A Marvelous Mind is given to you – use it.
Here is why I thought of writing about our marvelous minds. I did a live video on Facebook talking to young people.
It was not planned, and I was not really prepared for it, but it made me think afterward about some questions I got and what is the root which distracts and disturbs especially young people. What keeps them from going confidently after a dream? A marvelous mind is given to us, but we need to be aware and use it
I remembered that I did write around 40 years ago into a poesy album of my son. This was common for kids at that time to have a poesy album to get quotes and advice and connect to friends and family members. Everybody liked to put a quote or a picture or did draw something for the kids.
I wanted to write something meaningful to remember for my son and did write: “No ruler of this world can be the ruler of your mind” Now, Time changed, and I should have written: “No ruler of this world can be the ruler of your mind if you are conscious.”
The influence of the mainstream media
In between, things changed a lot. We are influenced by the wanted manipulation of Media, TV, and advertisement, which can rule our minds if we are not aware of it. Eldon Taylor did write an eye-opening book about this called” Mind Programming”. From Persuasion and Brainwashing to Self-Help and Practical Metaphysics”
Read >“The herd must be led.”
And Have You Ever Thought of the News in this Particular Fashion?
Paradigms and limiting beliefs
But even without all this, we have been conditioned we have paradigms and belief systems which we inherited or have been taught by our parent’s teachers and society Things that changed in between and are not true anymore. Like the quote, I did write for my son. It can be little things, but it summons up if we really look at it.
I have been only 18 years old when I went first time to Iran, a totally different world, beliefs, and religion, and I realized some beliefs which were totally different or some I knew for sure are wrong. Not very big things, sometimes only little things but which made a big difference in people’s perception. This made me, even more, search and seek than before.
The conflict between young and old.
There was always a conflict between young and older people, and today sometimes more. Many blame parents and elders for not understanding the youth, but what if, they do not know better? What if, they have been taught this way and believed in what they have been taught? What if, if they have been taught wrong? or what they have been taught is not true anymore but they are not aware of it?
Certainly, parents always want the good of their kids. But often, they are not aware that they lived in another time. Tagore is right: “Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.” – Rabindranath Tagore.
Taking responsibility
Better is instead of blaming and conflict, we all, and especially the youth needs to learn to take responsibility for life. “If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams”. Les Brown
We Are Born With Inherent Potential A Creative Genius
You have been given a Marvelous Mind
You are the ruler of your Marvelous Mind and can choose what you let in. And you are given mental faculties imagination, memory, perception, will, reason, and intuition which you can use. If you take responsibility for your life and use your marvelous mind you have been given; only you are the creator of your life.
How To Use Your Creative Mental Faculties – Magic In Your Mind
“Memory” is the mental capacity or faculty of retaining and reviving facts, events, impressions, Information.”
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.― Albert Einstein.
“When things aren’t too good, you can change them by changing your perception of the situation.”-Bob Proctor.
“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change” -Wayne Dyer.
You may like to read Eldon Taylor’s book “What If,” which demonstrates beautifully how the way we look at things can change our perception. A book about What If?: The Challenge of Self-Realization
“Change your perception of temporary defeat. Look at it as a setup for your big win.”
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” proverb.
“Reasoning is the mental tool that use to think with” -Bob Proctor
The only real valuable thing is intuition”. Albert Einstein
“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ― Steve Jobs
Follow your intuition, follow your heart
Your intuition is your connection to divine guidance. Intuition is what your heart tells you and always gives you a good feeling, the feeling to be correct. Often the first feeling you have after a good idea that may be followed right away by doubt and fear, which is the ego. It is good to learn to differentiate.
Taking full responsibility for your life and following your intuition is the best thing you can do to get to your dream. It keeps you from blaming others, comparing yourself to others. If you are certain about what you do, you will gain confidence and are not vulnerable to blame, and guilt others want to put on you. You will be happy and even more confident if you followed your heart and it worked outright. It is a process, but knowing and being conscious brings experience.
“Each man is questioned by life, and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life, he can only respond by being responsible.” “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” – Viktor Frankl.
Take full responsibility for your life and be yourself the ruler over your marvelous mind. Go confidently after your dream.
To your marvelous mind.

Hello Erika,
Great shout over here 🙂
We all have blessed with marvelous minds and each one have their own ability to get things done in different aspects.
Yeah in this fast moving world sometimes the trends we adore so much do have some bad effects on our mind set.
The Internet, multimedias and social media platforms works as a human betterment project while on the other hand,
they too distract our minds and leads it to a negative aspects in life.
People do get disappointed in not achieving what they wish for or by comparing their self from others.
Its all about picking up the responsibilities or the priorities in which way we want to drive our mind set with.
Youth is considered as the change, they have that capabilities to change the world for a better cause and put something
productive in. All they need to take is the responsibilities to get going in a positive direction.
Thanks for sharing this insights among us.
Shantanu.
Shantanu ,
You are right, all these media platforms are very useful if used right.
This is with many things the same, it is on us to use it to our advantage.
According to the law of relativity everything just IS. It depends on our level
of awareness to use things to our good or waste our time and life on it.
We are responsible and it depends on out thinking what we create.
The youth is change and I am very hopeful if I see many of you young people
being ambitious to learn, do what you love, help each other and go after your dream.
Everyone who is willing to learn new and has an open mind and can see the possibilities
is like a seed for a better world.
To your capability to change the world 🙂
Thank you for your thoughts
Erika
I do. 🙂 You make a great point by bringing notice to the idea what we are ultimately the ones in control of our minds and our destiny. We cannot let others change that.
Good, you do Elise,
we should not let others let control our mind. For many young people, it is not easy to clear the mind. They need to take responsibility and be aware of this.
Thank you for your comment

Hi Erika mam
A wonderful post!
You are very right that we all are blessed with marvelous minds but each person uses it differently. Social media and things happening around us have a great impact on our minds.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Sonal,
you are right media has an impact on us, we need to take care that we not go into the trap and keep our minds clear.
Thank you
Erika
Hi Sonal
I totally agree with your statement that media provides us with both good and bad stuff and it all depends on us what we go for.
Thanks
Such an important topic! I have always loved quotations and you have shared a wonderful collection with us. I think my favorite is, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.― Albert Einstein. For me, this covers so many things, including achieving our full potential. Too often, I believe, we attempt to do or accomplish only what we comfortably believe we can do without taking too many risks. But we are all capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for! It may take a little imagination to see that next step, but oh my, when you dare to take it a whole new world can open! Thank you so much for the inspiration, Erika. 🙂
Hi Marquita ,
You are right, Einstein’s quote covers many things. Many do this and only do what is comfortable and not dare to risk. It is really so much more we could experience. It needs faith as well. I like this quote of Bob Proctor: “Faith and fear both demand you believe in something you cannot see. You choose!” Don’t go after what you think you can do. Go for something beyond you have ever done before” This works if we use our imagination and intuition. You are right, when you dare a whole new world can open!
Thank you for your thoughts
Erika
I think that it was Einstein who talked about the intuitive mind and how we needed to tap into it because that is where our genius is. Then we can build ideas in our mind…and ideas and change the world.
Yes Rachel ,
the intuitive mind is most precious and we can use it
to get ideas and create our life. Good if we can hear this inner voice
and pay attention to it.
Thanks for your comment
Erika
Beautiful post Erika! We should never give up control of our mind to anyone else. If we let others tell us who we are, what we believe in and what we can do, then we’re not really ourselves anymore. I love the Les Brown quote you shared, and the Einstein one about imagination too. Thanks!
Right ,Ruth,
we should never give up control over our mind.
Only today it needs more awareness not yo get manipulated.
I too love the quotes.
Thank you for your comment
Erika

Hi Erika,
We as humans have become puppets on the hands of media as we are easily swayed by others. Your inspiring post speak volume about we should have appetite to learn things and listen to people.
We are responsible for ourselves and for those who are associated with us and we need to live a responsible life.
Thanks so much for motivating us with this wonderful and awe inspiring post 🙂
Hi Rajkumar ,
you are right and we need to take responsibility for our own life in the first place before we are able to be really responsible for others.
Thank you
Erika
Pretty interesting post Erika,
I’m a huge fan of Steve jobs and always try to learn from his work and inspire from his inventions.

Hi Edward,
I like your quote and I am glad you enjoyed the quotes in the post.
Thank you for your comment and quote

Hi Erika,
What resonated most for me from your excellent post was the part about children being born in different circumstances to their parents.
My “children”, now in their 30s, have completely different views and opinions to those that I had rammed into me as a child – AND as an adult. Because for more years than I care to admit to, it didn’t occur to me that there was a different way to what had served my parents (and indirectly me) so very well.
But now I realise that “the boys” are far more in tune with the way the world is than I am. I am humbled and proud to say that they have opened my eyes to many things I would never have considered before. Neither of them is on social media.
Joy Healey – Blogging After Dark
Hi Joy,
we all grew up with the beliefs of our parents and who knows if what they learned was right?
As Einstein said: “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing”.
We often get late aware of things if we do not question it. I changed places as a kid often and went young in another country
where many things were taught differently and this made me searching and curious. We can learn a lot from our kids and the youth.
Thank you for your insights and comment
Erika
Hi Erika,
Wonderful article I do believe that we are in charge of our own destiny. We should not give up control of our mines to anyone. Suprised by this quote
“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ― Steve Jobs
Hi Kathryn,
right we are in charge, but these days often our mind is influenced by media and..
Good to be aware. I wonder why you are surprised of Steve Jobs quote?
I think intuition is our most precious mental faculty.
Thank you for your comment
Erika

Hi Erika Mam, Great post about the mind. Yes, the mind is a precious gift. We need to utilize it in an appropriate way. Thanks for sharing this wonderful post.
Hi Sazia ,
you are right the mind is a precious gift and we can make it a tool to create a joyful life.
Thank you for your comment
Erika
Hello Erika, Thanks for this inspiring post. When we put all our mind into one thing it can make wonders. We have to cherish this gift.
Hi Nathaniel,

It is a precious gift.
Thank you
Erika

Hi Erika,
We are literally slaves to our mind and as a result we need to nurture our minds for making it function productively. Yes, this is where our role as a matured and sensible person comes to play. Thank for giving us a window of optimism and a way to make our lives better.
Hi Rajkumar,
we are only slaves if we are not the ruler of our mind.
With awareness, we can learn how to make it as we want.
With our thinking, we create our world.
If we have the control everything is possible.
Thank you
Erika

Hi Erika,
Happy New Year! I like the tradition of the notebook for your son. What a treasure!
Oh, those pesky limiting believe. Every time I hit a challenge or one of those brick walls I reassess my limiting beliefs. I’ve done a lot of soul searching and personal growth work and I know that I’ll never be done BUT I’m still surprised that every time I hit a problem – sure enough a limiting belief is behind it! Sometimes just the act of identifying a limiting belief is enough to for me to diffuse it. Other times I have to apply EFT or some other process to let it go. Either way, we cannot eliminate a negative belief if we are unaware that it exists.
Hi Rachel ,
Happy New Year to your happy healthy and successful year 2018.
You are right, we only can eliminate this paradigms if we are aware of them.
They keep showing up and sometimes we wonder why we did not found them earlier.
I like EFT as well for this and to identify limiting believes is often enough
to get rid of them.
Good we never stop learning.
