I have made statement numerous times that; "You are most important living person." Take some time and think about yourself. Look at yourself in mirror and see how long you can stare without walking away. If less than five minutes, then you need an attitude adjustment.One In A Million!
Think about it, in all of history there has never been another person exactly like you. That's scary. No, I'm just kidding. You are very unique, you are very personal, and you are very emotional. What makes you so unique? It's sleeping giant that inhabits you.
Actually, you have two giants inside you and they are; your consciousness and sub-consciousness. The conscious giant only benefits you when you are awake. The sub-conscious or great sleeping giant is our 24/7 buddy.
What this means is; we are product of our environment, our physical body, heredity, and our particular place in time and space. We have power within us to harmonize with our entire environment and to direct our thoughts, and control our emotions which will ordain our destiny.
You Are A Mind With A Body!
Sounds like something from a Boris Korloff movie. But, that's exactly what we are. And, it is greatest design in history. Our mind is made up of these two giant powers that are designed to work in harmony with all elements of our environment.
The problem is; when these two powers inside of us are not working harmoniously together, we experience frustration and anxiety. The conscious mind is always trying to be bully and have his way. The sub-conscious is a quiet gentleman and always trying through very soft urgings, to get us to listen to him.
Well, what do we do? The best answer is to pay attention to both, and not do anything wrong. Yeah, right! Seriously, your body can't do anything without your conscious mind having first set stage, so, most important thing is to listen to both and then take action.
As movement takes place, circumstances and results, or lack of, will tend to direct our decisions from there. As more information is gathered we will be more certain of whether we have made right move. If not, make adjustments in our actions.
The Burning Question!
The problem is; we know how to listen to our conscious mind, but, most of time, we don't know how to listen to our sub-conscious mind. And, it's sub-conscious, where giant sleeping attitude is formed that drives action. And, without right attitude behind action, you'll be a few fries short of a happy meal.
The sub-conscious is emotional powerhouse behind whatever we do. Remember, emotions are just "feelings"; way you "feel" about something. The sub-conscious can make our actions feel like we're riding on a cloud, or gritting our teeth through whole ordeal.
We have all done things that we did joyfully, and we have all done things that just chapped our rear.
Get To The Bottom Of It!
Well, what was reason we got so chapped on one and did other so happily? Was it "act" itself? Nope, action itself had nothing to do with it. For every action you hate, I'll bet we can find someone that loves it.
What happened was, and this is a simplified example; conscious mind makes decision we must do something. Then sub-conscious tells us how to feel when we do it. Now, here is where war begins.
