 Thank the good Lord for the right half of your brain.
That half of your brain is responsible for fitting together the "Rubik's Cube" of life into place, and works best when the other half is asleep. That's because your five senses take in information much faster than you can process it, so you need spend about a third of your life asleep.
The left brain – logical, sequential, deductive reasoning – gathers information then goes to sleep. But the right brain – data integration and pattern recognition – doesn't sleep but works all night, connecting the dots, seeing the pattern and its possibilities. During the night the right brain takes a step back, puts things in perspective and gives you insight. This is why the wise say, "Let me sleep on it," and why things always look better in the morning.
The left brain demands science and data and facts and justice. The right brain seeks relationships and mercy and meaning and God. This is why you are torn between two opinions. Your left brain or "head" tells you one thing while your right brain or "heart" whispers another.
The left brain is about vertical hierarchy, up and down. Control and Dominate.
The right brain is about horizontal relationship, near and far. Communicate and Serve.
Transform, and embrace, the way you think, and you'll transform your life.
