It’s been a while since my last post. Life has been busy—but let’s be honest, that cliché is tired. The truth is, new things are happening, and it all begins in the mind.
To put it simply:
A positive attitude, rooted in faith, pulls you closer to your dreams.
A negative attitude, rooted in fear, pulls you down a dark road.
Life isn’t as complicated as we make it—especially if we learn how to think and understand how our brains work.
How Much of My Brain Do I Use?
It’s said that the average person uses only 6–8% of their brain capacity in a lifetime. Albert Einstein supposedly used 10%—and with that, he revolutionized science and helped create the nuclear bomb. So what about the unused 90%?
That question has intrigued people for generations. It's part of what some call "the quest for consciousness." Einstein once said, “I want to know God’s thoughts... the rest are details.”
Complete Consciousness: Heaven or Hell
I believe full consciousness—100% awareness—will only be experienced in eternity.
In Heaven, faith will be complete.
The fruit of the Holy Spirit will fill me—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, self-control—not occasionally, but always. Every question I’ve ever had will be answered. It will be exhilarating, enlightening, fulfilling, and unfathomable.
But in Hell, the opposite is true. Fear will dominate.
Heartache, regret, bitterness, hatred, rage—and every other negative emotion—will consume the mind completely. No hope. No peace. Just torment. I’m incredibly thankful that’s not my destination.
Mastering the Mind: A Daily Discipline
So what does it take to live at even 10% of our brain’s potential while here on earth?
We must master our thoughts—bringing the right brain (creative, emotional) into harmony with the left brain (logical, analytical). This synchronization is only possible when positive thinking prevails, moment by moment.
Is it possible? Yes.
Is it easy? No.
The impact is powerful—but it requires discipline.
The Science of Thought
Dr. Caroline Leaf, a cognitive neuroscientist and author, explains how every thought we think impacts our actions and our health. She says:
“Negative reinforcement releases negative chemicals.
Positive reinforcement releases positive chemicals.”
This aligns with findings from the American Institute of Stress, which reports that 75–90% of visits to primary-care doctors are stress-related. That number is staggering—but rings true, at least for me.
Final Thought
Remember this:
Attitude is a state of mind that produces a reaction in the body, which results in behavior.
-
Negative emotions are born out of fear.
-
Positive emotions are born out of faith.
Choose wisely which one you nurture. Your thoughts are steering your life—make sure they’re taking you somewhere worth going.
Adios for now,
