SIGNIFICANCE LIES WITHIN THE MIND

WORK ON YOUR MIND

“Work on your mind and the mind shall work for you”

Washingtone Oduor

There can never be any greater resource that lies within us like the two spheres lying comfortably under the scull. This is the most powerful weapon that can submerge us to our hurt desires. This is the master key to our success and will only land you there when you learn how to control all that goes in and all that comes out. If you wish to change your life you better do it immediately and flamboyantly and that change begins with the change of our mentality, about everything that happens to us is a decision that you have to make according to the resent studies a have done it is evidently clear that we become what we think of ourselves, all am trying to say is that the result we get in our external world is a reflection of our inner world. That means we are all guided by our thoughts which is a representation of our internal communication. We can only alter   our external representation by changing the state of our internal communication. I have grown to believe that every human being is designed for accomplishment and we are engineered for our success or we are endowed with the seed of greatness which makes us vulnerable and capable of great achievement. These seed of greatness is our mind and can only be exploited through its cultivation. An average man’s mind runs a total of 60,000 thoughts in a day that includes thousands of decision we make in a day. This has brought has brought me to the realization that decisions actually  determines the actions we take and the direction we take together with the destination which shall be the end result and by so decision shape our destiny.

I view our mind as the battle field where, the major conflicts happen, explosion of hard choices and tough decision take place in our mind, therefore it would be important for us to take the initiative to learn to control our thoughts. Believe you me when I tell you that the life you are living today at this moment is a result of our making, it’s a product of our thinking for we only become the visible of the invisible world. Get it right from me that your life is nothing more than a creation of your own imagination. Wiston Churchil once said “we become what we think of ourselves.” I want you to take a few minutes and examine the kind of life that you have had to live is it not your own making. I bet it is and that affirms who we are and what we do profoundly emanates from our thoughts. This call for us to learn to make the right diligent decisive decision that will shape who we are and we can only do that by taking charge of our mind. When I was in high school I used to walk to school .every morning I had to cover six kilometer for me to get to school. on my way I passed along a farm that was ever green and it really cough my eyes to some extend I would stand and stare at the beautiful farm, I kept on asking myself what does the owner do to maintain the fresh vegetables and the green grass for the cows and this was evident even during the dry seasons. This gave me an appetite of wanting to become a farm one day in my life and it also pushed me to make a decision on school to go for agriculture studies as a subject of my choice than the preferred business studies. Well one morning .as I was walking to school. I was lucky enough to get lift from a tractor from that farm that went round every morning selling milk to the families and some small scale retailers driving the tractor was an old man with a checked coat and was carried behind the carrier and with me were some students from the neighboring school and a middle aged young man dressed in a kaki trouser, white dust coat and white gumboots, he was the man doing the sells. Curiosity got the better side of me and I began to shoot question from all angles. Innocently I asked. How do you manage to produce so much milk that merely feeds the majority in my village? The man look at me for a few minutes amazed at my question while I was still contemplating where that was the right thing to do or I should have never ask the question. Slowly I began to shay away but fortunately after a few moments of silence the man replayed back smiling “young man this is just the effort and fruits of our labor. That made me confused and I exclaimed back “I don’t understand!” He looked at me held my shoulder as if he was pissed off and broke his voice. “All that you see are fruits of commitment, consistency, persistence determination and hard work. Look at those men pointing at the farm where we were now passing by. Those men are the reason for our massive production of milk and they work for my father. They are paid so well so they work tirelessly day and night to ensure that the dairy cows are well fed and that the fields are always green with nippier grass for the animals.” As If I was not satisfied I retaliated in the middle of his conversation, “actually my main concern was how do you manage to keep your farm green all through the year? Within a twinkle of an eye he threw back another question to me “If I gave you land and you were to make good use of it what would you do?” Well this was getting interesting since now I  stood a chance to prove to  him that I was  taking in some lessons on agriculture. Before I could answer we stopped at a shop where he dropped some milk cans before we proceeded. This gave me some time to think of the best answer that would not disappoint him. I took a few minutes then I asked him “can I now give you my answer? Yes! He replied. if you gave me land to make use of it I would ensure that it is properly maintained, well cultivated, try to keep of the weeds so that they do not compete for nutrients with my crops. I would also ensure that it’s well protected and I would do that by fencing nicely and put a gate to it.” As if he was not satisfied by my answer he questioned “and what else would you do to ensure the yields are productively amazing?” “ooooh that,” I murmured then continued, “definitely I would use manure to fertilize the crops and  ensure that I have enough water for irrigation and to some extent I would use mulching to prevent rapid evaporation and by that  my produce will not be affected.” Suddenly he bust out loudly and that left me mesmerized, as I stood glued on the spot wondering what was funny with my answer and finally his wards from his mouth were friendly to my ears and the wards were, “young man I can see you agriculture teacher has done the work so well. That is just what we do consistently with commitment and with great determination let’s just say that we work very hard for the land and the land works for us.”  I was a little disturbed by the answer and since I had come to my destination I had no other option than to alight looking at him smiling and he waved at me and shouted as they drove away   apply that in your life. That day I went to class with lots of question in mind how do I use that in my life? Little did I now that that statement would make sense to me some years to come in my life and that’s what I would wish to share with you. Take for instance the brain to be your farming land and you want it to produce the desired results what would you do. Well the answer is simple do the same thing that a farmer would do to increase his yields, only that this time round the mind is the point of focus. If we are to live a creative rich satisfying, enriching, fulfilling and full vital power life. We have to put into consideration working to nourish our mind by feeding it with the right materials that will help us get the result we desire. Some of these things that we need to look into are just to mention them for I will speak more about each of the in the next posting.

Stay positive always and have the right attitude

For us to be able to make the right decisions we must work tirelessly every single day with enthusiasm to feed our minds with positive empowering inspiring articles that will help us shape who we are what we do and what we become.

WALKED OUT OF PRISON

WALKED OUT OF PRISON

“We are all here for some special reason stop being a prisoner of your past

And become the architect of your future.”

Robin Sharma

My past life experience has been very devastating, frustrating and so depressing for I was a prisoner of my own making. I was a victim of negativity and now I had lost all the hope, I had lost my sight and there was no light and the end of my tunnel, I had no mission and no vision. I was a prisoner for letting people poke a finger at me and tell me I was not good enough to amount to anything, that I could never archive anything. My life was controlled by people’s opinion. I let them make me believe that it was impossible for me to be successful. I did not program my life and so they programmed my life.

 I was a prisoner of excuses for I come up with all the excuses in the world, I was a prisoner of blaming for I blamed everything and everybody for my failures, i was a prisoner of lamentation for I cried about anything and this actually stopped me from becoming a better person this imprisonment limited me from taking the actions. Actually my life was so miserable.so one day  my dear friends I got tired of all this and I decided that I could never leave my entire life being a prisoner so I began asking myself questions and these are the questions I asked.

.

What do I need to do to turn my life around?

What are my abilities and possibilities?

What do I want to focus on in my life?

What makes me happy when I work on it?

What areas do I need to change?

How can I take control of my life?

What are my strengths?

What do I really want for myself?

The more I asked this question the more I become stronger for I now begun focusing in the solutions and not the problems that I was facing in life. I embraced these questions with positivity that I now was turbo charged towards life. This was actually the time I realized that I had lucked everything in life just because I had constantly and consistently thought myself in terms of luck therefore my dear friend I had conditioned myself in terms of luck. Having realized this, I took the initiative of taking responsibility of my action. It actually made me think of taking control of my thoughts for my thoughts lead me to decision making which then led me to actions and the actions I took gave some result. ladies and gentlemen if we really want to take control of our life we must take control of our consistent thoughts and actions.

Everybody in this world can barely achieve anything for we have within us some special power that can jumpstart us to FULFIMENT only if we can tap into our greatness ant that calls for you and me to get started where we are with whatever that is at our disposal. We all can bounce back from adversity and our major setbacks. We all can be victors in all that we do. We all are capable of dreaming big for it is possible if we believe in ourselves and have faith hope and confidence. Am not trying to say that life is going to be easy it’s going to hard but always remember the harder the battle the sweeter the victory. Life is going to push us against the wall but let’s not quit. It’s never going to be over until you get what you desire.

We can take control of our life by learning to make the right decisions and taking the necessary action to its realization. However we can only make the right decision by asking the right questions that will make us focus in the solutions and not the problems, challenges, obstacles and difficulties that we are facing in life. And that’s the best way which we can effect significant change in our life. So what are you going to do now? What questions do you need to ask now to shape your destiny?

A time has come for you and me to walk out of the prison

"I WAS KIDNAPPED"

“I WAS KIDNAPPED”

 I was once kidnapped and kept in a dark room for a very long time that I could no longer recognize who i really was. I lost my purpose and direction in life; I became miserable and full of frustration. I definitely had lost truck, for my faith was gone, my believe was gone, my hope was gone, my enthusiasm was gone, my courage had walked away from me, I become hopeless, useless and worthless. I become resentful and so desperate that I felt like taking my life and just go and never to return back again into this world. Ladies and gentlemen I was kidnapped by fear. That is falls evidence appearing real; I had made it real in my mind. I had accepted defeat, I had believed that I could never mount to something better or greater, I felt that I was not loved but all that was a false illusion that I had created in my own imagination. My health deprived. I was sailing in a shackle of doom voyage that was destined for turmoil of depression, just because I let fear take control over my life. Fear is the most disintegrating and most destructive element of the human personality. It paralyzed who I was, it tormented my life. It had instilled worry and self-doubt in me.

One day ladies and gentlemen, one day I decided to change all that, I decided never again to live in desperation and humiliation of my past and I decided to be liberated by cutting of the little man inside of me. I chose to propel my life to a better future by just making the right decision that I was better that the norm. I told myself enough of this negativity and it was time to raise my standards and illuminate my life. It was actually the time for me to eliminate the limiting belief in me and I replaced all of them with positive beliefs that brought back my hope faith and confidence. I was back again on my foot with vitality and courage ready to be resourceful and capitalize on the greatness in me. I become more ambitious and religious for I play down my problems and prayed them up to God.

It was never easy to change, but I struggled my way through it until I become the person that has written this message to help you get yourself back into the truck once again, for we all can overcome our setbacks. If I was able to do it, you too can make it and even do much better. I definitely wish to share with you what I exactly did to turn my life around and believe you me if you put all this fundamentals into practice you will be amazed at how great you can be in realizing your true potential. I first begun by making deliberate determined decisive decision that I needed to be better than who I was and that I was never to settle for anything less than what I wanted in life (Deciding certainly what you want in life). Secondly I worked very hard day and night to find out my vision for men with no vision will always perish. This was achieved through asking me what exactly I really wanted in life. I wrote down all the things I wanted to attain and made sure they were SMART. I then settled for the top five in my list. This worked as my goals and the map that I would use to sail to my new destinations which was success land. My goals provided me with direction and fueled my passion potently. Having had may goals, I then broke them down into years then in two months and the into weeks and then into days and without hesitation I was on my way to success working day and night with commitment and determination. It has never been a walk through, along the way I have always found challenges and obstacle but I chose to persist and endure the pain for I had realized that with no pain there was no gain and that pain will last for a day, a week a month or even for years and eventually subsidize, but if I were to give up I would never actualize my dreams.

Thirdly I made it my own personal obligation to ever continue improving who I was physically and mentality. In my physical dimension I worked on my fitness, watched what I was eating and ensured that i only eat what lead to the development and growth of my health. I told myself that for me to achieve my goals I was to have a healthy body and that my health was my responsibility. To improve on my mental growth I begun feeding it with positive materials that would help me grow as a person for I understood that we only become of what we thought of ourselves and so did I make it my responsibility to feed my mind with positive materials. I began reading motivational books and inspirational books. I listened to audios of motivation. I took the initiative of changing my circles of friends since there is a proverb that says you become like the minds you surround yourself with. I knew I was to become more I had to do more to generate new friends who helped shape my feature. All this are practices that I did consistently without giving up to negative forces. I went to the extra mile of watching the kind of wards I used for I truly belief that wards determine our physiological state, that is they control our feelings and the actions we take in life.

Finally dear friends I found happiness in the power of prayer and things opened up when I stared praying in a different way by thanking God for everything that I had achieved in advance and believe you me things begun to change slowly. Giving back to the community is another way of appreciating what God has blessed you with. This brought enormous amounts of joy in me. It energized my actions. It’s something I love doing and it’s the reason behind this blog site that  I use it to post empowering materials that you can use to your better good so that you too could make right decisions to shape your future and at the same time take massive actions towards realization of your dreams. You will make it if you believe it and make it happen. There is greatness in you, take charge and take control of your feature and do not let fear KIDNAP YOU and bring you down its just but an illusion that can be change and you have the power to change.
