"The mind is the most powerful tool that humans possess" - Mansun Padhi.
If this is so then there is a need to protect the Mind.
The Bible tells us in Proverbs 4: 23
" Guard your heart (mind) with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life"
The formation of existence is accomplished by the mind through which man uses to navigate the issues of life. The world we exist differentiates an individual by the concept of their mindset and that was what distinguished the five wise Virgins from the 5 foolish virgins. They willed the power of their mind in doing the necessary things ahead before the arrival of the bridegroom. The 5 wise Virgins having thought ahead of what was expected of them, prepared and got extra oils peradventure they run out of the oil they had. This gave them an edge in planning ahead to deal with the reality of some unseen situations beyond their control.
We propel the momentum of our lives by the actions or results of our thoughts.
The mind can either be utilized to enable us to accomplish achievements or it can take us to the profundities of disappointment. You should figure out how to utilize your mind to its ideal level.
"if you want to live life on a new level, the mind is the key to success!".
“The mind is a powerful force. It can enslave us or empower us. It can plunge us into the depths of misery or take us to the heights of ecstasy. Learn to use the power wisely.”-David Cuschieri
Arguments, disbelief's, incorrigible facts, hypothesis and theories presented by scientists, psychologists, theologians or any acknowledged man is ruled by the power of their minds. They propose, defend or oppose a statement in the account of the conviction of their minds.
Thomas Edison, the man who invented the 'bulb', might not be so good in physics and mechanics studies, yet he must have programmed his mind in the actualization of generating light through the bulb. So this tells us that It all lies with the mind.
Become the master of your mind or it will control you. What you think of is what you will bring into your life, so you should consider yourself to be who you need to turn into. Consider successful achievements and go certainly towards your dreams and you will realize that you have what it takes.
Psychologically, research has proven the mind is categorized into two;
The conscious mind- This is where we become rational and analytical in thoughts. For example, you want to become successful, healthy and living a good lifestyle. It almost entails the positive thoughts which we desire for.
The subconscious mind- This is like making reality unattainable. The thinking of 'all will be well' when our desire does not correspond with the inner state.
The conscious mind and subconscious mind will contradict because their mechanism roles are different. Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and support with redundancy and feeling will one day turn into a reality.
Health is the state where we feel good, physically and psychologically. And feeling good depends on how our minds manage to face life and the circumstances that it offers us in the most effective way. From our mind, we have the ability to generate comfort or discomfort, although we are not aware that we are doing it.
"To attain a reproductive outcome then you must plant a positive impact." If you don't like what you're producing, then change your planting. You must renew your mind daily by scrutinizing what you think and how you think.
Note: Your thoughts process WHAT you think and your thoughts pattern HOW you think.
To Know the importance of the mind, the points below will answer the questions of how you power or will your mind positively:
1. What thought must you accept:
"Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."- Philippians 4:8
Many times we allow our minds to wander around. If you want to power your thoughts positively, you must focus on your mind. The mind wanders but I have learnt that you have the power of what resides in your mind. Just because a thought came to you does not mean you have to hold the thought captive.
2. Don't harbour bad thought:-
Bad thoughts are poisonous to your potential. Bad thought must be uprooted and detached from your mind.
"And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man."-Mark 7:20
You must dispose of the old mindset if you want to live the life of an overcomer. The powerful thing about the mind is, no idea has the authorization to remain without you allowing it. Your mind is the result of what you have permitted
3. Imbibe positive thought:-
Positive thoughts are inspired thoughts that stirs our potentials. Positive thoughts are planted by goals, for this reason, you need to program your minds. We can reprogram our mind by doing away with bad thoughts and planting positive thoughts like what the Bibles says in Philippians 4:8 that I mentioned on my first point. This can be done gradually by changing your beliefs. Believing in bad things will ensure you to think negatively, so imbibe positive thoughts!
4. Renewing of your mind:-
As a thoughtful person, I realized that in my personal life, the key to unlocking the power of my mind was to renew my mind.
The bible tells us in Romans 12:2 " And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
We are good at maintaining material and possessions but we fail miserably in maintaining our minds. Whatever lacks maintenance will inevitably malfunction. Let's make it a duty to renew the mind. As powerful as the mind is, it can become fragile in producing positive feeds.
“The mind is everything. What you think, you become.”
Nevertheless, let us make it our responsibility to be accountable for our minds. If you produce good thoughts, you will be accountable for the positive outcomes vice versa.
“Your mind is your greatest power. use it well.”
