The Mind
The mind is amazing, with all its complexities utterly mindblowing, how can one small part control such a big portion of what we are, what path we follow in the course of life? What we do become eventually?
L.T. Holdcroft famously said, “Life is a grindstone but whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us”. I believe that a big part of that lies in the mind. We choose to accept circumstances or fight what has been handed to us or better yet make whatever comes our way work out for us. So how come some people succeed easily while others have to work ten times as hard as the rest? Is it the support system around us, the environment or some just have a superior mastery of their minds?
The marines say that of all the weapons they master, the mind is the most powerful one and that is why I believe that it is possible to overcome every obstacle because with the right tools like self discipline, toughness and confidence then we are natural winners in every way.
I believe that in this case practice makes perfect, being positive every day and looking out for the best in each situation without being too naïve of course!
I love their motto; ‘the few, the proud, the marines’ and I’d like to take a moment to remember our brother out there (Kenneth ‘Sweetie’ Jayala) who’s out there fighting for this country. We love you very much and we miss you dearly.
The mind helps us come face to face with our weaknesses when we simply refuse to fail, of course there are many barriers in life and we will get knocked down, we just must keep getting up every single time. When things go wrong then we should take that as the opportunity to discover exactly what we are made of and how strong we are. Ambrose redmoon said that “courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. I also love how Mark Twain phrased it, “Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear – not the absence of fear. Knowing that yes, we are afraid but we must overcome”. I believe that fear is that demon that we must over power, someone cleverly said that FEAR was False Evidence Appearing Real!
We must master our mind in order to suceed, as it was famously said “it isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out, it’s the grain of sand in your shoe”, basically if we let other forces stand in our way we are responsible for holding ourselves back and not taking advantage of every opportunity offered to us.
Do all emotions originate from the mind to the heart to finally manifest themselves into actions? Martin Luther King, JR said that “Love is the only force powerful enough to change an enemy into a friend”, what powerful words! As it has been pointed out to me, I love to write about love but nothing describes it better than these words I read, “Love means to love that which is unlovable or it is no virtue at all, forgiving means to pardon that which is unpardonable or it is no virtue at all”. How true and how noble, so here we go – do we truly love those we claim to love? That’s why there’s so much joy ..” in feeling that God knows all and not withstanding loves us still” for those that believe.
If we do our best I doubt that we’ll fail, we must remember that there is always hope and better things awaiting us, after all “what a caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly”.
Have a fabulous day :-) and look out for “Love chose me”
