Your hidden powers.

MINDS, BRAINS, AND EMOTIONS (PART 2).

Beyond being instruments of decision making, the mind, and the brain are very powerful gifts to us as humans. They possess unimaginable powers to make a man whatever he wants to become. At birth, the mind and the brain are fertile, flexible, and empty, and as we grow, we begin to fill them up with different experiences, ideas, culture, thoughts, and so on, and these begins to form the person that we become.

According to science the human brain possesses about a hundred billion neurons with roughly one quadrillion (that is, one million billion) connections known as synapses linking these cells together. These enable it to process about sixty bits of information per second, and store up to 2.5 million gigabytes of information. These are clear indications of our underutilization of our brains going by what some of us have created so far. So, if we are more conscious, and more determined to engage our brains more productively we will achieve more with it.

The seat of imagination, perception, thought, and will is the mind. We cannot fully exhaust what the mind is capable of doing, but if we engage it as much as possible, we would enjoy so much benefits from it. Whatever is conceived in the mind can be created and achieved. Without the creative capabilities of the imaginations of the mind, everything that exist today would not have been.

If we desire better lives, we must imagine better things, and think better thoughts, but our thoughts and imagination will never be positive unless we have fed our minds, and brains, with positive informations, ideas, and beliefs. Marilyn Monroe once said, “The sky is not the limit. Your mind is.” You can go as far as your mind can take you, but your mind will only take you as far as you have nurtured it.
