Deeply insightful and helpful as always, tanx. The mind is such an interesting tool. Consider that thinking. feeling and willing are all aspects of the mind and yet the mind can cut itself up when not harmonizing these three. For example, you think something is too daunting, you feel like just remaining in the comfort zone and if willing, i e. taking action doesnt kick in, then you are held back. Soooo. what causes the willing to kick in? Id say an energy more subtle and above the mind, the intelligence, if sharp enough, then comes in to play its part. Just my thoughts on it for now
I think the same, my friend. I believe there is a spark within us, which in essence is more than that. It is above the mind, and it's the source of sheer will, and the mind can its powerful vessel, if trained. Some call it Atma, but it is known throughout the ages with other names. 😊
I think one of the issues many people come across is that they see a difficult task and consider it to be too large or overwhelming to complete. One thing that has consistently helped me take on difficult tasks throughout my life is to acknowledge that the amount of work is always finite.
I think a lot of the success in conquering new things like this comes from the ability to do what did: break the new task into smaller ones.
I think of starting a martial art, for example. If you were presented with all the requirements for black belt on day one, you'd freak out. But by breaking it up into color belt levels it becomes manageable.
Breaking tasks up into smaller ones is a skill, and perhaps some are better at that than others. But it's a skill that we all need.
Exactly Jamie, the skill of breaking daunting tasks into manageable parts, it's something we all need to master. Talent can't help people all the time. 😊

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
