In lifting weights there is a concept called the mind body connection. In philosophy there is a debate over we use our mind, that being thoughts and consciousness, versus being a part of our brains, the organ. If you think, create, a path for yourself to go through then the body and brain will follow it as the mind has directed. The concept is similar to the “law of attraction” but isn’t some save all god send. If you imagine your muscles getting bigger and believe it is happening, will happen and can happen then the work you put into making bigger muscles miraculously has better results. I can’t explain why, but it does. The same happens with every damn thing else in life. If you believe in it and think it through then there will be more stronger and likely results. This doesn’t mean you can ignore laws of physics and time and mistakes but you can get around limitations of time and physics by being persistent. Being held back is actually another mind body connection in itself.
When you are around people or a social stigma, it affects your belief in things. Saying you are powerless is a fucking choice. Many people like to blame their lack of power on the way of the world or reality or some such bullshit. Bad things do happen but we are in so much effect to what we do that we may not realize how we have placed ourselves in such a poor place but there is nearly zero chance that we ourselves had no hand in it. Agreeing with people around you is a natural thing. The more people around you believe in certain things, processes, likelihood and impossibilities the more or more consistently it weights upon your ability to believe then after your ability to do and have. Get by this.
You deserve what you accept because you accept what you deserve. There must be patience involved in this concept because time and physics are planes which most people find nearly impossible to suspend belief in, so sometimes we must wait. But believe in what you want and go forward for it. Nothing is hard, nothing is impossible until you name it so. The same with fun and enjoyable. All counterarguments to this are believing in a world where it is wrong therefore you will find evidence then forth dubbed fitting to prove so when there is in fact a million different ways to perceive the evidence that overflows the mind. Reality is not subjective but our path and interpretation of it is which sets up the coming realities.
