SEE IT IN YOUR OWN MIND

‘If you want to reach a goal, you must ‘see the reaching’ in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal.’
ZIG ZIGLAR.

The you that you can see in your own mind may end up being the you that you will eventually become. Some people are in the habit of using their mind in the wrong way. They visualize themselves as poor, needy and sick. Anybody that will go far in life must make the best use of his mind. The things we visualize always have a way of becoming reality in the long run. Learn to use your mind profitably. See yourself as successful, influential and healthy.

To excel in life one must set goals, develop strategies to actualize the goals and above all put the strategies into action. The most important aspect of actualizing your goal is your ability to see the reaching of the goal in your mind. Until you can see it in your mind that your goal is indeed a possibility, you may not be able to give it all it takes to make it a reality. Not that a particular unseen hand is responsible for this process but that once your subconscious mind is convinced that you can, then your conscious mind will go into action to produce all the energy needed to make it a reality. Never underplay the place of your mind in reaching your goal.

The mind that is capable of thinking right is a mind that is fed with positive thoughts. Your mind has the capacity to give back to you in a more refined way, what you have been feeding it with, all these while. So feed your mind with possibilities. Feed your mind with positive thoughts. Feed your mind with encouraging thoughts. Feed your mind with good news. Feed your mind with message of hope and of a better future. It’s what you feed your mind with that you’ll get back.

The most efficient way to feed your mind with excellent and positive thoughts is through what you read, hear and see. Learn to watch and listen to motivational talks by men and women that love God and fear Him. Read books that are full of wisdom and encouragement. Do away with books and messages that encourage anger, bitterness, lust, aggression, war and revenge. Always entertain positive thoughts and discard evil thoughts.

One thing you must know for sure is that positive thoughts and actions are contagious. To remain positive and constantly use your mind rightly, you must cultivate the habit of encouraging people around you. Share the positive thoughts you learn from books, tapes and other sources with those who are discouraged. Practicing this constantly will automatically make you a die hard positive thinker. Learn to share positive and encouraging thoughts with others.

In conclusion, as this year is going to an end, begin to see your goals for the year ahead as becoming reality. Think possibility, think solution, think prosperity, think good health and think of a better year ahead.
