SELF LIMITING BELIEF

It is said that Philosophers are great thinkers; and a Philosopher is one who studies Philosophy. Does this mean that you cannot think of great things if you never studied Philosophy? No!

The computer system in use today is a function of the human brain, which has a central processing unit called the CEREBRUM. This is where higher mental functions like imagination, reasoning, assimilation, invention, etc, are carried out.

Many great thinkers like John Stuart Mill, Immanuel Kant, Niccolo Machiavelli, and many others, had one thing or the other which they contributed to humanity.

Firstly, what do you think of yourself? Who do you think you are? What do you think you can do? Do you know you were born great? Do you believe Jack is better than you are? Do you think you can be among the policy-makers in your organization or do you accept to remain at the lower level? Why don’t you think of becoming the best or the first? What can you do that will benefit mankind?

The first step to change is that you must change the way you think about yourself, though, it may be difficult to replace the old way of thinking with a new approach. Many today believe they can’t face challenges. Little do they know that these challenges come in different forms and at different times, everywhere – home, office, neighbourhood and even in places of worship.

These challenges will always come, but you need to be proactive; always think of possible solutions. For instance, terrorists are who they are today because they always fill their minds with the ‘I can Do’ spirit (please I’m not encouraging terrorism)

What do you fill your mind with? Your actions are subject to your mental inputs. You cannot give what you don’t have.

V. in one of his books The Mafia Manager said “choose the time of the day or night when your energies are highest and let your mind roam.”

If you believe you were born poor, you will remain poor. If you are for mediocrity, you will remain a mediocre. If yours is to arise from obscurity into limelight, then you need to acquaint yourself with the necessary tools, skills or techniques to reaching the centre of public attention. In other words, state to yourself what you would be, then, do what is necessary.

In our country today, technical education is not being given the necessary attention. Our graduates do not have hands-on experience, and as such, they make themselves unemployable.

How we think about what counts as real, affects the way we interact and think, hence, fill your mind with positive thoughts.

Don’t limit yourself.
