Feed Your Mind: Read!
by Scott Sumner
There is nothing more vital in any human being than the mind. There is
no question, doubt, or debate  about  this fact. Really the mind is a
marvel, a miracle that is so complicated it's virtually impossible to
figure out. Neurosurgeons for example, have a fantastically complex job
when they work on the human brain.
When you survey current computer advertisements,  you will notice how
the speed and storage space have dramatically increased over a short
period of time. My first computer in the early 80's operated at a speed
of less than 8 Megahertz, and had a hard drive of under 20 megabytes. At
present you can get 1000 megahertz speed and a 100 gigabyte storage
easily in a computer. Today's information is much more complex to
process, and vaster in scope. HOWEVER, computers don't even register
with the complexity and power of   the human mind .  I think the human
mind as a computer, would be a trillion megahertz or more, and our
storage capacity unlimited. How a living organ can accomplish such feats
is truly a miracle.
   So what does that mean for us as human beings? We need to use the
magnificent mind that God gave us. We need to maximize our potential,
and THINK our way through life with skill and abilities that only human
beings have. Unfortunately many people , in fact most people, use only a
tiny portion of their mind's ability. It is a  giant shame and is
something we need to change RIGHT NOW!. This will be the best thing you
could ever do for yourself, bar none.
   I believe your mind is like your body in that it needs good ideas,
just as our body needs good food. You have to continue to feed your mind
positive, fantastic ideas on a daily basis, that will change your entire
way of thinking and YOUR LIFE. There have been many fantastic
individuals who have lived before us in this magnificent world of ours
who have developed incredible ideas. These ideas have been available for
us to discover in books.
Awhile ago at  Christmas in 1995, my father went to the library with my
sister and came home with the book THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING by
Norman Vincent Peale. After attending primary school, high school, and 6
years of university and after reading countless books on all types of
business subjects, I actually stopped reading. However the Norman
Vincent Peale book was exactly the remedy  I needed to prompt me to
start reading once again, and I've been reading books like his ever
since. I find the ideas fabulous. They feed the mind  with some positive
food  with which to develop. Now I read the best books every day,
usually at night, and find it has created in me a very confident and
positive person. An important point to realize  is that, what you think
about is really what matters in your life. It is more important than
your circumstances, or what happens around you. It's what YOU think
about what's going on that matters. How you choose to react to  the
events that happen to you, and around you, is the only important thing.
This sets your attitude and therefore your life. It's really that
simple.
   This is an exceptionally important point to think about. You can't
always choose what happens to you, or how people treat you, but you can
choose how you react to it or them. You have complete control of your
mind at all times . Anyone, even the prisoner in jail can choose what to
think about at any given moment. He doesn't have to feel confined or
finished, but can be striving to make life  better. It all starts in the
mind. This is the beginning. It's like creating a brand new road map for
the life that remains starting now.
Next we will talk about creating a personal dream
