When I think back to the person I was fresh out of college or even during my MA days or at each major change in my life, I discover that I have had the fortunate ability to change mentally, emotionally and physically.

I have always been fascinated by the brain and its capacity. My only dream outside of becoming a writer was to perhaps someday become a neurosurgeon.

Sadly, when I realized just how much schooling was involved in this endeavor, I gave up on that dream knowing (or hoping) that I was not going to spend so much time in a classroom. Little did I know then that I would spend just as much or more time in the classroom in the end….

Now, I am continuing down a career change and even considering the possibility of going on an even different path (mere musings at the moment), and I am amazed at the capacity of the mind and heart to alter.

With every new challenge that comes my way, I find myself going into an even further depth of calm. While there is still a voice that argues and laments when these things happen, this voice is no longer central nor as strong. Instead, I became extremely calm inside, focusing on what can be done and then leaving the rest to ‘fate’/ God / the universe. 

In doing so, the effect of my altered state brought calm to those around me as well. So, slowly I am seeing how this kind of mental and emotional training can work toward bringing peace in the world – even if we start just amongst ourselves. πŸ˜€
