I Didn’t Know I Could Do That
You’ve probably heard this old joke before:
A man goes to his doctor after being treated for a broken hand. “Tell me, Doc, will I be able to play the violin?”
The doctor examines the man’s hand. “Yes, I think so.”
Have you ever had the desire to do something like play the piano, but been convinced you lacked the natural ability? That is latent ability—talents or skills you have within your subconscious but don’t express in your normal life. We all possess such abilities, but most of us never discover them. The fragmentation of our brains and the endless stresses of daily life keep them hidden away.
One of the wonderful rewards of Brain Integration is that you will begin to discover your latent abilities. If you are at retirement age or beyond, this is especially gratifying. After all, you are at the age where old dogs aren’t supposed to learn new tricks. Yet only by continually growing and learning do you keep brain and body young. How great, then, to find that you can play the violin, so to speak!
Each human brain contains the potential for hundreds of skills and talents, from speaking Italian to cooking like a chef in the finest Paris restaurant. What if you could tap into some of your hidden talents? What if you could, at age sixty or seventy, learn to read music and sing with a choir, or take up repairing and restoring classic motorcycles? How much delight would that bring to your life? Whatever you choose, make sure that it is something truly gratifying and fulfilling to you. Take the word can’t out of your vocabulary. Remember that your brain has neuroplasticity, the ability to create neural connections in response to new experience. Discovering your latent abilities is a fantastic wav to stimulate your brain to adapt and improve through the years.
