Commanding the Mind
So I’ve started reading Dune for the first time, and as I was thinking today I recalled an apt quote from the book: “the mind commands the body and it obeys. The mind orders itself and meets resistance.” How true can that sometimes be. I think even the most disciplined people struggle with it at times. And how much have the events of 2020 exacerbated the struggle? In some way, you just have to feel, reset, and continue. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized it’s not only about preventing the lulls, but limiting their length to minutes, not hours, days or weeks. That journey, personal to each and every one of us, leads us to our potential. How simple the phrase is; keep calm and carry on.
