The essence of our mind is created through the associations and meanings we provide to our life's circumstances. When we are younger, our minds tend to think finalities.
With experience, we realize the impermanence of it all. Of thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, and our general outlook. Our circumstances don't phase us as much because we have been here before, and seen this before. Even when something is new for us, we may have been exposed to something similar through others' stories.
However, it is difficult when our circumstances are some of the limited few in the spectrum of what's been known before.
When our mind's thought process has reached its edge, its capacity to associate fades, and it can no longer predict. It's now entered the range of the unknown. When our mind reaches this stage, it envisions dystopian scenarios.
Our life functions based on how our mind and our nervous systems function. No matter how wide your thinking reaches, it's still gonna be a limited range. As humans, our minds can only comprehend so much. Despite all of this, there's so much mankind has achieved. And it dazzles me the extent to which mankind has progressed.
Any shifts in your life will require you to reflect on your mindset. It all starts with you.
