WHEN APPLE FALLS

Yes, apples do fall everyday! well, maybe not just apples. Mangoes fall too and you've seen it fall several times, so what do you think?

 Ah! eat it up right?

 Well, someone saw an apple fall and made a big deal of it. he got people talking about that apple for decades and we still talk about it today. in fact, you can't claim to know the world you live in without talking about that apple.

Sir Isaac Newton would pass for the definition critical thinking personified. It was recorded that Newton was taking a peaceful walk in his garden when he suddenly spot an apple falling from a tree. He sat thinking why the apple did not fall sideways or went back up, but fall down to the ground. From that unfolding, he embarked on a research and came up with the law of gravity. Yes, whatever goes up must come down. 

 But you know what? Apples fall everyday. Yes, the little things that happen to and around us daily are like the falling apple in Newton's garden. If only we could be presently connected, we would uncover hidden mysteries buried in our daily existence. 

 So what are the apples that fall daily? 

1. Conversations: Yes, conversations are like the falling apple. There's always something to pick out of every conversation if only you would maintain an open mind. The common enemy of having an impact filled conversation is a made up mind, a mind that won't consider seeing things from other people's perspective, but think it already knows the answer. 

2. Happenings: The little things that happen to and around us daily, may hold great mysteries that can change the course of history(watch out) 

3. Adversity: Adversity is a great motivator for change, the tough times you go through, can be the best thing that ever happened to you. As Sigmund Freud rightly said, "one day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.”

Bottom line: things happen everyday that presents us the opportunity to make our existence better or discover new things or new ways of doing things. We only need to be mindfully connected when those moments knock or rather, when apples fall.
