Inner Guidance, Concentration and Mental Strength
A person forgets because they don’t use their mental strength to focus and concentrate on their intended task. This is 
especially true at the moment the idea hits them. We remember only that makes a deep impression; for this reason we must first deepen our impressions by connecting, in our minds, specific thoughts and ideas that are associated with them.
Let’s say your significant other gives you a letter to mail. You don’t give it a second thought, put the letter away safely and leave the house. When the letter was given to you, if would have you said “This will be easy, there’s a mailbox on my way to work, I’ll just drop it off there.” Then when you passed the mailbox it would have triggered your memory and you would mail the letter.
This same association holds true for all actions, especially for the ones of great importance. For example, if you’re told to stop off and see an important client, Tom Peterson, while coming back from lunch, you could say to yourself (make the association) something like:
“On my way back to the office when I get to the corner of Willow and Elm, I’ll go up Elm where Tom’s office is.” You see, you have made an association with “corner of Willow and Elm” and “See Tom Peterson.” And when you hit Willow and Elm it will trigger the memory to see Tom.
The two important things to do here are:
- Make the task a “priority” in mental list
- Make a deep and significant impression the very instant you receive the task (either by others or yourself).
This is done, not only by concentrating on the specific task, but by surrounding and associating it with triggers. This way, each one will reinforce the others.
The mind is directed by the mental strength law of association. That is, thoughts and ideas that enter the mind at the same time are remembered at the same time, one assisting in recalling the other.
The reason why people cannot remember more things to do is that they have not used their mental strength and concentrated their minds sufficiently on their purpose at the moment when it was formed.
You can train yourself to remember simply by using your mental strength to focus and concentrate your attention on your purpose, in accordance with the laws of association.
When once you form this habit, attention is easily focused and your memory is easily trained. Then your memory, instead of failing you at crucial moments, becomes a valuable asset in your every-day life, such as remembering names.
Mental Strength Exercise in Focus and Memory Concentration
Take a picture and picture; put it on a table and then look at it for a couple of minutes.
Concentrate your attention on this picture, observe every detail; then shut your eyes and see how much you can recall about it.
Think of what the picture represents; whether it is a good subject; whether it looks natural. Think of objects in foreground, middle ground, background; of details of color and form.
Now open your eyes and with intense correct any mistakes made about your mental representation of the picture. Then close eyes again and notice how much more accurate your picture is. Practice until your mental image of the picture matches the one in front of you.
Nature is a Wonderful Instructor
Here’s a little secrete to help with focus and concentration, use Mother Nature as a teacher. There are only a few people who realize that when we get in touch with nature we discover ourselves. That by listening to Her voice, with that curious, inner sense of ours, we learn the oneness of life and wake up to our own latent powers.
Few realize that the simple act of listening and concentrating is our best way to increase our inner power. This is because being in and listening to Nature it brings us into close contact with our Higher Self. This is just the same as our other senses bring us into touch with our course material world of human nature.
The more time we spend in Nature the more developed is this sense will become. Our so called civilization has over developed our external senses at the expense of our inner ones.
Children unconsciously realize the value of concentration—for instance: Watch a child when they a have difficult problem to solve and they get to a sticking point, where they find themselves unable to solve it, even though they have tried their hardest.
They’ll pause, stick their tongue out, keep quite and still, lean on their elbows, apparently listening for something; then you’ll see a sudden “illumination” come and they go on happily and accomplishes the challenge.
A child instinctively, but unconsciously, knows when they need help, they must be quiet, focus and concentrate.
All top achievers in their field know how to use their mental strength power of focus and concentration and owe their personal success to it.
A “consciousness” doctor thinks over the symptoms of his patient, waits, and listens for the inspiration…inner guidance. The one who diagnoses in this way will seldom makes mistakes.
A writer thinks about the plot for her book, holds it in her mind, and then waits, and inspiration and illumination comes.
If you want to be able to solve your difficult problems you must learn to do be consciously unconscious and trust your Inner Guidance. This connection with your Inner Guidance takes mental strength to be in a relaxed focused state.
