How To Prepare Your Mind For Greatness!

​

I recommend people to start reading Shakespeare. I say this because Shakespeare is what I call a "complete body of work." Shakespeare has been attributed to writing at least 37 plays during his lifetime. Each one can be considered a masterpiece. Let's take a look at Hamlet for example. Hamlet is the longest of Shakespeare's plays taking roughly 3.5 hours to act out on stage. It is epic and had Shakespeare completed just this one play he would be considered a genius. However, in addition to Hamlet he did at least 36 other plays. By reading Hamlet or other plays by Shakespeare I feel you are expanding your mind making way for greater things to happen in your own life. Think about it. In today's microwave world of wanting everything right here and now you are psychologically (moreover subconsciously) programming your mind for the "instant gratification." Hence, when a lengthy project comes up (as most projects of value are) you balk at the very thought of it. You are in essence shrinking your brains capacity when you should be expanding it.  This is where Shakespeare comes in. Here is an individual who completed an epic body of work during his lifetime. Once you grasp the brevity and the "completeness" as I like to call it just think of the amazing things you can accomplish in your own life. I honestly think that this is why Shakespeare is so relevant today, well that and the fact that his body of work is very good. There are of course other complete works as I call them such as the Harry Potter novels and by all means the Bible, which some say Shakespeare may have had a part in writing. I don't know about that but reading Shakespeare is a great place to start, to expand your mind and get it conditioned for completing great things.
