Mens Agitat Molem

It’s all in the mind.”- Arnold Schwarzenegger (Kehoe, 2004)

The human mind is the most powerful tool that can be used by an inpidual. Our brain may act as versatile as a computer but our mind power is the operating system that runs it all. The power of our mind is even greater than positive thinking.

Why is that so?

Let me use an analogy. Water is a substance which always takes the shape of its container, whatever it may be. In the same manner, our mind power can be designed or established based on the ideas that we conceive on it because it is a thing of habit”. It is like a garden on where we can plant seeds that will grow someday to be our destiny, and yes, we are the gardener. Nevertheless, it is our responsibility to wisely choose what seeds are planted in the garden, what we inscribe in our minds for we are the sole master of our destiny.

Since our mind power can change us, internally, it can also change the whole picture, or the whole world. It can even move mountains. With our mind power, we can erase some, if not all, of the most alarming issues that our society is facing.

We can move mountains.

One mountain that I would definitely like to move is the continuing abuse and addiction to drugs.

According to the 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), approximately 3.5 million Americans aged 12 or older reported trying heroin at least once during their lifetime, representing 1.5% of the population aged 12 or older” (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Results from the 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: National Findings, September 2006).

Alarming, isn’t it?

But with the use of the education that I acquired from the University of Oregon, I can put an end to this problem. Through education, I will be a good example to all the young people out there. I will awaken the sleeping minds of those who chose to become a victim of drug abuse by increasing their awareness of the serious damage that can be inflicted to them. Most importantly, I will ascertain that all the sales of drugs are monitored so as to prevent the increasing number of people who abuse drugs. And lastly, to those who are already held captive” by the drugs, I will have them freed through rehabilitation.

Another big mountain to move is the different kinds of pollution that are mercilessly trying to kill Mother Nature—air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution.

I will reduce the level of damage that air pollution has done by promoting more smoke-free zones and by controlling the kind of fuel used in automobiles. To control the amount of pollution in water, I will ask everyone (in this big world) to lend a hand by not throwing garbage anywhere. I will also educate the people against littering by hosting anti-litter campaigns and solid waste management programs.

The world we live in is interacting with all its components, thus, a change in one of the many aspects will cause a great deal of change in the grand scheme of things. One persistent push can make everything move.

One determined step can start a never-ending journey.

And one person can make a lasting difference.

Because nothing on Earth is so great that a person with a positive and strong mind power cannot move.
