YOUR MENTALITY MAKES YOU
No matter what we are and where we find ourselves, we can always be what we want to be. This happens only if we have the mentality of being that. This is a simple law in all human ventures. Our mentality makes us what we are.
Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. There is an African proverb that says ‘’ what you think of in the day, is what you dream of in the night. What it means is that, what you think of doing is what you do.
You remember Dr Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, the Wright brothers, Mandela of south Africa, Washington D. C, Car Benz, Chenua Achebe of Nigeria, and a host of others. They were icons in their generation because that’s what they thought to be. Nothing on this earth is by chance though others believe so. Every natural activity is backed by a natural law. So your achievement in any field is also backed by a law. That’s the law of positive thinking. Napoleon Hill of U S says ‘whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can be achieved.’ Don’t ever think you can’t do it, for you will truly not be able to do it. The mind is also a natural computer, whatever garbage you put in, that’s what you get. (GIGO)
My father once made me memories a small poem, that really enhanced my self esteem when I was a small boy. He said something like this. “the boy who says I will try will always be on the mountain top but the boy who says I can’t will always be at the mountain’s bottom…..” great business, great opportunities have gone down the drain because people fail to conceive and believe in themselves. The world is need of great positive thinkers to take up the challenge of making the impossibility a possibility. If you can think positively, you are already qualified for greatness. I was training to run a 1500 meter race for my college in a competition. I had already trained very hard but scared that I would not make it. It got to a point I even wanted to drop my participation. Then, few minutes before the race, my sport tutor, tapped my shoulders and whispers, “you can win if you first win it in your mind” I tried it and that day was one of my happiest moment.
Begin to have the mentality of what you want to be and you will truly be.
