As a teacher, I constantly notice one of the many things that validate the saying that our mind is a powerful place.
When a student sets their mind to an average grade, they often end up with an average score.
Similarly, when a student sets their mind to an excellent grade, they end up having a high grade, or at least, with a grade very close to their target.
The connection between what they conceive in their mind and their result isn’t automatic. No.
It’s what happens between the conception and the result.
Once we conceive something, we feel compelled to achieve the exact thing we picture in our mind. The amount of hunger and dedication we exude is limited to the amount of result we conceive. The size of what we set out to achieve determines the size of efforts we channel towards achieving it, and, consequently, we achieve just what the size of our efforts can produce.
If, for instance, I target A in LIT201, I’ll feel a sense of duty to read all the texts and every necessary material. By contrast, if I don’t mind having a C, I’ll easily drop a boring text because I can get a C without completing the text.
It’s the same in every aspect of life.
Conceive the best outcome and follow the push to achieve it.
