Is Your Mind Is Like A Fire Hydrant?

By Mark Flournoy | April 26, 2008

Today it was a blazing hot in Los Angeles. This morning when I arrived at Starbucks, I saw water shooting out of a fire hydrant and flooding into the street.

2 hours later, as I was leaving, the water was still bursting out of the fire hydrant.

I stopped a local water and power repair man to ask what was going on. He said there was 9 miles of water pipe that had to be cleaned. So they were running disinfectant through the pipes.

I asked why it took 2 hours. What he said next really surprised me. He said that to make sure that all 9 miles of pipe is clean he had to flood the pipes with about 2 MILLION gallons of water. WOW!

It got me to thinking about the tons of thoughts flowing through our minds. In fact, Dr. Deepak Chopra, author of Quantum Healing and other books, said We have between 60,000 and 80,000 thoughts per day. If it takes 2 million gallons of water to clean out just 9 miles of simple pipe then what does it take to disinfect our minds and free ourselves from the negative thoughts that create fear, sadness and frustration?

Now, if those pipes aren’t cleaned then they get clogged, slowdown and even stop working. It’s the same for your brain. This is why the Mental Mastery Videos were created. To clear your mind. Well, it was a blazing hot 92% so I enjoyed the light mist of water created from that fire hydrant flood.

But I left thinking… I’d better clear out my mind
