“Our minds are the battle grounds in which our battles are won or lost; it is the last frontier before our victories. You and I can get to anywhere from where we are, we can become anything we dream or chose to become” I got this from a post of one of my favorite bloggers, well, It’s totally up to us as the quote says, we’ve been given the power. Great things however do not happen to us by coincidence, to become and arrive at the right destination, we must become the right people.
Last night, I couldn’t sleep; I tried to read some book that I have been reading …. Well I admit that I have read the book for almost six months now and its a 496 paged book which is my worst since I learnt how to read but I know I will finish it somehow, and since my brain was not focused on the book quick query ran through my mind and it was like...what would I want from my life? Am I wondering on aimlessly taking life as it comes? This startled me, I put the book aside and embarked on this question that was kind of tormenting my mind. I thought real hard and had all sorts of imaginations of life and in the end I was in agreement with my self that confronting life was the best thing to do, but how does one start it?
I must admit that confrontation isn’t always something that I enjoy, but then I have to say what has to be said or face what is to be faced. Right there from where you are, you can begin to live a brand new changed life, from right now. The greatest change that can happen to any human is a change of thought, a foundational change in philosophy or perspective. We are who we are, until we challenge who we are, empty our cups and open up ourselves for greater possibilities. Let me be frank with you, the reason you are where you are currently is because that’s how far the way you think can take you. If you are broke, angry, frustrated or unhappy, you were led there by your thoughts. If you want more, better, or greater, then you need to think differently. Einstein said it correctly, when he said that the level of thinking that solves a problem must be different from the level of thinking that created it.
So many times, I believe we wish we could go back in time and do them with a different result; we resign our selves in living in consequences’ of the mistakes we made. But one thing that I believe everyone must know is that you cant have ado- over but rather we have to face our own indifferences’ then reposition our selves and have a makeover, and the interesting bit about it is that it doesn’t involve any dieting of some sort, anew wardrobe or even plastic surgery.
I think its time to stop burying our heads in the sand, stop being afraid of hoping and reflect on what life means and where it’s headed. Its time to stop being afraid and want more and go after more, time to unplug the life support system of complacency to which you have been attached for so long and inhale deeply from the winds of change that are now blowing your way. Everyone can have a better life but the question is are you willing to fight for it? Are you willing to face your own indifferences?
Till then…..
