Inspirational Living: Life Lessons For Success & Happiness

Listen to episode 1109 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Art of Listening & Remembering. Adapted from “Memory: How to Develop, Train, and Use It” by William Walker Atkinson.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Before the memory can be stored with sight impressions — before the mind can recollect or remember such impressions — the eye must be used under the direction of our attention. We think that we see things when we look at them, but in reality we see but few things, in the sense of registering clear and distinct impressions of them upon the tablets of our conscious mind. We look at them rather than see them. In other words, we see without truly seeing. The way to train the mind to receive clear sight-impressions, and therefore to retain them in the memory is simply to concentrate the will and attention upon objects of sight, endeavoring to see them plainly and distinctly, and then to practice recalling the details of the object some time afterward. ---------------------
