We live in a fast lane world where everything
is going at the speed of light. No one has the time anymore to idle
about or waste. We are all running helter skelter trying to meet up
goals,dreams,ambitions we have set for ourselves. In as much as we
try to meet up we seem to be falling back and situations for the most
part get out of hands! How many of us can count the number of times we
thought we almost got it and then suddenly...BAM, everything crumbled!
We are back to square one! This is the rhythm that has set in,in our world today and many are living with an I almost got it or a one day i will attitude! Attitude!
Dats what am think about; a Wise Man I know,love and esteem once said
'your response to the circumstances in your life are more important than
the circumstances themselves' Situations and circumstances are
inevitable he said but our response and attitude towards the situation
is a choice we can and must make! There is a saying that goes 'two
wrongs can't make a right' negative response to negative situation
equals negative outcome, no more no less. We are the masters of our
own destinies and we have received from God this wonderful apparatus
called the mind with limitless abilities. the attitude of the mind is important because where the mind goes the man follows. Attitude is our response,thought pattern built as a result of the knowledge we possess of ourselves and our environment. What
we perceive and are conscious of inevitably become our experience in
life! Take a moment and reflect, where you are in life right now, the
people you know, you once thought and accomodated them, as such the have
become your present reality. What are you thinking about now with
regards to the situation you are facing? Are you focusing on how bad
things are,how helpless you are,how unfortunate you are,how the bank is
going to come on you,how your family hates you... We have
unfortunately, shifted the responsibility of making choices in our lives
on others, some of us to parents,
spouses,siblings,teachers,doctors,employers,pastors etc we want others
to carry the responsibility of choosing so we can apportion blames later
on when things go wrong. But the opposite is true as well,have you
ever heard of 'as a man thinketh in his heart,so is he?' The predominant
thoughts of our minds are the experiences of our lives in time. The
content of our minds will inevitably flow out as experiences in our
lives. What are thinking about because like a Wise Woman I know once
said 'you need to catch yourself thinking, and think about the things
you are thinking' The human mind has a natural inclination towards
evil and will first accept as true the negative, it is up to us to train
our minds to think good, acceptable and perfect thoughts! The
prosperity of the mind is one of the most powerful forms of prosperity,
not material prosperity. Feed your mind with,inspired
books,Faith filled literature, watch inspiring movies or videos,visit
and associate with friends of like mind,study the lives of those you
admire, take steps towards becoming what you seen but it first of all
starts with what you are thinking... You think like a mediocre person, you will live like one Think like a grasshopper, u will eat the leaves Think poor, u live poor! I do not permit people,temporal situations and circumstances determine who
I am. I cannot make life lasting decisions based on temporal occurrences.its not because I do not have money in my pocket now that I
say I am a poor person. Attitude!!
"I may not be where I want to be but at least am not where I used to be"! Dr Shawn Smith
