Put Your Brain Into It

Those of you who do not like the sight of brains LOOK AWAY NOW!!  YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!

Now that that's out of the way I want to use this blog to share some thoughts on this social media post that I saw not too long ago. I'll continue below so just read it first.

That image above is virtually the same as you. A brain that contains within it everything that you are and will control everything that you do for the rest of your life. Of course you are in control (sometimes debatable), it is your brain, but it still is non the less wondrous to consider the significance of that one piece.

We think of things like soldiers, politicians, the celebrity superstars of our times. People admire them and aspire to be them. And yet when it boils down to it, they all have the same looking brain that you do. Its an image that speaks to not just how fragile we are, having one piece of ourselves that at the moment we can never change, but also how we are all so alike. Without going overboard we are one and the same and the image above really affirms that.

To link it a bit to business and entrepreneurship. Many would consider entrepreneurs to be a different breed of person, someone who is characteristically different to the majority of the business world. I'd confidently say that for some, they feel like they can't make it for themselves and that they couldn't possibly succeed. But why? I have a brain and you have a brain. Richard Branson and Bill gates also have brains (although with Bill Gates and the last few windows operating systems I'm not 100% sure). None the less, if one day you happen to think you want to make a change in your business life, but doubt you can do it, just look at that image above and you'll see that anyone can achieve anything. You just have to put your mind to it.

Thanks again for reading and as always, if you have any thoughts or ideas on this topic please post in the comments section below.
