The whole world is between your ears.
The whole world is between your ears.
Yes I believe this to be true. The older I get the more obvious it becomes that this statement is true. Now do not get me wrong I have much to learn and experience and it’s something I look forward to as this is living and this is life.
The reason I say I believe the statement above “the whole world is between your ears” as it always depend on how you interpret any given situation. You always have the option of looking at a situation from a negative or a positive point of view. Now I know some of you reading this are outraged by my comment as you say you cannot even understand the news I got yesterday. Make no mistake I appreciate this and I am sorry for your news but I never said it was easy but I still believe you have a choice. I have seen friends and relations who got the worst news you could possibly imagine that their time was coming to an end, there was no cure.
The human being is truly the greatest creation on this earth
But I have seen with my own eyes why the human being is truly the greatest creation on this earth as these people accepted their faith and did so with dignity and positivity, some packed more living into their lives in the months or years they had left than they had in their whole lives. Others built relationships or became the people they should have been. So yes I believe you have a choice and I hope I act with 50% of the courage as my friends, if I got such news and I believe they took a decision and changed their world.
Your everyday living
Now let me change this article a little and let me tailor it to your everyday living and how the world truly is between your ears. First I think many of us just do not bother to think of what we want, we just get sucked up by life and live day to day, sacrificing pieces of our self on a regular basis to the point we now do not recognise ourselves any longer.
We justify this behaviour by saying to ourselves my children need me to do this, my husband, my wife, my partner, my parents, my siblings etc need me to do this act like that . This is a huge mistake I know I have done it for years, all you do guys is be you, this sounds so simple but the truth is it takes work, a lot of work.
Now I hear you saying ok Colm let me do the work where do I do it. Well the answer is you have to work on yourself. You have to invest in yourself; you have to adapt a continuously learning policy of personal development and self exploration. Many of us do not know who we are, we have been swept away with life that we have become desperately unhappy and are looking in all the wrong places for answers. You see the only one that can make you truly happy is yourself, but first you must learn who you are.
Personal development journey
I have started on my personal development journey about two years ago. I have made some serious progress but I struggle everyday in various aspects of my life but I’m continuously developing the personal tools to be able to manage myself and to clearly define myself.
So like everybody your life work should be on yourself and all the other aspects of your life is an extension of you. Therefore the most important organ to get fit and healthy is your mind and mind set, hence the title of the article “The whole world is between your ears”.
Invest in yourself mentally and physically
So you see you have to take the time to invest in yourself mentally and physically. Now I know I hear you scream again you do not understand Colm I have no time. This of course is an illusion on your part. Everybody in this world has 24 hrs per-day whether you are successful or not this is a fact.
So I ask you do you watch TV??? And of course many of you will say yes. Also I bet these are just soaps based on gossips and sensationalism, to be honest, complete crap and you guys spend hour a week here.
Learning from great people
You would be better served reading learning from great people like Brendon Burchard, Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins and John Assaraf the list is endless guys. Here you are learning how to manage this powerful tool between your ears and where the world exists. You need to set time aside each day to read personal development information
You need to set aside time to work and apply what you have learnt guys. This guys, will take time dedication and discipline and a scheduled. You have to remember this mantra “fail to prepare, prepare to fail”.
So guys take the time now to set a plan in place. This may require you getting up earlier to start working on yourself. I am sure you can imagine that if you are working on yourself and setting a plan to reach your goals and start making a little progress the rest of your life changes too for the better. You become better in all aspects of your life and the people around you will notice how you have changed for the better and opportunity and doors will appear and open for you.
They are in the “zone”
In a mediation, on abundance by Bob Proctor, Bob always says you will become calmer but you will move faster. As you are in control; this point may confuse you but many athletes experience this when they are in the “zone” where in their mind everything slows but in the real world they speed up that is why they score or create as it is started in the mind.
So I think that’s enough for you today guys to take in but I will be posting here every week on why I believe “The whole world exists between your ears”
I will be sharing my thoughts experiences the courses I am doing, the books I reading the people I’m following etc.
Also Guys keep in mind we are better 2gether talk soon
