You are your key.

Have you wondered before about the conscious and subconscious world?

Every individual thinks. Their thinking can be anything that can range from life, love, problems, past issues, ongoing/upcoming issues etc. Although these thoughts may differ in many aspects, the tone can be generally categorized into optimistic and pessimistic. They either ponder about the best of the best in all possible worlds or deepen into the gloomiest possible views. Whichever it may be, there’s an impact on how and what the outcome will be.

Life is a complicated journey we must walk. It offers us with many things beyond our expectations. It offers us with opportunity, speaking of which we often let it pass by. It offers us with challenges that we sometime find it hard to overcome. It offers us different directions that put us in a dilemma of choices. Sometimes we get so breathless and tired of living, while sometimes we just smile at it and fasten our pace. Hence, in order to keep up on track, we must do things in the right way and live it right.

The power of human mind is the key. It’s you who control your feelings. It’s you who choose your thoughts. It’s you who determine the portrayal of yourself. You, like anybody else, have the power to do things beyond the limits that you think you can reach. You, like anybody else, have the power to organize your life within your palm. You are the answer to your doubts and your desires.

In my point of view, the subconscious mind plays a more important role than the conscious mind. From my belief, a successful person is one who can control his subconscious mind in the right sense, the right way.

Take doing comprehension for example (got this theory from a book), the teacher always reminds the student to glance through the questions first before reading the passage, and then read the passage twice. Why is this so? The reason is simple. When you read the questions, you register them in your subconscious mind which constantly tries to tackle the questions before and when more information is being registered. And hence, you sometimes find it easier to complete the comprehension in that sense. This theory goes the same way as for the mind map. That is why by looking at the big picture first, helps in the analysis when looking into the details. Whatever it is, my point is – the power of your subconscious mind.

Many times in our life, when things happen in an unfavourable manner, we complain about it. Sometimes, we complain so much that we constantly remind ourselves in our subconscious world although it seems like it has moved on in our conscious world.

Many times in our life, we include the word “if” in our thoughts or conversation etc. We use it to describe our past, present or future (think about it). Some are positive “ifs” and some are negative “ifs”. The “ifs”, however will stay in our subconscious world and will always be that way, unless we take actions to erase these “ifs” in our conscious world.

Experiences, be it the good ones or the bad ones, stays in the conscious mind for a while and leave but not the subconscious mind, which stays there forever. These experiences in the subconscious world constantly remind us on how to do the things right or how to prevent yourself from making the same mistakes again etc.

In conclusion, never let your subconscious mind controls you. Instead, control your subconscious mind and you know you have the power to. Your conscious mind has too many things to handle like your actions and reactions etc. On the other hand, your subconscious mind is always doing the thinking, whether or not you are aware of, even when you’re asleep. Therefore, since you have one life to live, which means you have one chance to do it and live it right. Be optimistic and dream what you want to dream, dare to do and reach where and what you want and live a better, happier life.

All these may sound complicated, confusing or even contradicting and controversial, but hope you can get what I’m trying to put across to you. Below is something a friend had shared with me in the past and I will like to share it with you guys. Enjoy!

When you think,
it becomes your thoughts,
which will lead to your motives.

Your motives,
will become your actions,
which will soon become your habits.

Your habits,
will determine your character,
which will then be your destiny.
