Power of the mind

Your mind, and your mind only is a place you can go to and be completely alone, to be one hundred percent on your own, in your own world. You can create anything you like there, a world where anything is possible. You close your eyes and you see everything you have ever dreamed of... You see how easy it is to picture a perfect world? The world you picture in your head is a world that is possible. 

It's easy in the times that we live in to forget the power in our own heads. We get enveloped in a world of constant updates from around the world, good news. bad news, photos of our friends on social media, texts, phone calls, everything is so readily accessible by the thing we tend to hold dearest to us and you never see us without... our phones. 

What if we ignored the 24/7 life that goes on outside of our own and took a minute to evaluate how we are actually working our minds and using up our precious time? Imagine how much more of your day you could spent speaking face to face with real people. Imagine how much you could learn if you decided to read a book for ten minutes instead of scrolling through Instagram for the 4th time since 9am. 

When you give it the chance, the world will open up to you. Your mind will crave knowledge and imagination and positivity beyond what you think could be possible. Human's are meant to learn. We didn't construct spaceships, build skyscrapers, create revolutionary inventions, discover fire, write life changing music and see the world by flicking through Facebook and Instagram in every moment of boredom we ever had.

Truth is, you should never be bored. "Boredom" should be driving force to seek and soak up every ounce of knowledge you can muster from reading, listening, creating and observing everything around you. Pick something you have always wanted to know more about and learn everything you possibly can about that subject. Learn everything you can about anything. The greatest people in the world didn't get to be great by sitting back with a blank mind waiting for the next exciting thing to come their way. The made the way themselves, they created the greatness with the power of their own minds by constantly educating themselves. 

"Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela.

How can you ever be successful and be where you want to be, if you never leave where you are? Everyone has goals but not everyone will work to achieve them because of fear of failure, judgement, hard work, set backs, rejections. All these feelings are stopping you from reaching everything you ever wanted to be. If you don't have the passion, you'll never make it. Those with consistency, desire and the ones willing to sacrifice everything, they are the ones who are going to make their dreams possible. You might not be there yet, but you can never give up because of set backs or the thought that maybe you won't make it in the end. But you have to whole heartedly believe in yourself that you are going to make it happen and always take the next baby step forward to reach it. 

Your mind is yours to take control over and you have the choice to either pursue everything you ever dreamed of, or not. Start learning about how to take the next step into the life you want, and work endlessly until you get it. If you can imagine it, it is possible. And if you believe it, it will happen. Take a break from social media. Free your thoughts of numbing, braining washing rubbish that you fill your time with every single day and replace it with working towards your goals and success. YOU make your future. No one else. 

Write down your goals every morning and every night so they are ingrained into your mind. Every single thought you have in each day should be completely focussed on your goals if you want them bad enough. No on will stop you from reaching them. 

Your mind is a powerful thing, and depending on how you choose to use it, you'll either become everything you ever wanted, or you will remain the same.
