The Power of Your Mind.

Our mind is one of the most powerful force but yet we hardly put it to good use, maybe out of fear or failure. However, once you focus your mind and it aligns with your intentions, you can make the impossible become possible.

In the next few minutes, I’ll be talking on the topic “power of your mind” but before doing that let me invite @josepha, @bossj23 and @lovelystar

There are a lot of times, when we say something with our mouth about what we want to do, but if our minds do not agree to it, we remain stuck where we are.

For instance, at the dawn of the new year, you hear people say a lot of new year resolutions, like “I would stop smoking this year” but if there mind doesn’t conform to that statement, you will keep smoking.

In other words, the mind is like the architect of our reality. It doesn’t just react to the world, it bends it to the will of our thoughts. Whatever changes we see in reality, first started from our mind that is why our Holy Bible will say “guard your heart with all diligence” (proverbs 4:23).

So, you should be careful about what you allow into your heart because the mind is power in its purest form. it doesn’t just influence, it also has the power to create. If for a moment our thoughts aligns with our intentions, there is nothing we cannot achieve, no matter the obstacles that comes our way. It will make the impossible becomes possible.

Definitely! A mind that is determined gives you strength to jump through the hurdles you might face. Look at the story of Nelson Mandela, a man who has made up his mind to stop the apartheid government and create a better future for his people.

Although his physical body was imprisoned for 27 years, his mind remained free, continually pushing his vision. That vision in his mind gave him the strength to be alive and that’s why I said when the mind believes in possibilities, it drives success even in worse case scenario.

I remember when I went to a government hospital for checkup, I met a lady who shared with me what brought her to the hospital. She had a big boil around her breast region and went for a check up in a private hospital. The doctor told her that boil was cancerous. The thought of the doctor cutting off her breast, caused her so much anxiety, that this once fat lady slim down in two weeks.

Due to the high charge from the private hospital, her mum brought her to the government hospital to start treatment. They ran another test on her and told her she doesn’t have cancer, that it was just a boil growing there. She was very happy and she began to regain her weight again.

From this short story, you can see that the mind has the power to cause harm to us. It’s like a two edged sword that has the capacity of creating and also causing destruction, that’s why we’ve to guard what enters our mind with all diligence and tend to it like a garden. When you water it with belief, hope and determination, it will flourish but when you starve it and allow all manner of unnecessary thoughts enter your mind, weeds of negativity will germinate, bringing great pains you can ever imagine.
