Hello great people of hive, welcome to my blog once again.
Over the years we as humans have been able to gain control over all our senses but often times we fail to have control over our mind.
I can still remember when I was still younger, I had always thought that the mind is in the head, probably our brain. At some point I believed that the mind is in our heart since it is in the heart that we tend to love and have emotions, those were my beliefs long ago. I had a very wrong perception of what the mind truly was and I am sure most people still have similar wrong perception about the mind.
IS THE MIND TRULY WHAT WE THINK IT IS?
A lot of people have tried to give meaning to what the mind really is. according to Cambridge Dictionary:
The mind is the part of a person that thinks, learns, and feels emotions.
To me I will say that the mind is your inner self. It is your seat of reasoning, it is that part of you that makes choices, thinks, feels, imagines, remembers and create memories.
Everything we do first happens in the mind, the mind controls virtually everything we do.
The mind is not a sense organ neither is it in the brain or the heart it is part of us, it is our sense of reasoning. The mind is not a physical organ it is more like a software while the brain processes what happens in the mind.
What we are now , what we have been and what we will be is all as a result of our mind. Our mindset has a way of determining how far we could make it in life. That is why as soon as you believe you can do a particular thing then you will do it, in as much as you channel your mind and put in deliberate effort towards it then it will surely happen.
Most times we feel we can not make it to the top, we feel we just can't do it and our mind processes it that way and it turns out that we become limited in what we could do. The greatest limitations a man could ever have is in the mind. As humans , God created us to have a free will, to make choices, to create and be like him and sometimes it seems impossible because we believe it is impossible and as long as you have it in mind that a thing is impossible then it will remain impossible.
In todays world we have seen so many physically deformed persons that are making impact and influencing peoples life, they were able to see beyond the what the physical eyes could see, they were able conquer the battle of the mind and that is why they make it life. The greatest deformity is not in our physical organs or senses but the greatest deformity lies in the mind.
No wonder king Solomon said in the book of proverbs" Guard your heart with all diligence for out of it comes the issues of life" The heart in this context is the mind. That is why people mostly say " you can not go far if you can not see far" the seeing here has to do with the mind, obviously you can see with your mind, and you may ask how is that possible? yes, you see with the mind as well, it is not the physical seeing but you imagine things and create pictures of things in the mind.
let's take an instance, you watch a horror movie and after some time you start seeing some pictures of the movie you watched, that image is created in the mind. Actually the truth is, you can program your mind to act in a way you want and that is how we make things possible.

The mind is very powerful that most times we tend to undermine its power. For you to utilize the mind productively you have to be intentional, if you want to make anything possible:
- firstly have a picture of it in your mind, imagine how you want it to be, what you want it to look like.
- Write it down either in a journal or in your play cards, you could choose to have an infographics about that thing you want to achieve.
- Paste it or place it at a point you could easily see
- Make it a habit to see it and read it out to yourself everyday because the more you see or talk about it, the more your mind processes it and it will gradually become a part of you
- Always talk about it
- Take action, nothing will change until you change it no matter how much you desire it, you need to work towards it.
- Never give up, keep trying till you get your desired result.
To sum it all, there is so much you can achieve, do not place a limit in your mind, everything changes once we change our mindset and always believe that all things are possible.
