Choices! What will it be? #62
Have you ever noticed how your mood can instantly shift to something else or change based on a single thought? Or how constantly hooked on a negative experience can make it worse?
Positive thoughts pave ways to achieving great things while negative thought pave way to doubts and possibly never achieving anything.
An author once said, change your thoughts, change your life. Perhaps, he knew how powerful our mind can be. And a little positive thoughts is enough to fuel the journey of a thousand mile.
Just yesterday, as at the time of writing this contest. I had a call that totally soured my mood. Honestly, I wanted to shout at the highest voice, argue with the other party and never give in. The issue was so serious that I had to cut the call first to calm my nerves. It took a while but I had to call my mind to avoid saying something that I might end up regretting. I hopped on to TikTok, watched some comedies and got back on track.
Aristotle is known for wise words that stop you in your track and get you to take actions. When he said, As a man thinketh, so is he; he was merely showing us how powerful the human mind can be. Our thoughts have the remarkable ability to influence our emotions, actions, and the outcome.
With each thoughts you think, you are actively thinking how you want your future to be. If you think you can achieve your dreams and visions, then you will. But if you think you can’t, then you can’t.
The saying, man know thyself reiterates the importance of you knowing yourself, the future you see yourself in and pursuing it with all your might.
How can you harness this power well?
Believe you can: everything ever created started with a seed. Either a seed of belief, of possibilities or a seed of doubt. Having those doubtful thoughts. Having those doubtful thoughts can hold you back, believe you can with words of affirmation to drown out the negative thoughts and instill confidence in your ability to achieve your goals.
Visualize your goals: vividly imagine yourself achieving all you’ve ever desired. That should fuel you into action.
Focus more on the solution you provide, and not the problems. Yes, it’s necessary to think of possible problems and plan ahead but dwelling on them creates a negative energy. Instead, shift your focus to finding the solutions to these problems.
Make gratitude a habit: There's a popular saying in my mother tougue, Igbo: "Onye kele dike na nke omere, o mekwa ozo (if you thank someone for what they've done, they will do more)." Being grateful is it something you should be begged to imbibe every day, it should be a habit. Why? You are not certain of what the day hold, so you should be grateful of what you have at the moment.
Say No to negative thoughts. It's alright to have bad negative thoughts sometimes. But it's not okay is letting it control you for yeh whole day. The key is not to dwell on them. Acknowledge the issue, address it, then let them go and move on. Don't let it hinder your activities. Go to a clam place, meditate, get your mind back on track to positivity.
Conclusion
Your thoughts have the power to shape your words, so why not choose to create a reality that is filled with love, abundance, and boundless imaginations? Why not fill your thoughts with the possibilities of a lifetime. Your thoughts is a fertile ground. Plant good thoughts in them.
You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore. - William Faulkner
I invite @ogechukwu-martha, and @glorious1 to also participate in this contest.
Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.
I really have come to understand that our thoughts are the bedrock of our realities. Sometimes, some thoughts I had get to play out in reality and I'm like, this is serious.
Doing our best to have positive thoughts about ourselves, people around us and situations we find ourselves in is one attribute we need to have to make our reality worth the time.
A good piece you have here.
Well work,ma!
