You’ve heard it said “I’ve done this before!” They made an expression for this: It’s dejevu!”
But maybe the reality is you HAVE done it before! Or maybe the events have been so close to the
present one that it seems that you have done it before.
What a marvelous organ we have in our brains. We can relive all the wonderful moments in
our lives whenever we want to. We can experience
things that we have never actually experienced ourselves. Our minds can take us to places we’ve never
been to or we can create places that don’t actually exist.
Our minds have such tremendous creativity that it seems
at times that we are only limited in its creativity by the boundaries that we ourselves
put upon it. Your thinking process can
become so sensitive that we can include the small, sensations of touch and
taste within our thoughts.
Have you ever listened to a speaker describe the
preparation of a meal so enjoyably that you begin to taste the various foods within your
mouth? Your pallet begins to savior them and
then to anticipate your actually eating those foods. I’m sure you have! You begin to prepare yourself for an
enjoyable meal, even if it is only presently in your mind.
Your mind also makes you a more sympathetic person. Many advertisers are counting on this ability
of your mind. You’ve seen those ads
where the abandoned or mistreated animals are pictured in hopes that you will
want to donate your funds for their care.
This ability is also what assists us in showing empathy for other humans
and the varying circumstances that they face.
With this same brain we can learn complex calculations
and motor control abilities or the simplest of things like lifting our hand or foot. We have the
wonderful ability to look at situations and reason out a solution to very
complicated scenarios. And we can also
look at these various situations and ponder “what if”! We can change certain variables within the
scenario and propound a different solution than the one that had been previously reached.
Within
our “mind’s eye” we can enjoy the beauty of art, music, sunsets and
sunrises. With many other activities we
can ponder the past and the future. Our
mental capabilities seem to be limitless, although at the present we use a very
small portion of our minds capabilities.
We can make the decision to look upon our present
conditions and resolve to have the determination to make changes for the
better. We should make all the efforts
we can to do this if it is at all in our ability to do so.
QUOTE TO CONSIDER
THOUGHTFUL GEM
"Often the complexities of our situation
reside only in our mind."
