The mind is very powerful. It gives sense of all functions of the body parts and the environment around it. The computer box. The central hub of all interpretations, translations, actions, explanations and transactions of either the soul, spirit or body. It is where our cultures are birthed and enhanced: perception and understanding. What we are, is what was first thought of and endorsed by the mind. But unfortunately, the mind is too passive.

The Mind can either be in captive or rather be as open as the skies. That is, it can be colonised and independent depending on what we feed it with. Mind colonisation is the fear to allow the mind to think and the body to indulge in unconventional acts brought forth by grace while mind independence is having the courage to allow your mind to think or body to effectively and optimistically dwell into unconventional acts of grace without affording negativity to derail your commitment.

A lot of times, we limit our minds to think the most scarse ideas that are alien to our culture yet they can improve our way of life. The limitation is inclined our backgrounds, religion, qualification, current economic situation and/ or our societies’ culture, norms, values and beliefs. Ego and pride take toll of us and pedals us and we give preference to the latter in order to fit in a particular environment.

This hinders how we should respond positively to the thoughts we conceive and the ability to catapult our lives. It is because the mind will be disquieted with the fear to perform the uncommon doings. For instance, a medical doctor may have a financial problem but due to their qualification they feel that opening a hawking business will demean them in their community. That then shuts possible avenues of income to curb the financial predicament they will be faced with.

But when we allow our minds to be independent, we will not care nor pay attention to what is pre- conditioned by our societies and embark on the quest to fulfil them. As you continue with the quest, you realize that living to please others is a liability and some form of foolishness. You will make your own mark and opportunities will be unleashed in the process hence greatness abound by you and ultimately legacy established.

You need to understand that you are unique from other people and so are our gifts. You cannot live a life which is the same as that of the other individual. You can imitate them but it will never be identical. Therefore, explore your own thoughts, ideas and plans. You are the ideal candidate for them, no one else.
