Radical Thinking

If you can control a man's thinking, you don't have to worry about his actions. If you can determine what a man thinks, you do not have to worry about what he will do. The late great Carter G. Woodson spoke these words to us many many years ago but it still stands today. This quote came to mind because of a conversation I had recently with a group of friends. It dawned on me in the midst of that conversation that the one thing that was really stolen from us was our ability to freely think and think critically. And if you choose to think radical you are going against the norm! So it made me think of people that thought freely and radically and what our world would not be or have if they didn't step out against the norm. Radical thinking formed the United States of America, radical thinking abolished slavery, radical thinking ended segregation and because of radical thinking America elected it's first African American President. Because of that conversation with my friends it really made me think about how differently people think and what they believe. It also made me think about a recent sermon Bishop TD Jakes gave on the Power of Thought! He said everything begins with a thought even God creating us begin with a thought. So it would be safe to say that thoughts can change the world! So if you are ever in a situation where you feel that your thought process is being attacked or that your thoughts are viewed as radical and going against the norm remember that the most powerful tool you have is your mind and your thoughts and it can change the world! Guard it with your life! This is my perspective! Sound Off! Peace and Love!
