Confusion.... a very worthy gift.

I do feel that "confusion" is one of the best emotions GOD has given us. Confused??? read on....
The reason why some people would actually read through this post is the same reason why I think confusion is a gift.

How many times in life were you confused and still successfully managed to do nothing about it???
Walt Disney once said “We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”

Why would a man be curious to know anything if he was perfectly clear about it? Curiosity is the flower that stems from the bud of Confusion! (Whoa.... that would make a good quotation... I am still confused how I managed to write that one!)
Confusion drives us.... we have an inbuilt mental mechanism which forces us to strive towards clearing confusion.
If Newton wasn't confused why the apple fell down instead of going up, or moving sideways ( I' the thought of an apple "falling sideways" lol ), he would've never discovered gravity.

A lot of people blame confusion for their mistakes. I hear from a lot of my friends who say "I was confused, and answered it wrong in the last moment". I think that they were not prepared enough for the test. They wouldn't be confused about a question they knew well.
(I bet you are never confused what your name is? lol)
The point I am trying to make here is that we should make use of confusion... ( i am really confused what i wanted to say!!!) We should let our instincts take over when we are confused and make efforts to clear it up. For when people work with a purpose, they unexpectedly achieve greatness.
When I started writing this post, I was confused as to why I am doing this instead of studying for my exam next month... I thought about it and came out with the answer "this was more interesting to me than what I was reading tonight(or was supposed to be reading :-P). "
And a lot of people are "confused" about choices.... One of my friends recently told me he was confused whether he should opt for internal medicine or general surgery for his post graduation. I said "Go with either one... If you like it in future, you will be happy that your confusion is cleared... If you don't like what you have chosen, you can always blame it on confusion."
I am really confused about a lot of things right now... like whether I should start studying and get a PG, or continue doing jobs, which have taught me a lot, and enjoy life right now.
I am also confused about my feelings for a girl... "Is it love, or just another infatuation I fail to recognise because of having a poor attention span ( I am ADHD, and I am loving it!!)
I will never finish this post if I start with that list. So I think i now understand why
Michael J. Gelb said: "Confusion is the welcome mat at the door of creativity."

If you are even a little bit Confused about what I tried to convey in this post.... I will consider that I have made my point.
