading the book, I cried for 15 mins and that was the moment of realization, I won't be the same person ever again.Every book whether good or bad does teach you something. Reading will definitely make you a better person. It exposes you to people of various characters and circumstances that you don't think about generally. Each book brings with itself a new way of thinking.
How has an MBA changed the way you think?
Let me tell you a funny story about MBA - which is floating around on whatsapp.One day a dog was passing from a forest. Suddenly he sees a lion coming to him. He surely wouldn't be able to outrun him. He thought of how his MBA can help him in this. So he thought of doing something intuitive.(Image source: http://shutterstock.com )There was a bunch of bones nearby. He started licking one bone. And when lion came nearby, dog spoke in a way that lion can hear: That was a nice lion meat. Let me find another lion and kill him to enjoy similar treat.(Image source: Stock Photos And Royalty-Free Images By Dreamstime )Lion heard it and got frightened seeing what he saw. So he ran away.Now, a monkey saw this and decided to tell lion what exactly happened. He went to lion and told him how that dog fooled him.Lion, getting angry, decided to go back and give that dog a punishment. So that monkey and lion went back to that place.Dog saw them coming and realized that this time he would have to die. But he was an MBA, and MBAs do know all the excuses to keep themselves safe. So he again wanted to take an intuitive step.He started speaking, “I had sent that monkey to fool that lion and bring him back to me. Why is he taking so long to give me that lion!”Listening this, lion got frightened again. He killed that monkey and ran away.(Take the story as a humor only. I wanted to drive my learnings from this story- which are below)Thank you for reading. Now what did I learn from management:Before that, in that story, that dog was an MBA; that lion- his boss and that monkey - someone who hates the speed at which MBA was growing.What I learnt is:I learnt to make decisions based on what situation is.I stopped being afraid and running away from situations.I started handling the critical situations with much ease.I stopped letting those people - who without any reason try to interfere with my life - go away without any punishment.I started realizing that the real king in this corporate jungle is not a lion; but the one who can make that lion dance.I learnt to plan my work, decisions, life in a lot better way.I stopped giving up no matter what.I started understanding that it doesn't matter how much you work. What matters is how much others think- you work.I finally agreed that no matter at what level you fight, it is a rat race. And even if you win this race, you still will be a rat.Thanks for reading.-Arjuna@War
How does sex change the way you think?
I am not sure there is a solid answer for this but here is my shot in the dark for u- Guys and girls (in general of course there are exceptions...) view sex very differently.... BUT IN GENERAL: - once u have sex - it is expected to happen all the time - People start getting feelings (usually the girl) and the other person may just want sex OH AND VERY IMPORTANT- Once you have sex with someone your relationship will never be the same......that is for sure not necessarily a bad thing but it could be.
