#mental capacity

Agility is definitely a game changer and by this I'm specifically referring to mental agility. Circumstances and situations are unique, each having a distinct set of challenges. Your mind's instant ability to weigh the matter in less than a fraction of seconds and to determine the response action is something that must defy the computing powers of even the most advanced language models. The world we live in today sees time as the most valuable asset. Your allocation to perform may be just a few seconds. How you handle a given situation and what decision you formulate within those milliseconds could either make you or break you. So cultivate the habit of fast thinking, quick analysis and agile thought processing. It will literally save your day!

I keep wondering is there something wrong with me that I can’t seem to understand things. That the things that at one point I can grasp, I can no longer grasp mentally…wondering is life always going to be this back and forth journey for me or is this just a phase/season that I’m in; that maybe before long, the smoke will clear and the clouds will dissipate and everything will make sense and I can finally put EVERYTHING that I have learned so far into action without a hitch due to lack of adequate mental processing.

Because it’s rough going through life being frustrated with myself because I think I should have understood certain things by now to the point that the wisdom from what I learned is a part of the way that I live my life. But instead I just feel very dumb, inadequate, irresponsible, and lazy.

I don’t get it at all.

Pointing Forward

Have you ever wished for an extra arm when doing too many things at once? What about an extra finger? A small number of people are born with a sixth finger, a condition known as polydactyly. A new study examined two such subjects to better understand how we might one day improve artificial replacement or additional limbs. They found that the sixth finger, between the thumb and index, had its own distinct muscles (green) and movement, enabling the subjects to complete with one hand tasks that take five-fingered people two. The study also found dedicated brain resources taking control of the sixth finger, illustrating our mental capacity for controlling additional movement with no sacrifice of function elsewhere. This behaviour has been trained since birth, so it’s unlikely that we could all instantly handle enhanced limbs and digits, but it does point to a promising possibility.

ill begotten

Go ahead and leave,

But think before you walk through those doors,

Because the second you do,

I'm rebuilding from the ceilings to the floors

Never once will I fall back,

Always will I shoulder the weight of my world,

Until my bones break,

Not even when my legs have become curled,

Death an easy escapade,

With which to formulate a sever from the chord,

Life a simple sacrifice,

The price one so staggering I simply cannot afford,

The memoirs of a thief,

One who only became so from others ill intent,

Must devise a plot,

Stuck like a rat in a maze trying to find the circumvent.

Just thought of how I can pick this story back up when I get to it

Let me fade

I have an odd sense of reality, maybe it’s false or insane, but i like to fantasize about it. I feel the human mind has unimaginable bounds, but we cannot harness those things, it could destroy us, but i truly feel, as if the placebo effect, if one truly believes, it will happen, just as our minds are so moldable, if someone were to free their mind completely, they could indeed jump off a cliff and fly away, their body may fall but their mind will always reach to the sky. In the sane way, if i truly think hard enough, with all of the strength i can muster, to wish to be completely dissipated and swallowed into the earth to disappear forever, i can. If i do not, then i know, somewhere in my soul, I’m not yet ready to give up living, and there must be some possible outcome i have not yet achieved, some future i must go see, thus, i cannot leave.
