The Greatest Muscle

This will be a short one, both because I know thta Dr. Gold is also sending yiou an email today, and also because i am writing this Tuesday to go out Wednesday but still got a lot of work to do today after I write this to get to you tomorrow. 🙂

Then, again, maybe I’ll see some of you tonight.

Or last night since you’ll get this tomorrow. 

OK, enough of that.

I just want to quickly address my amazing and awesome Executive Assistant, Ms. Ruthe, and all the rest of you reading this, reference her rightful reminder to me yesterday that the brain is not a muscle.

She is, of course, right.

If you didn’t read the original blog that sparked the discussion (of rather the brain is a muscle), you can read it here.

When you do, or read it again to verify what I am about to tell you, you will see i never used the word brain- i only said “between the ears”!

This moment of clarification allows me to more suitably reveal the particular “muscle” that I was talking about- the mind.

Now, of course, one could easily also argue that the mind is not a muscle either and is again technically right.

In confession, I used the term “most powerful muscle” with a bit of poetic licence to connote a certain understanding about power.

In truth, this power controls everything- our thoughts, emotions, actions, reactions and so much more.

As a man thinketh, so is he….

So, while the mind is niether actually a muscle, nor can we even be sure it’s actually between the ears, we can say in certainty that our training of it is one of the most important things that we can do.

I hope you had as much fun reading this short explanation as I did writing it.

Thank you to Ruthe for inspiring me, through her comment, to write it.

Have a great Wednesday and we hope to see you soon!
