Because sometimes I have a choice of what I do when I’m in fairly good control of my mind. And I have noticed that I don’t have a lot of strength of mind. I wonder if there could be gyms for strengthening the mind and what they would require.

I don’t think we are weak of mind. I think we are all stronger than most because we deal with this ■■■■ daily and still here. Weak of mind would symbolize failure to me and we are stronger than that.

We are strong minds. John nash for example had one of the strongest minds in the world…to be able to see past his delusions with no medication? That’s strength to me. I’ve been told I have a strong mind.
I think being mentally ill can, in some cases, contribute to creative thinking. If you want to think outside the box, you have to be outside the box. I think we are more likely to find innovative solutions to problems that others might not see. Normal people are more likely to get bogged down in details. They can’t see the forest for the trees.

Well, when it comes to children, I can’t see the forest for all the trees. I think my post was definitely in reference in my attitude and lack of ability with little children. Anybody can be annoyed by other people’s little angels but I agonize about it.
I’m wicked smart! And I am absolutely terrible with children! And that’s fine! Nobody is good at everything.
just remember you have strength of character and that’s what counts.
also, read read read, even though i work in libraries this isn’t a sales pitch.
