MIND YOUR MIND
By Iftikhar Anjum
In order to be successful in your
life, you need to understand how your mind works. You will be surprised to know
the fact that your mind is not designed for success but it is designed to keep
you alive and safe. In order to be successful you have to have a strong control
on your mind.
It is a very famous saying that
“ Your mind will
believe everything you tell it. Feed it hope, feed it truth, and feed it love.”
By feeding your mind you can
control it. On the other hand if you are in control of your mind, you will
never be successful in your life. You have to go against your mind to be on the
apex of success.
Although your mind will not
convince you to be successful but it will not keep you unacquainted with the
things which can make you successful. Your mind will give you a five second
window time in which it will bring before you the things that can make you
successful but after that it will go to the safe mode and will suggest you to
avoid things which may cause discomfort in your life. So that five second
window time is the about time to take actions otherwise it will be too late. Your
mind tries to keep you in your comfort zone but your success does not lie in
your comfort zone. To be successful in your life, you have to force yourself to
come out of your comfort zone.
The path of success is not very
smooth, it is neither enjoyable nor fascinating but it is tough and twisted.
There will be many sideshows, which will attract you, and you may be deviated.
You have to be very focused and concentrated towards your goal if you really want
to see yourself there.
It is very easy to be motivated,
you are reading this essay and your motivation level may be on the peak and
after finishing this essay if you do not take any practical step in that
motivated state, the moment will pass and again you are back to your comfort
zone.
Everybody have some plans and
goals but it is really very hard to execute your plans and achieve the goals. For
achieving your goals you have to schedule your mind and get it tamed then it
will work wonders for you. To get a strong control on your mind FIRSTLY, you have to take action
instead of just staying motivated and SECONDLY,
you have to be persistent in your activities. These two things are the keys to
utilize your mind for success. This will discipline your mind and once it is disciplined,
it is in your control.
“ The mind is everything. What you
think you become.” BUDDHA
Keep on working towards your goals
persistently, the speed of your work doesn’t matter much but the important
thing is keep on doing things which will bring your near to your goals. Don’t
let your eyes go away from your destination and don’t get deviated or
distracted.
