Just my thoughts #0721

Life is a journey to find intersections. It’s about discovering commonalities between two different attributes: what I want to do and what I am good at, what I recognize and what others recognize, and what I have to do and what I want to do. Knowing your identity well increases your chances of success. However, many people focus only on what they want to do. This mindset can weaken the connection between me and others. We live each alone in this world, but not completely alone. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Humans believe they are thinking, but they cannot artificially interfere with their thought processes. This means you cannot deliberately manipulate human consciousness . While memory can be artificially altered, thinking processes cannot. If it were possible, the individual might be a psychopath. Human consciousness is governed by the unconscious . So, if you want to solve an unresolved problem, don’t focus on it directly; instead, briefly use your consciousness, and then the unconscious will handle it. Over time, at the right moment, the unconscious offers a solution to the conscious mind. Inspiration occurs at this point. Therefore, don’t get too caught up in it. Also, give your brain a rest. That’s why sleeping and sometimes being dazed are so important for creative inspiration . - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

When we walk, our bodies follow an implicit exercise plan for that movement. This means that all the sensations experienced while walking, starting from the feeling in the soles of our feet, are pre-programmed into this walking plan. Consequently, the brain’s awareness does not expend energy tracking our movements. It operates as a very efficient system. If a sensory signal arises that deviates from this original plan, the brain quickly adjusts by updating the walking plan almost instantaneously. For instance, if you suddenly trip over a stone, this mechanism kicks in. Imagine the fatigue we would experience if our consciousness had to focus on regulating our motor skills with every single step! All of nature evolves toward greater efficiency.     - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
