Hello everyone,
It took me a long time to realize that the human brain is divided into the left and right hemisphere….and that some us have been trained in the use of one part of the brain more than the other. I also realize that achieving a balance in the use of both sides is the key to a fulfilled life. I have highlighted the functions of both sides of the brain below….



Left brain functions

• Uses logic
• Detail oriented
• Focuses on facts
• Focus on rule
• Words and language
• Present and past
• Math and science
• Can comprehend
• Focus on knowledge
• Acknowledges
• Order/pattern perception
• Knows object name
• Reality based
• Forms strategies
• Practical
• Safe



Right brain functions

• Uses feeling
• "Big picture" oriented
• Focus on imagination
• Focus on intuition
• Symbols and images
• Present and future
• Philosophy & religion
• Can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
• Focus on believes
• Appreciates
• Spatial perception
• Knows object function
• Fantasy based
• Presents possibilities
• Spontaneous
• Risk taking



Knowing the side of the brain you use MORE can be a good guide when you want to choose a career path or even a spouse.There are two links below...Use the first link to read more about this topic and the 2nd link to take a test if you are NOT sure of your "status"…..For those who think they know…..Which is your dominant side? What is the ratio? is your current "brainpower" pushing you forward in your current career or does it drain you?

I think it's worth talking about. Thanks for your intelligent contributions and do stay inspired!
