What Your Mind Can Conceive Your Body Can Achieve

Figure out your purpose in life. If your aspirations do not scare you I want you to dream some more! Complacency in your current situation will not allow you to reach those dreams. Think unconventionally, find your true voice, and use it to impact not only your life but those around

Most everyone longs for some type of satisfaction in life, whether it is a career, love, or accomplishing some sort of goal. However, many times when someone reaches the point at which they feel

What should we do in life? That always seems to be the question. Life is not guaranteed to be easy, never turning out the exact way that we want it to. A lot of people work hard to achieve their dreams of making a massive amount of money and having more than a seven percent return on their 401k plan. Truth is, life is not about the amount of money that we have saved up, it is about what we do to make a difference and how we will make our lifetime worth it. Something that people should set into place is a plan for their future. A plan that would help not only directs their path in life, but the paths of those around them too.

As we grow older, we look back on our lives and wish that we had lived it to the fullest instead of living just to be alive. We're stuck on settling for things that make us happy for the moment , and miss out on the chance to find out what would have made us happy for a lifetime. Rob Liano once said, "If you don't know what you want, you'll never find it. If you don't know what you deserve, you'll always settle for less. You will wander aimlessly, uncomfortably

For years, philosophers have debated the mind-body problem, the issue of what mental phenomena are and how they relate to the physical world. Philosopher Descartes believed in substance dualism, the belief that the mind and the body are two different things. In this essay, I will examine Descartes’ substance dualism theory. First, I will review Descartes’s theory and reasons that support it. Then, I will review objections with Descartes’s argument. After that, I will imagine how Descartes would respond to these objections. Finally, I will conclude with an overall assessment.

Philosophy of mind had come across when philosophers had an idea of the concepts regarding the human mind and its mysteries. This branch of psychology had intended to elaborate and study the nature and aspects of the human mind, also how these concepts such as mental events, mental functions and consciousness would connect to each other, through the human brain and body. Philosophy of mind became one of the central areas of philosophy as the skills and abilities of metalizing are used to treat individuals as the bearers of unobservable psychological states and processes, and in order to anticipate and explain the individual’s behavior in terms of states.

Throughout the years of being human, one realizes that life isn’t just about surviving, but it’s about winning a competition that's made out of self absorbed goals. In order to conquer this mission we have set for ourselves, we feel the need to occasionally tear down others. William Shakespeare wrote Julius Ceasar to show that humans can be destructive, we can easily be manipulated when we are vulnerable, and when humans want something we are willing to go to any length to obtain our desires. Humans can be selfish and mean in the sense that they only help themselves survive to the finish line in this cruel world. When Brutus found out he could be king he caused his wife to stab herself in the leg because she started to over think things, he killed Ceasar with the help of the rest of the senate, and he also ended up killing himself and Cassius.

I see the pros and cons from this result, but, however, believe that this result does not reflect what I really think. I am satisfied with my life because my parents and family love me, devoting all they have on me. I think I have the best family in the world. However, I am dissatisfied with my life in the meantime because I think I am not working hard enough to match my expectations. I keep telling myself that I can do better, but in reality I make silly mistakes. Therefore, according to this thought, my dissatisfaction to life comes from my expectations onto myself rather than from my negative feelings toward the outside world. Because of this root of unhappiness, I have the motivation to work hard to achieve my expectations, pursuing my

If you would have told me twenty years ago that I would be where I am today I would have probably laughed at you. Growing up I never wanted for nothing and I had everything a little girl like me could possibly want. My parents ran a lake and a small local bait shop. For sixteen years we ran this little lake and I had it all. I had over eighty acres to play on, five different playgrounds with different equipment at every one of them, fishing, plenty of kids to play with during the summer time, a golf cart that I learned how to drive, free soda pop and the promise of a five course breakfast every weekend from some of our campers, I had a dad that I idolized, a mom who tried to teach me the important lessons in life, a sister to drive crazy, and a brother whom I got to see once in a while. I had it all when I was growing up and some of my class mates would make fun of me for being big, for being in a lower class, or simply because I was different. On the worst of days I would seek refuge in a little hidden world. The pine trees canopied over a certain spot and make different patterns across your skin. I would lay there for hours until Mama called for supper and watch as the bugs made a home and sometimes a squirrel would skitter around me in a hurry to get home to his family. The wind would blow through the trees and the sweet perfume would fill the air. Sometimes I would lay there until the tears would dry on my face and other times I would doze off until the sun started to

Through Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse we are able to determine that in life seeing life slowly and taking it step by step always with a good attitude is the way to live a happy good life. When wanting something taking a break from the steps we are taking to reach our goal and actually seeing analyzing and seeing things through will help reach self

There's a difference between living and existing. Some people may feel as though they’re just going through a never ending cycle of disappointment. In this day and age, it is easy to feel this way due to money, ailments, illnesses,

The mind-body problem, which is still debated even today, raises the question about the relationship between the mind and the body. Theorists, such as René Descartes and Thomas Nagel, have written extensively on the problem but they have many dissenting beliefs. Descartes, a dualist, contends that the mind and body are two different substances that can exist separately. Conversely, Nagel, a dual aspect theorist, contends that the mind and body are not substances but different properties. However, although Nagel illustrates the problems with Descartes= theory, Nagel=s theory runs into the problem of panpsychism. In this paper, both arguments will be discussed to determine which, if either, side is stronger.

Essentially, seeking happiness is necessary in life. We often hope to find happiness from other people, other things around us and forget that we can create it by ourselves. The novel “The happiness project” by Gretchen Rubin is sufficient evidence. The author states, “I am happy – but I’m not as happy as I should be.”(13) Then she started a project within a year to change her life and seek for a happier life. By making a list of things she has to do in the next twelve months, the author have done many things which affects her “Vitality” (1), her “Marriage” (38), her “Leisure” (112), her “Friendship” (141),etc. positively so that she can achieve her goal, which is a life full filed of happiness as she dreamed before. We can also do that. We know that if everyone of us set a goal and live purposely, we are all happy. However, we can be happier if we know how to change ourselves on the right way. We can make ourselves happy by doing simple things in our everyday life.

The mind–body connection examines the relationship between mind and matter, and in particular the relationship between consciousness and the brain. Many throughout history have often wondered what causes the connection between the mental portion of the mind and the physical state of the body. A variety of different topics have been proposed. Most fall under either the dualist or monist theories. Many philosophers have debated their theories on the mind-body connection to include such philosophers as Descartes and Plato. More recent researchers have moved beyond the dualist

Life sometimes seems scary. The fear of failure and the fear of the unknown make a person rethink its choices and goals, this happens all the time. As time passes, be days, moths, years or only simply one experience can change our whole vision of the world, about life, about what really matters and consequently about our goals. Throughout my whole life I have questioned so many aspects of my life, of existence, and consequently about my future. I never stopped wanting to achieve something big, that could change the whole world, some amazing adventure that would be the one thing that would give birth to all the amazing things that could happen next. As time passed I realized that life itself is one big adventure, and that what I will do every day will matter for me and for the people around me. I realized that life is not some perfect movie where there are good guys, bad guys and that in the end of one amazing journey everything would be solved. It may be a childish vision of the world, but it had motivated me for years to do the thing I believed would help me achieve this, and to believe in myself. Obviously as I grew up, I saw what the world really looked like, that sacrifices have to be made, that there are things which no one can control, that if I want something I have to work really hard. In today society everything counts.
