Your Thoughts Dictate Your Actions

"A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks
he becomes" Mahatma Gandhi
Truth is, the human mind is a thought generator...generating
thoughts consciously and unconsciously. It is actually capable of producing hundreds of thoughts in a short amount of time.
The question is, what are you thinking?
Are you a positive or negative thinker? How you think about
and and interpret the events is your life determines the eventual outcome.
Positive thinking is associated with positive actions and outcomes.
They are the ingredients that create real value in your life and help you to build skills that last.
A positive mental attitude produces positive perceptions resulting in optimism. Optimistic people are happier and healthier. They enjoy more success than those who think negatively.
The problem is, we as humans have been programmed to
"survive"...our natural instinct to stay alive. Our brains are
still programmed to respond to negative emotions the same
way - by limiting our options and shutting off the outside world.
Negative emotions, attitudes and thoughts are depicted by
unpleasant ideas, unfavorable and degrading words and disturbing mental images.
On the other hand, positive emotions open our minds and broaden all possibilities. An affirmative thought is a hundred times more powerful than a negative thought.
The reality is, we are ultimately in control of our thoughts. The next time a negative thought vies for attention in your mind, see if for what it is...limiting,and constrictive. Simple replace it with a positive one.

Mando And His World

Mando And His World As a child, Mando believed that he would make a difference in his world. Something in him used to tell him that he did not belong to the world he was presently in. Mando's world was that of lack and deprivation. His family was poor, utterly poor and Mando was the 8th of 10 Children that his Parents had. His Father was a subsistent farmer and his Mother a petty trader. They could barely afford 2 meals in a day. Because of the many mouths to feed, both Parents sometimes went hungry just to ensure that their children had something to eat. Clothing was a different kettle of fish, Mando and his siblings barely had clothes and went bare-bodied most of the time. Sandals and silpas were a luxury, but they got used to moving around bare feet even on thorny surfaces. Being a farmer, Mando's Father would leave the house very early in the morning and come back late in the evening. Sometimes, his wife would cook and then send the food with one of...

Know This And Have Some Peace

Know This And Have Some Peace... I have visited my 120 years old grandmother and given her some money when I was leaving and she told me she doesn't need money again. That she can no longer buy nor sell at her age, so I should give the money to the younger ones who need it. I also have a former governor friend whom I worked with as a green horn journalist. He was governor from 1999-2007. Not too long ago, I saw him. After check in, he was left seated by the corner of the Murtala Mohammed international airport awaiting his flight. No one even recognized him again, not even passengers from his State where he was governor, and as I walked up to him and greeted him, then asked if he wanted any assistance, he stretched forth his trembling hands to hold me and simply said, "Thank you for even recognizing me again. I just want your attention briefly my son. Sit down let me ask you something. How is Governor Ayade doing Agba?" I also have a retired Maj...

Freedom From Fear - Choices Before The New Generation

Freedom From Fear - Choices Before The New Generation By Babatunde Raji Fashola We are now in the realm and reality of constant expectations of miracles and divine intervention. Superstitions have taken over reason and logic. When we pass examinations, win football matches, conduct successful elections, or achieve any feat, we seem all too frightened and unsure of ourselves to take credit for even the most modest of successes attributable to our efforts. Instead the first thing you hear is God did it. Regrettably, we have surrendered our capacities and abilities in a frightful way to FEAR, that we have become victims of some confidence tricksters who deceive, dis-entitle and prey on our fears and frailties in ‘God's’ name. Every man and woman of substance now has a Mullah, Pastor, Imam, Alfa, Spiritualist or even a witch doctor or Dibia who is responsible for telling them what to do, when to do it, in a way that diminishes his abilities...
