Mind! The greatest resource for your success.

How many times have you anticipated something bad to happen and it did. You might not like the bad memories flooding your mind right now, so instead how many times have you rehearsed good outcomes and you achieved it. That is about 90% of the time. Some bad breaks are inevitable but well you still gain a lesson or two from them. From this analysis, you see that man is his number one resource, well to be specific your mind is. So many people might not agree with this statement but you are where you are right now ( financially, carrier, relationship etc) because of your mind, what you think about. Our minds slowly make our circumstances. I like how James Allen puts it in his book As a man thinketh ” Men imagine that thought can be kept secret, but it cannot. It rapidly crystallizes into a habit and habit solidifies into circumstances”. Basically, you are what you think.

The first and greatest victory in achieving anything is in your mind. Make it a priority to constantly think about what you are thinking about. Take time to analyze your thought patterns maybe just maybe, the reason why you continuously hit dead ends is the way you think. Are your thoughts empowering/disempowering your vision and goals? A man’s mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild. It’s your land you decide what you want to do with it.

When asked to list why one is not where they want to be, these are the common answers lack of money, time, support equipment the list is endless. What is being described here is resources, lack of resources is the main cause of my failure. One of my greatest mentor Tony Robbins says, resources aren’t really the issue. The lack of resourcefulness is the major cause of failure in people’s lives. Resourcefulness is cultivated in one’s mind that is why your mind is the major resource for your success. Your thoughts and imagination play a role in determining whether or not you will fail.

How is your mental state? green/ dried up.

I don’t know about you but from my experience disempowering/ negative thoughts are more likely to bombard your mind with little or no effort from you. That is why you need to constantly think about what you are thinking about. You have to be aggressive when it comes to your thought life otherwise your garden will be filled with weeds. Be intentional about your thought life. Intentionally plant seeds in your mind that lead to productivity. A lot of people live with wondering and wandering minds. A wondering mind often leads to worry and a wandering mind leads to unproductivity. You have to take control of your thoughts for you to live a productive and fruitful life. If you invest and grow in the area of your mind, you increase the probability of attaining your goals.

Take time this week to carefully analyze your thought pattern. You can journal it down for effectiveness. If you are constantly having disempowering thoughts, purposefully plant empowering thoughts in your mind. When you add focus and feelings, thoughts become a powerful resource for your success.
