As a Man Thinks…

Have you heard of the phrase “Your words SHAPE you”?

Words are very important…so important that right from the processing of your inner thoughts to the verbalisation into spoken words, every step is crucial. The human mind can be compared to a garden. The state of the garden-whether well cultivated or wild and overgrown with weeds- is directly at your mercy.

The output of your garden, or your life, as the case may be, is directly influenced by the input into the garden. What do you fill your mind with? Positive or negative thoughts? Dreams of how bright your future is? Or do you think that your time has come and passed? Maybe you think that the opportunities passed you by?
Now is the time for you to get up. Yes, you heard me! Get up and demand your right from life. Be determined to make it no matter what. Set your face like a flint and rise up to life’s challenges!!

You can make it to the top…if you will just believe and start verbalising that in your everyday life. Your thoughts mould your character and your character influence your words and actions.
You need to consciously choose what you feed your mind with…the right books, positive images, life-changing videos. Saturate your mind with success stories of life’s warlords, who have made it against all odds.

Don’t use the wrong words on yourself i.e. "I’m not cut out for great things", "I always fail...".
Do not allow others to use the wrong words on you. Reject them and shake them off like a bag of dust.

Don’t be afraid to dream lofty dreams. For as you dream, so shall you become. Be grateful for where you are right now…it is not your DESTINATION. Be enthusiastic about your life, some folks don’t have a quarter of your blessings (and it is not their fault or yours). Just pause and think of the motherless, fatherless, homeless, jobless...the list runs on.


Indeed, your words shape you…your thoughts mould you.
Earl Nightingale (1921-1989), an American speaker and author of "Lead the Field", who was also known as the "Dean of Personal Development" said, "We become what we think about most of the time...whatever we plant in our sub-conscious mind and nourish with emotion and repetition, will one day become a reality".
Train your mind to see and absorb the good in every situation.
