Hi Warrior Family,

A friend told me the following, "There's nothing more powerful in the world than a made up mind."

What are your thoughts? Agree or disagree?

    I dont know what exactly do you mean by made up mind,but if you mean by it a focused and calm mind which knows what it wants and is not burdened by the negative thoughts then i absolutely agree.

    I agree on this.

    It is very powerful.
    If you decide to go somewhere, and before you reach your goal you decide to go somewhere else, you will always be traveling but you never reach a goal.

    101% agree.

    I believe that there is nothing like a set up mind simply because
    that way it is unstoppable..literally.

      Agree. If you've made up your mind to be successful (however you define that) then nothing will stop you from reaching that goal. Your mind is made up

        The mind can accomplish anything we can conceive,
        plus more!

        Once you make up your mind, that means all of your
        energy and vibrations are attracting that outcome
        which makes the universe start bending in a way
        that allows you to accomplish your self fulfilling
        belief!

        So put your mind to something and appreciate the
        miracles you will be seeing throughout your day, putting
        your goals into motion!

          I agree. that is the most powerful tool we posses. even more than skill and experience.

          i have studied martial arts and the psychology of convicts

          Even if you are a highly skilled martial artist, without determination a convict that has decided to kill you will most likely kill you.

          Once we make a Decision on getting something its only a matter of time it is reached.

          The guy that owned the chicken recipe for KFC made a decision, and it took 1009 rejections to get his 1st yes. that guy was determined

    Mind is 90% or 99% success - the rest is application.

    The right Mind can achieve anything without limitation, but most people do not have it yet.

    Sounds like your friend has made up his/her mind.

    Nothing more powerful than that? Hmmm...

    How about an entire nation of made up minds? But still... nothing more powerful? Perhaps the point of reference determines just how powerful something is.

    To me, a made up mind refers to someone who can be
    decisive and stick to their guns no matter what.

    And that IS powerful...deciding what action to take and
    then actually following through.

    I disagree

    Right mindset is must but action is what makes you money. It's not very hard to understand why dreamers are always broke.

    Hi...Anjanette!
    Well,I am totally agree with this.
    But there is an important thing that your self confidence makes your mind made up,
    I.e. If you are confident then you can do anything..

    agree. making up your mind on something that is important could change the course of history.

    I disagree. How many times a day do we make up our minds?

    Probably 100 times. I decide not to eat a burger - what happens when I get hungry I'll probably eat that burger.

    A made up mind has no power. The real power comes when you take action. So I would say a made up mind that executes action is the most powerful thing in the world.

    Knowledge with out action is the same. There is no inherent power. Only when you execute knowledge are you powerful!

      Yup, power lies in action, not in the mind.

      I find it ironic how the original proposition was phrased: "a made up mind."

      In my view the mind is always "made up" in the sense that it's a fantasy, an illusion. Who can show me their mind? Not possible, because there's no such thing.

      We have thoughts that go by, constellations of them, whole galaxies of thoughts. And we call it our mind? We're educated to call it that. But in reality it's nothing but streams of thoughts. Nowhere does it say that we're required to latch onto them, identify with them, believe that they're important, or believe that they're real.
