We give all the meaning to the words we use from our past experiences of the word and then we project that meaning onto the word. Most of the time it isn’t even true. As an example; Just say the word Monday, see how you feel. Now say Friday and see how you feel. Yet right now they’re just words. Each day is brand new.
So when Monday rolls around we actually think it’s different than Friday and we act according to the thoughts we have about it. Instead of Life being new and exciting (because its never been here before) we recreate the day based on some imaginary story from the past and it dictates our behavior. So we are not really living! We are controlled by our past thoughts and we wonder why nothing changes.
Try going into work on Friday and say out loud “it’s Friday!”. Then watch the reaction others have. Now try that on Monday and say out loud “its Monday!” Say the words with the same enthusiasm both days. Watch what happens.
Without awareness of something other than our mind, the mind controls us, but we are more than just our minds!
