The Power That Lies Within The Mind
The extreme creative power of the mind is without question. However, many people are not aware of this power, while many others are scared of the power itself. You will be surprised to know that the only thing that is limiting both your advancement and your physical strength is your mind. If only you can allow your mind to conceive it, then the fulfilment is almost certain.
Inside any seed is the ability to produce multiple fruits but it will only be so if it is planted. In the same way, as much as your mind has the limitless ability to conceive ideas, your actions must agree with the mind in order for the result to be delivered. Many of the great achievements in almost all fields of human endeavour at this present moment began from the mind but it did not end there.
If you conceive an idea and go back to sleep, the results will not come because as potent as ideas may be, they will need actions for them to be realized. Most times, what tends to limit people from accessing the mind's creative ability is fear. This may come as fear of failure or may even come as simply fear of the unknown. When fear sets in, actions will be deterred and when there is no action, then success may just be a mirage.
Before the fear of "trying and failing" sets in, just shift your mind to the fact that "what if you try and succeed?". With this, the motivation needed to spur you to action will be delivered into your mind. People's weakest point is also their strongest point but it all depends on how and what they are able to convince their mind. No wonder this popular quote says that:
The mind is the birth place of both fear and courage
Another popular quote also has it that:
Our greatest fear is not that our minds are inadequate but that our minds are too powerful beyond measure.
If you believe that you are unable to achieve something, your entire being will agree with your mind and you will find yourself not performing any action that will lead you to achieving that thing. However, if you believe that you are well able to achieve something, an unusual ability will be pumped up within you from your mind and the next step is to take actions towards the line of your thoughts.
The mind is to the human body what engine is to an airplane. No matter how beautifully designed the body of an airplane is, if there is an engine failure, the airplane will be grounded and will not fly. So tell me, what is the need of an airplane that cannot fly? In the same way, the failure of the mind is what manifests in the failure of every part of the human life. No wonder it has been said that the poverty that resides in the mind is worse than the one that resides in the pocket.
Each time a negative thought comes into your mind, try not to give it attention but counter it with both positive thoughts and positive actions. The thoughts you give attention to will become your dominant thought and when you feed that thought, it will form the basis of your actions. So to have a positive action, which will lead to positive result, you must have a positive thought.
