Mind Over Matter

To anyone, the words "mind over matter" might just be a saying. Three words. A touch of alliteration. However, to me it means to not just use your brain, but your mind to overcome any obstacles in the way, whether they are physical or mental.
Those who use only their brain, or don't use them at all won't get far in challenging situations. For example, when I play Speed, I can't concentrate and use my mind because I am too caught up in playing quickly, which is why I usually lose. This is usually the most use of mind over (or under) matter for me.
But to many other people, mind over matter can mean using their minds to save possessions, homes, family, or themselves. Thanks to using their minds, people can save what is most precious to them. Athletes, students, gamers, professors and literally everyone in the world need to use mind over matter to succeed with whatever they are doing.
In this way, mind over matter is not just a saying. It is a lifesaver, and that is what it means to me.
