The wonders of the mind
It's incredible how the mind functions. Whatever we have achieved or can achieve is based on our state of mind.
I had a chat with one of my friends yesterday, and boy, is he good, like good, you know, like damn good.
The chat came at the right time (sometimes I really wonder about the concidence). Just in the morning yesterday, I thought that I was obsessed with money. I was worried about how long I can stay in this job before I burn out, where can I go after that and whether I should go back to school to get a degree. My mind was in a state of confusion and the future seems bleak in the long run.
No, he said. I was not obsessed, I was on the right track the the drive for me was very healthy. The drive for me was drive which many would dearly want to have. Another thing he managed to drive into my head was that although my academic qualifications are not the best around, there are other charateristics and and knowledge that a person has that cannot be graded. He convinced me that I have a skill, a skill which can help me survive anywhere I go. He was so convincing, that my directions and goals were suddenly clear again, I began replanning and I knew which way I wanted to go.
No wonder his time is worth $500/ hr, luckily I need not pay :p. My point is, whatever we can achieve is due to our mental state. In the morning, my mental state was so bad that I couldn't get anything done the whole day, by night, it was clear and I am back at 100% again today. By telling yourself that you can't do it, you will never be able to do it, but if you tell yourself that you can do it, at least the chance of succeeding is there.
Recently some of the entries I've been reading seems, lost, unhappy, confused. Some are my closer friends, some, acquintences, whatever it is, I hope that you can find your directions or get out of your gloom soon. Remember, it's always your mental state that matters. If you're going to wake up in the morning and say "Sian AH!", then chances are that you've already decided how the rest of your day will be like.
For those who are working, or in their own business, everyone wants to succeed. And the keyword is 'wants'. You don't succeed if you 'want' to succeed. You succeed when the 'want' becomes a 'must' for you.
A strong mind can overcome a weak body.
