I woke up this morning extremely hungry so forgive me if I'm not too coherent. I'm not one of those super people who can function on an empty stomach....
First, I'd like to recommend Muyiwa Ademola's radio program, its a program that I'd encourage everyone to listen to, I just got on that train myself and so far its made my mornings infinitely more inspiring leading to a more productive day.
I know a young lady who is no doubt good looking but in my opinion she's not the tastiest looking cookie in the jar. However, there is no way you can convince her that there is anyone more beautiful, if you tell her your girlfriend is pretty, she'll be quick to assure you that she's prettier. Tell her about a cute girl you saw, she'll tell you she's cuter.
I used to just roll my eyes and release a deep sigh whenever she would go and on about how gorgeous she was but I realize that that was her reality and it did work for her. There is an instance I will never forget, we were all dressed up to go out one day and by all standards she was the worst dressed, I can't even begin to go into how bad .... On a scale of one to ten, I'd give it a minus three
So we arrived at our destination, and as usual I found the darkest corner, folded my arms to "observe". Before my very eyes I saw guy after guy after guy walk up to this girl and those that didn't have the spine to do so all had eyes on her... What?!
Years later it dawned on me that what your mind believes, becomes the reality. It might take a minute but it will eventually translate to what can be seen by everyone. Simply because she was convinced then there was a manifestation.
I've always wondered why anytime I made a specific hairstyle or decided to buy a new gadget, I'd start seeing it everywhere by the dozens. Some weeks ago, there was a wedding in my old neighborhood and the "aso ebi" was purple and suddenly it appeared everyone I saw that day was wearing purple, I thought it was just me till my friend commented on it.
The mind is an extremely powerful tool, use it. The Good book says ".... transform yourself by the renewing of you mind..." Decide what you want as your reality and watch it happen!
The mind is everything, what you think you become" - Buddha
Start convincing yourself that you are successful, confident, good looking, smart... And it will manifest!
Have yourselves a blessed weekend!
This post reminded me of a discussion i had wt my mum yesterday morning. we were talking about how a certain telecoms coy employs babes based on physical assessment majorly. I complained about how i had applied about twice but never got called even for once, she then asked me 'Do U honestly think u are not good-looking?'. i kept quiet and she said to me - 'if what u said about the assessment is true, then whoever is in charge needs glasses'...lol
ReplyDeleteAnyways, overtime i have learnt that the mind is a very powerful tool, hence the need to be careful what we feed it. I also recall being in some funny situations where it feels like I 'thought something to life' (U know when u dwell on something so much that it begins to manifest in reality?) yeah, that's the mind at work.
