Generally, the concept of change is one that a lot of persons find tasking to accept. Everyone just wants to do whatever they want to do with no one interfering with it, whether it be something good or nay. We enjoy the cruise of being the boss in whatever we have made up our minds to do and that’s how we get the satisfaction to keep doing whatever it is we do. The truth is, no one likes being told what to do, not even a one year old child. We all just want to do our things the way we want to do them and don’t have anyone criticize or judge us about them.
I’d say, a lot of us have our conception of what change is and what brings about change. Recently, I got the opportunity to hear a message on what change is and one thing that stick so much to me was what indeed brings about change. According to the speaker, he said that change is as a result of the information we feed our mind over time. I believe this is true because a person who is addicted to something, did not just start getting addicted to that thing in a day, it is as a result of constant interaction with such a thing.
The most interesting part is, most times, those things that are not good for us as humans are the things our mind easily processes and save up, why? Easy! It’s basically because they get into our minds in small quantities, they know how to make themselves comfortable. It’s just like in your phone storage, most times you don’t really care about those files that are occupying little space in your phone’s memory, instead you focus more on those large files. And most times, you even have to clear up some important files because they are larger.
Now, you as a person undergo some certain changes over time because you kept consuming a particular information over time. As the simple but true saying goes, “practice makes perfect”. If you want to get better at something, it’s easy, just be consistent at it. Although, sometimes it’s just easier to take in things that have smaller storage than those with larger storage. For example, let’s say you need a file of about 650MB for an important job application and also a video of just 23MB which is not concerned with helping you get that job, which of them do you think will take a shorter time to enter your device? Obviously the 23MB video.
With this in mind, we now know that daily, our minds have so many battles it fights just to make sure it gives us the best but guess what, the mind doesn’t know what and what you need, so it just focuses on the things you consume and that is how it estimates what you need. So if you keep filling your minds with things that will benefit you, that is what the mind will use overtime, to form your new habit which we can refer to as change. So by now, I’m very sure I have been able to make it clear to you that, the things you feed your mind is what causes you as a person to exhibit changes.
So my little advice is, for you to really be the boss you think in your subconscious mind that you are, be in charge of the things that gets into your mind because they just end up defining you as a person whether or not it is who you want to be. You don’t have to consume every information you see because some information just needs you to have encounter with them once for them to get into your subconscious mind and stay rent free, waiting for the right time to manifest itself.
I hope you learn a thing or two from this. Do feel free to leave your questions, your contribution and feedback on the few things I’ve mentioned here. It’s always a pleasure having you stop by ❤️.
