Change Your Mind, Change Your Life
So I read the story of Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, the Moroccan shepherd girl who rose from obscurity to become the Minister of Education in France.
And after reading her life story, one thing stood out from all the processes that led up to her being the second most popular politician despite her poor beginning and being an immigrant- The Mental Overhaul.
Everything rises and falls on the state of your mind.
Let’s get this fact settled; there is no question- Every man wants to succeed! No man wants to be poor or dreams to be irrelevant.
But the question is- why do some actually succeed and others don’t despite their dreams struggles and effort. The answer lies in this four-lettered word- the MIND.
Have you ever consciously wondered why you never see yourself doing certain great things?
Have you ever wondered why you have never seen yourself being at a particular place or achieving a certain goal?
This is because your mind over time has been caged and programmed by some negative factors which affect its ability to fly and produce results for you.
And because you don’t think it, you can’t dream it, and when you don’t dream it you can’t see it, and when you don’t see it you cannot live it.
The reason why you are still where you are right now (amongst other reasons) is as a result of the state of your mind.
The human mind in its default setting is imbued with the capability of first of all dreaming, and overtime helping that individual to achieve that which is dreamt.
But as a result of certain Programmings, some of us have been robbed of this ability to dream, or even when we do, it is only for the purpose of getting that which can put food on our belly and clothes on our back.
It starts with first realizing the need to work on your mind, but unless you are privileged to have a mind that still retains its default status, then you may not need to walk down this path.
But if you fall into the class of we who have to battle the labels our past failures, previous experiences and negative mental programmings gave to us, then this is for you.
You can be anything and everything you dream to be, but you must change your mind and the way it thinks.
