POWER OF THE MIND

Hello friends 🙂🙂.I trust we are doing very well.It's Monday again and of course another edition of Inkspiration Monday,where we inspire you with motivating write-ups.We basically create inspiration with the power of the ink.
Today's series is titled; POWER OF THE MIND,by Deborah Benjamin.Also note that we will be having new writers on InkInspires soon, who will also under the umbrella of InkInspires shape our world with powerful write ups.
A lot of times we fail at something,try again like they advice but still fail.You then begin to wonder if you should just give up on that thing and move on, since it seems you are not made for it😁
Is this thought true,if yes, how true is it that failure reflects that you should turn to other shores of possibility?
Let's find out below,shall we?🙂🙂

              POWER OF THE MIND
"The only locked doors are the ones in your mind,all doors are open,all you have to do is walk through"
This was said by Prince EA in one of his spoken words videos that talked about the mind.Scientifically,the mind is a part of the  body that enables humans to be aware of their world,to feel,to think;a faculty of consciousness and thoughts
However, the psychological definition is very related to the above defined.The mind is the organ of the body that guides actions,initiate feelings and thoughts.
Whatever is going on in the mind will shape how you think, feel and act.This is why it is important for us to talk about it.It is the one thing that defines living creatures.Animals also have a mind of their own.However,their physical and biological characteristics determine the content of their own mind and differentiates it from humans'.
Our mind is like a cooler,the temperature of whatever you put in will determine its hotness or coldness.A lot of times we feel limited or powerless towards a particular thing, task or goal.This is not to say that weaknesses do not exist,but the biggest and commonest weaknesses are ones that the mind, due to what goes on around a person,create and form.
In the definition of the mind,I mentioned that mind is the faculty of consciousness or thoughts, which for one are formed by what we see, what we hear,where we go and the people we move with.This is very similar to stereotypes.The mind is usually swift to sticking to single thoughts and stories.It is usually lazy to take in diverse ideas and challenge single ones.This is why the success of a lot of people is usually delayed or even destroyed.
Without wasting much of our time,I want us to know that we are a result of what goes on in our mind,and one thing we don't know is that we have the power to choose what is in our minds.No two persons share the same minds,but we are usually used to the lazy life of following conventions, accepting other people's thoughts and convictions without planning and creating ours.So their failure becomes yours,their success becomes yours,their limitations seem like yours and you eventually don't get to Live your own life, the one that has been designed for just you,you live other people's.
There was a boy who heard from one of his friends that the palace gate is always locked.Every other person believed this,so he did too.A time then came that he had a brilliant idea that could turn the village around for good.He went to the gate which of course seemed locked,the boy waited there hoping someone would come out that he could talk to.For days nobody did.So for many days,in the scorching sun,heavy rain,this boy waited outside the palace gate.One day,a palace guard eventually strolled to the gate and saw the boy looking very tired,he obviously had waited for long.The guard asked what he wanted Without opening the gate and the boy shared his mission,the palace guard looking hopeful asked him to come in.The boy without trying told the guard that it was locked.The guard told him to open,he did and he entered.

Just take a look at how what a person's mind thought shaped the way he percieved something.It is the same way in reality.Most times the only limitation exists in our minds.What do you need to get rid of today?
Upon what thoughts and convictions have you based your life on?
How many opportunities have you lost because of the limit of your mind?
Do away with the junks today and structure your own mind. Remember that it determines every other thing.

"I am a product of my choices"-Dayo Nigeria

What is your choice?Maximize the power of the mind and enjoy freedom
Don't forget  that this doesn't mean you won't fail,just remember that your mind also determines your attitude to the failure.
Get inspired!!!
