Power of the Mind

Starting anew

On new grounds…

Trying different stuffs

Eyes full of hope…

Excited, impatient…

With all the goodwill, the motivation that goes along

Working hard surely pays…

Then sometimes…

Too much confidence kills you much too early!

Not prepared to fall…

The whole world crumbles beneath our feet

When it happens…

Hopefulness turns into hopelessness

Thrill in pain and doubts

Confidence is squeezed

Then a little black spot suddenly appears

Slowly rises into a thought

This thought keep tickling in the mind

From delusion you make it a reality

The mind keeps focussing on it

Consciously or unconsciously…

That’s it…

I think am dull… Then I’ll turn up to be dull

I think I won’t make it… Then I will definitely not make it!

This is the power of your mind…

Thinking constantly of something just materialised it

And make it true…

That’s what happened to me…

Sitting for a first exam…

Not confident at all

Already doubtful because of the first horrible results of my assignments…

I let myself be handicapped by everything around…

This idea kept growing in my head not having even starting my reading… And give it a try…

And this kept me blurred…

So I did not give it my best shot!

Thinking I will not make… I didn’t give me the chance to make it!

From being over confident to not confident at all…

The mind simply shaped it in reality

And I finally did not find enough space to make it above all

Of course there may be many external reasons for that…

But the internal one primes…

I was not confident, I was sure I would not make it

And that’s what happens at the end…

My mind conditioned me to not give it my best shot!

This is a queer truth isn’t it?

So the opposite should also be true…

I conditioned myself to not make it…

I can now condition myself to make it!

So… Instead of letting myself down…

All I have to do is get back in the saddle

Go through it with a change of perspective!

My overall performance showed me I can do it…

On 5 papers…

3 Distinctions… 1 pass…

1 to redo!

What’s the big deal…? We’ll do it again and that’s all!

No problem…

I can stand up on both feet again

And I will!

Yes I can!
