Construction is our nature. Our mind is the most powerful thing which humans possess. It has creative power. Channelising the thoughts in right direction is the easiest way to use and increase the treasures within.
In a study, it is said that mind is such a powerful tool that 90% of its power lies in the subconscious mind and we use only 10% of its power consciously.
Going subconsciously
The commentary that we give to ourselves consciously many times goes into subconscious mind. And this subconscious mind is so powerful that we can make this reality. This is the reason it is said everything is created twice in this world, first in mind and then in reality. We are doing this all day in our lives not being aware of its power.
Lets take an example of real life.
Remember the first day you joined your office. That time, when you saw your seniors, your desk, your colleagues, the work environment, people talking professionally talking about projects, growth, incentives, packages, technology etc. At first scene, everything was new for you. Right?
You listen everything curiously and keen to learn and understand this new way of life. You get optimised with this work life. You were enthusiastic about everything and always exploring it. Slowly you are turning now from college passout to a office person.
The information received by mind and environment changed your thinking patterns. Now your whole personality gets changed from a young college passout to a mature well mannered professional. And that too in a very short period of time. And if sometimes your youthful traits tries to come out in some meeting or with a senior/colleague , you silently remind yourself I am in this position. Who I am talking to and what is my code of conduct.
Programming the mind
So in this way, you are repeatedly programming your mind. And there comes a time when you completely become this new personality. After that, there is no more directing of the mind required for the new traits. Its for the office position. We do it similar for a new relation too. Like if someone is newly married or have become parents, we see a great change in their personalities (we become more responsible, caring, well mannered etc).
We can’t say these are new qualities developed after acquiring position/relation. They are not new…they were always there but it is just that you instructed your mind, so it got awakened.
