As a Marvel fan this weekend I went to watch Dr Strange, and like other Marvel movies I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. But unlike other movies there was quite a few things to learn for someone by watching the movie, other than the usual stuff one would find in a Marvel movie.
Mind over matter
Your mind is a powerful tool which few have understood and used by even fewer, the mind is like a universe. If you can control your mind, you can control a universe.
Just think for a second, happiness, sad, tiredness, stress all are being created by your mind, there is nothing as sadness if your mind decides not to create sadness, same goes for stress and depression. They too are all created by your mind. If you can control your mind so your mind only creates happiness and joy you would not be sad, you will live forever in a blissful life.
So how can we achieve this? We have to make sure only good things get inside our mind, it’s like a garden, as someone who takes care of the garden from parasites and diseases we too have to take good care of our mind. So instead of letting everything in we should make sure we filter out the good from the bad and only allow positive and good things inside our minds. So your mind will create only happiness and will give you the energy to get through the day.
Like I said, your mind is a universe, mind over matter. Control your mind, control your universe.
Our time is limited
Ever wondered why we are always try to work hard and try to achieve our dreams, because our time on this earth is limited. Just imagine, if we can live forever and our time on earth is not limited what would happen? There is always tomorrow, we can take a break from life whenever we want because we have unlimited time.
But we are not like that, each day we come closer to the end of our existence of this life. So what do we do? There is no right time in life, the right time to start is now, the right time to start building your life is now. So stop wasting the little time you have in life, start following your dreams and start following them now. Don’t ever waste your time waiting for the perfect moment, because there is no such time as a perfect moment.
An ending can be the beginning of something much better
It’s no doubt that for a surgeon the most valuable thing is a steady hand. At the movie Dr Strange loses his steady hands due to a car crash. At that moment he believes that is the end of his life and his a value as a human being. However this accident is the life changing event for him that takes him to the place of knowledge to become someone far more important than just a doctor.
We too will come across hard times and times and will lose which we think are valuable to us. But if we turn these hard times in to opportunities then that loss will take us to far more important places and will make us a better person than we are already.
