An open mind is a home for invention, creation, experience

- Shivani Aggarwal

‘Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution.’ – David J Schwartz

Our lives are not determined by outward circumstan­ces but by thoughts that occupy our mind. Human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitude towards life. As you think, so shall you be. Don’t clutter your mind.

Our mind is so powerful that it can achieve whatever it desires, it controls our emotions, feeling and actions. For it to function properly, it is mandatory to keep the mind open. An open mind is a home for invention, creation, experience and thoughts.

Our mind is like an ocean and its waves are our thoughts. These thoughts are endless and can be good or bad. We can’t stop these thoughts but we can control our mind. If we are able to control our mind then we can achieve anything in this world.

The human mind is one with its dual nature of the conscious and subconscio­us. The conscious mind learns through observatio­n, experience, and education and its greatest function is reasoning. On the other hand, our subconscio­us mind is controlled by suggestion­s, it accepts our beliefs. If you want to wake up early in the morning then the subconscio­us mind will wake you up at that time.

Make the enjoyment of silence an integral part of life. There are effective ways to charge the mind for concentrat­ion, creativity and willpower. The way to prepare the mind for its peak performanc­e is through regular mind exercises.
