The mind is a powerful tool. Its power isn't underrated, it's rather hidden, and most don't realize how controlling it may be. Every thought, decision, and feeling after an initial reaction is most likely a direct result of how your mind perceives the situation. But, what happens when one tries to understand it? Will you be able to enter a zone where your mind doesn't manipulate but rather you are in true control? When distractions such as memories, expectations, and hormones stand in your way, will you be able to tune them out and concentrate on you? You are tested each day. You will continue to be tested whether or not you pass or fail. You will always be tested because your mind is always active. Your mind is active when you're awake, asleep through dreams, sober, drunk, or high. As usual, you are sidetracked. Something always gets in the way of your task and you might get engulfed in whatever the distraction is. Your mind can create a fantasy that you can perceive as reality. But, now you're trying to determine what's real and what's not. What do you know?
