“The mind is a powerful force. It can make the worst of the best or the best of the worst”-Mohamed El Ghandour

The mind, it is so powerful, and yet at the same time so fragile. We can take a look at history and see the atrocities that people have committed through being mentally manipulated. They lose reason and act out of an unconscious state of being. Numerous holocausts stem from this state of being.

We can then reflect on the numerous inventions by scientists that have helped humanity evolve throughout the years, and of the athletes, and leaders who used their mind power to move forward past limitations of the mind.

Yet I still feel that the fire within our hearts is our greatest leader, our guide throughout the darkness, our ally. We can always come back home to our heart and know that it will not abandon us, it will not mislead us, it will always be true. In the darkest of situations, go to your heart, it will lead you. Choose to ignore it and you choose to abandon yourself, to lie to yourself. When this happens you become disempowered because you are acting out of a disempowered state of being. Take your power back, listen to your heart and let it guide you.
