According to the dictionary, a ‘Mind Game’ refers to ‘any game designed to exercise the intellect ‘.
We have heard people referring to someone saying that he/she is playing mind games. While there are lot of negative intonations to the word ‘Mind Game’, I am more intrigued by the abstract variants of situations where mind games manifest into being.
I was seeing ‘Coffee with Anu’ today in Vijay TV where singer Karthik was saying that a lot of process that goes into being a singer or that being a music director is more of a mind game. While there is a creator side, there is also a side where the music director or singer has to satisfy the director. Here the director is the highest creator there and looks at a much more bigger perspective.
I felt it was very profound(at least my interpretation of the aspect of mind games). We all think we are correct because our mind tells and sometimes our intellect establishes that we are correct in our school of thought irrespective of our experience and exposure. But many times we are proved wrong or our interpretations gather no steam towards the finish line. We are either frustrated or elated depending on the outcome.
Beyond that, it is a mind game that teaches you the best lesson and is the best exercise. It trains you FROM WITHIN. Take a moment to let that sink into you, it trains you from within….
