I am here to talk about a profound philosophical statement I have reached that could change our perspective on life, work, and even ambition. I would like to share with you my saying :
Thinking is the opposite of reality but reality is built through thinking"
All thoughts are often contrary to reality. However, the reality we live in cannot be shaped without thinking. From this standpoint, I see that this saying carries great power and deserves to be delved into, as it holds a secret to personal and professional success—the secret of building the life we aspire to When I say "thinking is the opposite of reality," I am not merely talking about a conflict or confrontation between what goes on in our minds and what happens in our daily lives. Instead, I am referring to the power we all possess to transform this disparity into development and progress. I often find myself thinking of something that seems far from logic or realistic expectations, but this very thinking is what drives me to change reality itself, making it closer to what I dreamed of
Thinking as a Tool to Overcome Limitations
I realize that our daily lives are full of constraints imposed by circumstances, whether material, social, or even psychological. These constraints are what we call reality, and this reality often stands in the way of our thoughts and ambitions. But what if our thinking was greater than those constraints? Isn’t thinking the tool that enables us to overcome them? When I face a difficult situation or an undesirable reality, the first thing I do is think in a new way. I ask myself: "How can I change this reality?" And that's where the transformation begins I believe that the thoughts we deal with daily, even if they seem unrealistic, are the seeds planted to shape a new reality. Reality, as I believe, does not form automatically from circumstances alone, but is a direct outcome of what we think and strive to achieve. If I continue to hold on to the idea that I am confined by realistic constraints, then I will remain a prisoner of this reality. But once I decide to think beyond these constraints, I start creating new opportunities
Creative Thinking: The Key to Building a Better Reality
When I look at my life and goals, I see that everything I have achieved, or seek to achieve, is a result of creative thinking. This type of thinking challenges the existing reality and searches for unconventional solutions. Some may describe this type of thinking as "imagination" or "daydreaming," but I believe it is the foundation of innovation and progress.
I recognize that creative thinking is not always easy. Sometimes, it seems as if the world is moving against what I think or dream of. However, this does not mean I should stop thinking or succumb to reality. On the contrary, I see in this challenge an opportunity for growth and development.
I am here to say that creativity begins the moment we decide to challenge reality with new ideas. When I face a problem, I think unconventionally and ask myself: "What if this could be solved in a way no one has thought of before?" And most of the time, this type of thinking leads me to discover unexpected solutions. Solutions that may initially seem unrealistic but eventually lead to tangible changes
Thinking and Action: How Do We Connect Ideas to Reality ?
Thinking alone is not enough. This is a fact that cannot be ignored. I believe that thinking is the beginning, but action is what connects the idea to reality. Thinking gives you the map, but action is what makes you walk the path drawn.
From my experience, I have learned that great ideas require practical steps to implement them. Ideas may initially seem unrealistic or impossible, but through continuous work and determination, these ideas begin to take shape in reality. When I start implementing an idea, I consider that reality may not respond quickly. I may face difficulties or challenges, but I realize that this is part of building a new reality. The bigger and more complex the idea, the greater the effort required to achieve it. However, I believe that any idea, no matter how big or unrealistic, can be realized if approached with patience and practical thinking
Why Should We Think Outside the Box ?
Since childhood, I have often heard the phrase "Think outside the box." At first, I didn’t fully understand what this phrase meant. But over time, I realized that the box we talk about here is the reality we live in—a reality that imposes restrictions and boundaries that make us believe that thinking outside of it is a waste of time
But I have learned that everything new or innovative comes from outside this box. When I think of the great figures who changed the course of history, I see that each of them decided to think beyond imposed boundaries. They had no guarantees that their ideas would succeed, but they were willing to confront reality with their own ideas, even if they seemed unrealistic. I believe that the ability to think outside the box is not a skill limited to certain people but is a skill that everyone can develop. It only requires the courage to acknowledge that reality is not final and is subject to change
Building a New Reality : A Never-Ending Journey
I see building reality through thinking as a never-ending journey. Every time I achieve an idea or goal, I find myself thinking about the next step. Reality is constantly changing, as are our thoughts and goals. I cannot say that I have reached the endpoint because continuous thinking is what motivates me to strive for more. In this journey, I may face challenges or obstacles that make me doubt my ideas or my ability to change reality. But I understand that every obstacle is a new opportunity to think differently
Thinking against reality is the power that gives us hope that what we dream of today can become a reality tomorrow. And with continuous work and determination, we can build a new reality—one that reflects our dreams and aspirations. I am not merely someone philosophizing about thinking and reality; I am someone who has lived this experience and is still living it. I believe that every idea, no matter how unrealistic it may seem at first, has the potential to change reality. All we need is the courage to think beyond boundaries and the hard work to turn those ideas into reality. Thinking against reality is the beginning, but building reality through thinking is what makes us unique individuals capable of achieving what others might see as impossible .
