Improving Life

I was recently working on emptying a dump trailer while listening to music. It's hard to say if I was influenced by the music or not, but my mind wondered to a place where I ended up comparing mind to brain. I started having and internal dialogue and decided to take a break from my work to write down my thoughts. The results of those thoughts lead me to the idea that you must feed your mind as well as your brain.

People often consider mind and brain to be synonymous, but they really aren't. Your mind is composed of what you think, know, and understand. In essence your mind is where you live. This is why you can become immersed in a story. Your brain is the machine that does the work. It is the physical chemical electrical network that transmits, receives, and stores data. If you neglect your brain, your mind will suffer. If your mind suffers your existence suffers. In conclusion feed your brain the nutrients it needs and deserves so that your mind is able to function at peak performance, then feed your mind with the wisdom of the world so that your existence will be meaningful and worthy of living.

Until next time, keep moving!
