The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste

Remember those old commercials that showed a hot frying pan on the stove, “This is your brain,” cracks an egg on it, “This is your brain on drugs?” Yeah, me too. I remember.

I’ve always been fascinated by the brain. When getting my master’s degree, I had to take a class on the brain. I thought it was so interesting! I loved hearing about how it worked, and why, how to make yourself remember things and why certain tricks worked. My dad had joked with me, “If you like it so much why don’t you become a brain surgeon?” he’d ask. I think he just wanted a daughter as a brain surgeon.

Lately, I have been diving into something involving the brain and it’s power. I don’t want to reveal my secret yet, but I will. It really is an awesome organ if you think about it. It really tells our whole body what to do and how to do it, and when! It has all this power, all we have to do is control it and do our will. Whether we choose for evil, or for good. Ha! I am just reprogramming mine to do what I want, too bad I waited so long… but just like a bad habit takes awhile to train, so does a good habit. So, wish me luck, even though I have already decided. I know some of you detectives out there already know what I’m talking about but you’ll just have to wait until I’m ready.

Your brain makes all your decisions for you. When to get up, what to cook for dinner, how to drive to work or school. We can either make good decisions, or not so good ones. Every decision has a consequence, so let’s try to keep the good ones!

Have a great day everyone!
