Master of the House
With Brain Mastery, you can break free from the unrealized goals of your past. You become a new person with new perspectives and a new ability to harness the creative and reasoning powers of your brain. Free from past fears, prejudices and preconceptions, you can create a new future and do after seventy the things that you wanted to do at thirty-five. Have you read about those men and women in their seventies and beyond who are climbing the Himalayas, winning literary awards, and starting world-changing charities? There’s nothing in them that is not in you. You cannot go back and rewrite chapter one, but you can start now to make a fantastic finale.
Through the continual, lifelong practice of Brain Mastering, you will truly become master of your brain. This means building a lifestyle centered in part on the four previous stages of BEST. You will continue to engage in Brain Sensitizing, Versatilizing, Refreshing and Integrating. As you do, over time you will continue to create new neural pathways that will help you discover new abilities and new ways of thinking. In short, vou will find new solutions to the problems of living.
This new lifestyle can truly lead to a new life! For example, it you were not previously interested in writing, but then in your brain education journey you discover an urge to write your memoirs, you might find yourself in, writers’ workshops, meeting other writers, and engaging your creativity to the fullest. Who knows, you could be a published writer for the first time in your seventies. The important thing is that you tried something new.
Brain Mastering makes maturity what it should be: a prime time of life when you are free of the constraints of work and children and are free to pursue a rich, rewarding existence. So many older adults miss out on this time because they cling to old grudges or let their minds become frail and halting, but that is a fate to which no one need be consigned. Science is showing us that our minds, emotions, and attitudes affect how long and how well we live as much as, or more than, what we eat or how much we exercise. A positive, hopeful, curious mind is a resource for exploring all the wonders that later life has to offer: Want to travel? Go back to school and get your master’s degree? Start a company? Volunteer? Learn to meditate? Do it. When you are master of your brain, you are master of your life.
You might also inspire others. Not all people who reach maturity will hear of BEST on their own. Some short-sighted people might even consider it New Age mumbo-jumbo. We know the truth: You must grow older, but you don’t have to grow old. You can just grow—in sagacity, purpose, joy, and energy. By pursuing your Brain Mastering lifestyle, you may well motivate others to do the same. You may change one life or a dozen.
