The power of the mind to transform itself
Last Friday at Swirl, I got into a conversation with Bob about the power of the mind. He was reading a book that touted an individual’s ability to make his or her own world. I’m a big fan of this concept – and love artist, Louise Nelson’s quote: “I have made my world and it is a better one that what was offered me.”
I woke this morning and decided I was not going to get down and dirty with the LaLa – I wasn’t going to let Javier mess with my mind, or Louie not showing up be a source of agitation, no more than I would worry about the fact that Pieri had cut the holes for the faucets wrong – because you know what? – it’s all good.
And so it is. A person possesses an incredible amount of control over his or her environment – it’s the power of the mind to visualize it good, to dream about it better, and to enjoy every fucking minute of it.
