THE POWER OF THE MIND

We have all had our low moments.Times when we felt so discouraged that we wanted to quit whatever it is we were pursuing.Times when we felt so bad about ourselves,when we never felt good enough or pretty enough and when everyone else’s life seemed better than ours.It could have been for many different reasons but one thing is certain,it all started as a thought.

That is true.All these feelings and emotions usually start from one little thought that leads to another then another.Most of the time,the thought is usually a question,’why’.Oftentimes we have asked ourselves why we were not succeeding,why we were betrayed,why we were not noticed,why bad things happened to us;why this,why that.That little three letter question seems to drain more than it seems to.It leads to self-pity,then loss of self-confidence,then hopelessness,stress, depression and even suicidal death.

Why should you ask yourself ‘why’ if you can make a difference?Why compare yourself to people yet you are an original,the only you there will ever be?Why wish things could get better when you can actually do something?Why want a perfect body when we all have our flaws?Why get depressed over things you were not supposed to think about in the first place?Why try to control things you have no control over?

I know this may sound ridiculous or even old-fashioned but I used to be the ‘why me’ kind of person until I learnt to let go and let God.Instead of asking ‘why me’, I am learning to be the best of me I can be and make a difference.Self-pity drains, overthinking and worrying too much does not solve anything and ‘why me’ questions bring hopelessness.

Instead of the negative mindset of trying to outdo others,why not embrace the positive one and work on being the best version of yourself?Instead of crying and complaining ‘why me’,look at yourself in the mirror,smile and ask yourself ‘why not me’.Why not be the change you want to see?

The mind is powerful,take good care of it.Do not allow people’s negative comments about you trigger a negative mindset.Do not let people limit who you can be,see yourself a victor because that is who you really are!Make sure your worst enemy doesn’t live between your ears!
