The human mind is complex, inundated by an average of 60,000 thoughts each day, life is confusing.
Add to that mix a created identity (Ego). That “Ego” is like a peacock always wanting to show off that plumage.
Being special, wanting approval impacts the mind.
Something so complex is influenced in a simple way.
Abstract ideas may soar inside our heads, emotionally pleasing, but dedicated action never materializes.
I have found the mind changes when simple, concrete, immediate goals are combined with daily, repetitive practice.
Habits are formed through focused repetive actions.
My meditation practice started with a simple following the breath.
Over and over, until thought cleared, I entered a clarity beyond my “Egos” grasp.
I learned how we focus the mind determines all of life.
How could a poor man ever be happy without the minds help?
How many swings do you think a big league hitter has taken to be so skilled.
A great guitarist has spent a lifetime, repeating chords, over and over.
Elite practice leaves the mind and enters our bodies.
A great concert pianist is not thinking while performing.
A big league hitter has 357 milliseconds to react to a pitched baseball. Cognition takes up to five seconds.
If you are thinking you lose.
