CHAPTER 1

YOUR MIND

Freedom to take 100%responsibility for your life.

By Selwa Hamati

"Your mind is the greatest power in all creation."~ Dr. J.B. Rhine

I was recently asked to speak at a women's brunch. When Iwalked intothe room, I found beautifully decorated tables and dolls everywhere.The theme was "Childhood Memories." As announcements andacknowledgments were being made, one of the women (let's call herDee) told us this amazing, true story about an encounter betweenDee's dolls, another woman, and several city and county staff andvolunteers. Here's the gist of what happened:

Dee was planning her daughter's baby shower. She had put twoof her beautiful, extraordinarily lifelike dolls on a blanket in thebackseat of her car. Also on the backseat was her daughter's weddingalbum. There was a special conference on Saturday that Dee plannedto attend, after which she would go to her daughter's house to spendtime with her and prepare for the baby shower.

Street parking was not available, so Dee parked in a garage nearbyand walked over to where the conference was being held. At some pointduring the day, a woman parked next to Dee's car. When she stepped outof the car, she happened to glance into the backseat of Dee's car whereshe saw two "babies" wrapped in a blanket. The woman panicked andran over to the attendant to have him call 911. She told him that therewere two babies abandoned in the backseat of a car in his garage.

The attendant called 911 and then followed the woman to the carwhere the babies were sleeping. As they were trying to figure out away to get into the car and rescue these poor babies, they noticed thewedding album lying next to them. Their imaginations ran wild. Theythought for sure that the mom had left her two babies to die in the carwhile she ran off somewhere to kill herself. The woman who foundthese babies was now hysterical. The attendant was trying to calm herdown while figuring out a way to get into the car.

Soon the fire truck arrived. The firefighters tried to unlock thecar door, but could not. So they broke a window to get in there andrescue these poor babies. When they got in, they felt for the babies'pulse. Nothing ... it was too late. Everyone thought the babies weredead. The woman who found them was now hyperventilating andout of control.

By now, the medics had arrived. They had to take care of thiswoman, who had passed out, as well as see what they could do forthe little babies. Unfortunately, they, too, could not feel a pulse. As alast resort, one of them decided to look into the babies' eyes for anysign of life. That is when the medic discovered that the "babies" wereactually dolls.

Wow! I couldn't believe that this had really happened. Everyonewas laughing when Dee told the story. When you stop to really thinkabout it, though, it's not at all funny. Actually, it's quite sad. How oftendo we build a nightmare for ourselves based on nothing more than theappearance of things? How often do we arrive at conclusions based onnothing more than a mere glance at the facts?

The poor woman in that parking garage jumped to the worstconclusion. She assumed that a distraught mom had abandoned hertwo babies and taken her own life. See how easily and quickly she wasable to build the nightmare? What is even scarier is how contagiousnightmares can be. One person's panic causes another person to panicand the domino effect begins -- from bad to worse it goes, and it picksup speed along the way.

Although people think that perception is reality, it is not.Perception creates your reality — your reality, based on what youhave assumed and believed. I like this quote by Dennis Deaton, anauthor and motivational speaker: "The eye sees what the mind looksfor." Our minds are powerful and we need to know how to effectivelyuse them.

I am not a psychotherapist, but I have read and heard about theformula that is taught them: A + B = C.

A = What happens to you in life.

+ B = Your interpretation of what happens to you in life.

= C = How you act.

So our interpretation of what happens to us in life is really ourtruth, because our actions are based on our interpretations – ourperceptions.

Dr. Daniel Amen, a brain-imaging specialist, refers to AutomaticNegative Thoughts, or ANTs. Based on the story of the two dolls, canyou see how ANT infestations can take over your mind and causeyou to do things that you wouldn't ordinarily do? We must take carenot to let these infestations happen to begin with, but when they dohappen, we must be aware of the situation and be prepared to dosomething about it, like kill those ANTs before the infestation getsout of control.

Why is it that when things go well and you feel super happy, youtend to stop yourself from enjoying the situation too much because youfear you may "get used to it" and set yourself up for disappointment?You think, "This is too good to be true. I wonder how long it's goingto last?" Then you begin to self-sabotage. Think about it. If you do notdo this, then you must know someone who does. Too many peoplewaste beautiful opportunities by thinking, "What if it doesn't workout?" Well, what if it does work out?

We are intelligent human beings, independent thinkers. Theproblem is that most people have gotten so used to doing things by habitthat they don't think for themselves anymore. They live unconsciously.Somewhere along our journeys, we let a few "powerful" people takecharge of our important decisions and eventually gave them controlover more of our lives until we stopped thinking for ourselves. Wegave away our power to other people who "know better than we do"about us. It doesn't make sense, does it? So we must take charge ofour lives again.

I realize it is important to have good leaders, but the danger lies ingiving away all of our power. We think that "they" know best, are moreeducated, richer, more powerful or more experienced. So we lean on"them" to take care of some of the most important things in our livesand we get involved in busywork. We think that when we busily runaround, taking care of everything and everybody but ourselves, thenwe are doing what is right, what is expected of us or our "duty." Well,"busyness" has nothing to do with taking care of real business.

What happens, in most cases, when we hand over all of ourdecision making to someone else? We think of ourselves as victims.We feel helpless. And then we begin to blame other people for ourproblems. We give away our responsibilities because it's easier forsomeone else to get the job done and then we blame that...
