The mind is complex and most times too difficult to decipher. The mind is where a lot of deliberation, negotiation, battling, concession and consultation take place. The current mindset one has plays a major role in determining the quality of output (decision made).
It is said that the brain is where the mind is located and the brain is said to have over 2 billion networks of neurons which is more complex than any super computer. The processing speed is massive. The raw materials with which we feed our mind through our major receptors (skin, ears and eyes) and the mental condition or better still the minds condition determines the quality of the output produced from the garbage of which it was sorted through. Thus the decisions made, which metamorphoses into action is a picture of what (type of thought) is on the mind.
When confronted with situations, my mind presents me with possible logical solutions after which comes the critical stage (the battle) which is, making a choice between the abundant logical solutions available ensues. Sometimes I get lost in this process and would need a tie breaker of which might force me to ask for help from a friend or someone more experienced. Other times I just go with the flow and damn the consequences that may follow while other times, I brave it and take the tough choices. Making up one’s mind on some matters I must say isn’t easy heheheh.
So while dealing with the matters of the mind I try as much as I can to be in a good state of mind. To achieve this state I sometimes withdraw from the crowd, take a stroll to clear my head, listen to soothing music, pray, do some breathing exercises, etc.
Therefore in dealing with the matters of the mind, I can say I conquer rather than dance to the sweet cunning melodies of downfall.
This question brings up memories of when I face formidable opponents in the game of chess and I’m thinking of the moves to make, trying to predict his/her move and trying to make the right openings to counter theirs. Some moves and opening I make gives room for my opponent to capture my important pieces and eventually check-mating my king. In such situations, I wish and sometimes beg for a do-over. Hehehe
