Trusting the Mind



Write an entry that reveals how the mind can and cannot be trusted.

We have learned that trusting the mind is sometimes tricky.  Experiencing with things is how we learn and train our mind.  If you set your alarm to get up at a certain time, your mind lets you know that it is time for you to get out of bed.  You can trust your mind when it comes to things that will be painful and your mind knows this from experience.  Then when your mind makes you think that you can speed down the road, because you are running late and have a good excuse for why you are speeding.  The excuses you use when you get stopped will not keep you from getting a speeding ticket.  Your mind can be deceiving at times and there are times that you can trust your mind.  When there two different decisions going on in your mind think of the outcome of both, then decide which one of the two is the better decision.
