Faculties of the Mind: The Keys to Success

Okay,  so I strongly believe I have not been successful,  accomplished anything really meaningful in my life is because of MY MIND. "So as a man thinketh so is he." - Proverbs 23:7. 

So I took the initiative to find out the current state of my mind, I started a journal, spent some time alone with my thoughts, silent meditation and all, and I've come to realize that I have been limiting my brain to barely sub average performance. 

Imagine you've given a 900hp R35 Nissan Skyline GTR  top speed of 280mph with hundreds of miles of road, but you went and put a speed limiter on that car for 60mph? 
That is EXACTLY what we do with our MINDS. We let our minds run free, gather all sorts of crap, we think mediocre things assuming we think at all. Like a harddrive that has never been defragged. It will never function at optimal levels. 

I say all that to say this. The FIRST step towards success and a fulfilling life is: 

CHANGING YOUR THOUGHTS &

DEVELOPING YOUR MENTAL FACULTIES PROPERLY 

“There are six mental faculties that we have, and how we use them sets the course for our life.” – Bob Proctor

Now what are your mental faculties?

6 higher faculties of the mind

Reason

The reasoning factor allows a person to think. We can think about anything we want and desire. It set us apart from other animals and puts us on top. An animal usually acts on by instinct. Differently, the human being thinks and acts on by according this faculty.

Memory

We can remember or memorize anything we want. There are people saying they have a bad memory. It’s not true. They simply have not learned to develop this “mental muscle” to a better level. Look for a good book about memorization techniques and very soon you can have an outstanding memory.

Perception

We can say that perception is a point of view of each one of us. Two people can be looking to the same object and both of them may have different ideas of it. You can tell that a person must be right and other must be wrong. But the truth is that both of them are right. It’s our point of view, or perception.

Will

The will give us the ability to focus only on an idea and exclude everything else.

Intuition

Many of us confuse intuition as a “sixth sense”. The truth is that the intuition is a mental factor. We can define intuition as an instant idea or an immediately answer we receive without even thinking about it.

Imagination

The imagination is probably one the greatest miracles of the human being. It’s though imagination the things have been created. All the great inventions that have transformed our lives came by from this wonderful ability we hold.

Knowing these higher faculties and how they work, we can develop and use them to achieve anything we want in our lives. Our creator has given us the tools; it’s only up to us to develop them to a higher level.  

All these working together is what defines us, we are what we think, we are. 
Think about it. What are you doing with your mind?

WHAT IS SUCCESS?

We always say we want to be successful, but honestly though, have you ever sat down and think for a moment. 

What is success?

Is it making a tonne of cash, having that dream car, house and desktop have that epic social life, loved and known by the masses, females and all that? Or is "all that" just social programming?

Society says if you ain't the "Shit" the Top Dog, you're not successful.

Now giving thought and looking into things I realized one thing. That "SUCCESS" is RELATIVE! to the person. Success isn't what society dictates to you. It is what ever you want it to be, and the only limit placed on success is self imposed.

Success for me honestly: To be healthy as possible,  be the among the best in the field of Information Technology, be awesome at Web Development, make money doing what I love, own a kick ass custom PC, decent place to call my own, souped up JMD car, and I'm good.

Again to reiterate. SUCCESS IS WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE.  As long as the end of the day your doing what makes you feel fulfilled.
What is success to you?

The Power of THINKING

So I have been away for the last month or two, busy with school and what not, but now I have returned. 
For the last week or so I've been contemplating on this blog. 
Initially it was suppose to be Information Technology Based, but over the summer I went on a "Self Seeking" Journey, because to be real I was feeling LOST. 
No motivation or drive, no specific school, not really happy, not sad, Just a guy floating through university thinking whatever happens happens.  

Long story short it dawned on me that I don't want live a life that sucks, going from day to day surviving. I want to live in fullness, enjoying every moment in its entirety.
A Successful + Techie + Health nut + Master of the mind + Jedi Knight kinda guy and all that beautiful stuff

So while on the journey I realized I have access to the resources, everything I needed was right there in front of me, I'm even a good planner, BUT.... I just wasn't moving.

What was missing? DESIRE.. and not just any desire, the one that compels you to take action. And this desire is like a fire that needs to be fulled continuously.

With that said, the focus of my blog will not only be things of Digital Technology, but life technology.

Look out World... A learning Experience is coming.     

Being single. A gift or a curse

Its been awhile since I updated, being consistent with school and extra curricular activities is a lot more

challenging than the truly dedicated make it seems.

That aside I've decided to increase the diversity of my blog by not only posting technology related content other things related to life overall. Success tips, relationship, personal development and so on.

And to begin

Relationships aren’t for everybody! Relationships are only for “the ready”!

Web 1.0 and 2.0

Well I was in my internet authoring class the other day, and apparently there are different versions of the internet. Web 1.0 and Web 2.0, and I have to admit, I didn't know this. *shame face*
But hey its a Learning Experience... So if your like me I'll keep it short. Apologies in advance for the bad cut and paste.

Web 1.0:
So this wiki says that Web 1.0 was an early stage of the conceptual evolution of the World Wide Web, centered around a top-down of the World wide Web, centered around a top-down approach to the use of the web and its user interface.n approach to the use of the web and its user interface.Web 1.0 was an early stage of the conceptual evolution.

And web 2.0 is Web 2.0 was coined in 1999 to describe web sites that use technology beyond the static pages of earlier web sites. It is closely associated with Tim O'Reilly because of the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference which was held in late 2004. Although Web 2.0 suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specification, but rather to cumulative changes in the ways software developers and end-users use the Web.

In other words the difference between the two is simply a matter of concepts, and application.
The World Wide Web and internet are evolutionary entities which change with time and each generation. We can only guess whats coming next. 

Facebook Privacy is becoming a thing of the past.

Personally I love my privacy I love when everything this hidden, if i could be but a little atom on the walls of the internet I would be, But more and more as internet is being "monopolized" This privacy we seek is subtly being diminished.
