Welcome back!

There’s a clear connection between your success in life and the proper development of your mind power. Your mind is a powerful instrument, so never underestimate it.

People don’t always fail due to a lack of education, or no education at all. You can find many successful millionaires who got far in life without benefit of any sort of formal education. If you look at the achievements of successful people, you will see that they all have one very special quality in common – they never let their shortcomings stop them from pursuing their dreams. Rather, they regarded shortcomings as a springboard for finding success. Many successful people will tell you that in order to change the circumstances of your life, you must gain control over your shortcomings. These people all view success as a goal that is reached after numerous failures are overcome, and that in spite of repeated failures, nothing will keep them down.

Actually, people fail not because of their own personal shortcomings but because they lack strength of purpose and determination. The unspoken rule is that positive thinking will put you on the path to success. Positive thinking has the power to guide your feelings and actions toward one thing: success. If you want to win in life, you must adopt the proper outlook and attitude.

You must learn the art of self-mastery if you want to truly develop the power of your mind. It takes time to gain full control over the enormous powers of your mind. And to develop your mind’s utmost potential, you must have the strength and conviction to work at it tirelessly. When you do learn how to master the power of your mind, the sacrifices you’ll have to make won’t begin to compare with the benefits of gaining a true, deep feeling of accomplishment that comes from knowing you have achieved something quite important.

Many mind tricks are more than just tricks. They are creative techniques for tapping into the power of your mind. They entertain, but they also have more practical uses. A good example is the “pupil trick.”

Look in the mirror and watch your eyes as you vividly imagine something pleasurable. It can be a beautiful scene, your favorite naked body, or anything else that will create desire in you. You will notice your pupils getting larger almost immediately. If you practice a bit, you can make your pupils instantly larger at will.

Pupils enlarge when you are aroused, interested and receptive. When you are with someone and your pupils dilate, the person you are talking to subconsciously will sense your interest in them or what they are saying, and they like that. This makes it easier for them to like you, and to listen to what you suggest. You do not have to be a salesman to take advantage of this. Once you learn to control your pupil size, why not try this subliminal mind trick?

A Mental Math Trick

As a young boy in school, I did not “show my work” in math class. In my figuring, 97 x 16 became 100 x 16 (1600) minus 3 x 16 (48). It was easier that way, and almost automatic, so I would just write down 1552 even though I could not explain very well how I arrived at the answer. For my teachers this was a problem, but many years later such math shortcuts were sold in seminars and books. You might want to learn a few of your own.

A Memory Trick

Suppose you need to remember the following list: Soap, milk, honey, fork, and flowers. Just start a vivid story in your imagination, adding items to it as you go: At the sink, reach for the SOAP, and find the soap dish full of MILK. Wash your hands with that, and then comb HONEY into your hair with a FORK. Finally, pick up a bouquet of FLOWERS and smile at the mirror. Repeat each item while mentally reviewing your “movie,” and you will remember all five things, even the next day.

The human brain is a multifaceted organization of cells and around fifty million neurons that work with utmost complexity in order to keep you going healthy and strong. It is believed to be five times bigger than an average brain of a mammal with the same body size. In human beings, the frontal lobes and the fore-brain are especially expanded since these parts are the ones responsible for self-control, planning and reasoning. Thus, in order for you to have a stronger and healthier body, using the power of your mind to exercise your brain will better it. A healthier mind means a healthier body.

It is during your childhood or the early stage of your lifespan that the development of the brain and the central nervous system is critical. As we grow older, the body’s capacity to absorb nutrients is weakened. Thus, it becomes more difficult for us to protect ourselves from illnesses, injuries and stress. Simultaneously with our aging process, we also lose neurons, or commonly called the brain cells. Unlike the other body cells, the neurons do not regenerate nor do they replicate; and they do not have the capacity to repair themselves. Because of this, our brain is not able to perform as well as when we were younger.

Thus, in order to keep our brains performing well, we have to follow some do’s and don’ts. This way we can help our brain maintain its fitness and strength.
