Ascending into new dimensions of thinking : Why new level thinking is paramount? 

By Lona Matshingana 


The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them. Complex problems require deep thinking. Ordinary thinking isn't sufficient to solve complex problems because they have many layers to consider. They exist exactly like an interconnected system, one part affects the other. And you don't want to solve one part, only to create a new problem elsewhere in the system. 

You also don't want to solve complex problems one at a time, as they appear. That myopic thinking doesn't work well in complex systems. Deep thinking means looking at your problems holistically which means being able to see three steps in advance, what sort of problems are likely to occur in your solution and to react accordingly. This level of thinking requires practice. No one is born a deep thinker. High level thinkers are made through practice and consistency. 


Inside-out means to start first with self, your paradigm, your character and your motives. The lens through which you see everything should be your first priority in your self development journey or when learning to think at higher levels. Your paradigm will eventually affect your character and your character will influence your motives. 

Private victories precede public victories. This is a true saying and it always stands the test of all times. You can't give what you don't have. Most successful people will tell you this as well, you need to do well in private where no one is clapping or looking before you can do well in public and get the praise of many people. It's also a mystery of life because lots of people get it wrong (especially young people), and they find themselves trying to win in public before they even get enough time to practice in private. 

Learning new level thinking is no different. It requires lots of discipline in private, where no one is watching before you can excel in front of others. You need to learn patiently how to approach complex problems holistically in private before you can do it successfully and excellently in public or in front of your family and colleagues.

The Necessary Companion: Fear and the Entrepreneurial Journey By Lona Matshingana  2025/11/22  8:38 pm To embark on the journey of starting a small business is often characterized by ambition, innovation, and an unwavering belief in a unique vision. However, underneath the veneer of confident pitch decks and motivational mantras lies a fundamental, necessary companion: fear. This fear is not merely a weakness to be overcome, but an inherent, complex factor that simultaneously acts as the greatest barrier to entrepreneurship and, paradoxically, as a vital catalyst for success. The relationship between fear and the small business founder is one of constant negotiation, where learning to channel anxiety becomes the defining skill of a thriving professional life. The most immediate and tangible form of fear for the prospective business owner is financial vulnerability. Launching a new venture demands significant investment, whether that involves personal savings, loans...

The Worth of the Examined Life: An Analysis of Socrates’ Moral Imperative By Lona Matshingana  2025/11/26 1:58 am In 399 BCE, facing the Athenian court, the philosopher Socrates issued a moral imperative that has resonated through millennia: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” This statement, preserved in Plato’s Apology, is not a mere intellectual boast but the summation of Socrates’ mission. It posits that human existence only gains its true value through continuous, rigorous self-reflection and dialogue. To live an "examined life" is to engage in the Socratic Method with oneself—to relentlessly question one’s own deeply held assumptions, values, and definitions of virtue. The unexamined life, conversely, is characterized by passive adherence to custom and opinion, leading not to simple comfort, but to moral and intellectual ignorance that, for Socrates, nullifies the unique potential of human consciousness. The core of Socrates’ argument is the identific...
