"It cannot distinguish between fiction and reality."Understood and harnessed appropriately, it will make you work wonders. You become practically unstoppable. Taken for granted and allowed to be used against you, and you might as well regret the very day you were born. Such is the power of the subconscious mind. It is the determinant of what our life turns out to be, and what it runs on - fear or faith. It is the storehouse of all our habits, both the apparent, obviously visible ones and the not too obvious, insidious ones.
"The key to success is to focus the conscious mind on the things we desire not on the things we fear." (Usman Mahmood)This helps in understanding the pandemic of mental illnesses in our world today. Our subconscious mind is simply giving back the harvest of all we have sowed and are sowing into it. Jim Rohn captures this so aptly. He said,
"The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. This is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to reap without apology if the amounts are big."
We are reaping what we have sown and are sowing. The challenge is not our mind, but how we put it to proper use.
