The right brain is popularly associated with intuitive processes such as aesthetic or generally creative abilities.^[6][7][8]Some scientists have contended that intuition is associated with innovation in scientific discovery.^[9]

Mind Power - The Power of Thoughts

Be careful of what you thinkThe Power of Thoughts Is a Creative PowerMind power is one of the strongest and most useful powers you possess.This power consists of your thoughts.The thoughts that pass through your mind are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Your predominant thoughts influence your behavior and attitude and control your actions and reactions. As your thoughts are, so is your life.Thoughts are like a video that plays on the screen of your mind. What you play there, determines the kind of life you live and the experiences you meet. To make changes in your life, you have to play a different video, one that you like more.You can train and strengthen this power. You can use it to make changes in your life, and also to influence other people's minds.If you plant seeds, water them, and give them fertilizers, they will grow into healthy and strong plants.Thoughts, like seeds, have a natural tendency to grow and manifest in your life, if you feed them with attention, interest and enthusiasm.Your thoughts pass from your conscious mind to your subconscious mind, which in turn, influences your actions in accordance with these thoughts. Your thoughts also pass to other minds, and consequently, people who are in a position to help you, might offer you their help, sometimes, without even knowing why.This might some strange and unbelievable. You don't have to accept these words, but if you analyze the kind of thoughts you think, and the kind of life you live, you will discover interestings things about the mind.The power of your mind is part of the creative power of the Universe, which means that your thoughts work together with it. You are a manifestation of the Universal mind.When you repeat the same thought over and again, in one way or another, this mighty power helps you make your thoughts come true.

If I am honest, I have to say that I have always somewhat struggled with the idea of Intuition v. Mind Power. What is the line. 

It think i have always been a more 'sensitive person'. Intuitive, maybe? I seem mostly aware of others moods and they impact me. 

Certainly my mother, and to some degree my partner; are believers in Mind Power, or as my mother often called it when I was growing up "manifest destiny". The concept that "if you believe, you will achieve". 

Being realists of course, both mom and Bull (partner) believe that Mind Power is not exclusive to positive. They believe that just as you can think up resolutions, you can think up disasters. Focus your attention on something, and likely what will result is, the result. The one you've been considering as the likely outcome, most often than not. 

"The more I think about it, the bigger it gets."

However, the question that has always plagued me is this;
"What is the difference between trusting your gut or having instinct, and creating a future with the power of your mind?"

I can recall at least 3 scenarios in recent times, where I have been quite sure of what the outcome would be... Intuition? or Mind Power? 

What came first, the chicken OR the egg?
