The Mind
The mind tricks the user - me in this case.
The ability to control the mind or hold-the-reins (so to speak) is of utmost importance.
I recently read something on the lines of -
If one can't take hold of their mind, they can't get anything meaningful done.
Couldn't be more true.
My personal struggle has been with a mind that does it's own thing. But how could that be? This very realisation is coming from the same mind too right!
Normally, I would've spent hours if not days browsing the internet, reading snippets or books, trying to understand why it's so.
Even now, a large part of me wants to speed up that process with a little bit of AI - a tool for massive intellectual hedonism, right on my fingertips.
Curbing that urge for now though.
Eureka!
Maybe that's it.
That thing I just did. Curbed an urge, chose what to focus on - or at least arrived at this point through some form of learning/training etc.
Maybe this is the normal way of being.
Bring back focus. Consistently. Continuously. For longer stretches.
