PSYCHOLOGY OF THE MIND

The mind works like a computer; it plays and replays the information stored therein. In essence, the more you saturate your conscious mind with an idea or possibility, the more tendency there is for your subconscious mind to act towards such possibility or idea.

THE HOME SYNDROME
A person who grows up in a home where "if you don't go to school, you will be a failure" is a cliche, will believe that the only prerequisite for success is "going to school." He will undoubtedly believe what he has been used to over time. For such person, education is the ultimate notwithstanding the myriad of talent and inherent ability he has. Nothing matters to him; only "school" He keeps waiting to go to school without exploring other areas of his life that can enable him financially and mentally to go to "school"

DIFFERENT SET OF RULES

Having a negatively fixed mindset disables your mental prowess and deactivates your thinking cap. Only you can disillusion yourself by reassuring yourself that that set of rule that has made you stagnant, or that has made you not to beyond average is not the best for you. Apply a different set of rules; be positively minded and evade fallacy.

WHAT IS THE CAUSE?

It's amazing how two people are born into different homes, one grows up with a high self-esteem, the other swims in inferiority complex. A factor is responsible for this; the mindset of those who nursed and or schooled them. Really, there is no way for you to determine the authenticity of what your guardians teach you during your formative years of childhood. That is why as adults, it is vital to read books and do somethings outside what you have been always used to. When you hear something new, something different from what you used to know, don't wave the idea off. If it makes a little sense to you, in the extra-mile to know more about the seeming absurd realization, that could be your breakthrough.

Those who succeed in life are those who bend easily and try out new things. If you have been holding on to an idea for a long time and it seems as though you are yet in the same spot, try new things. Don't be stiff to changes. Pride makes you keep holding on to what you believe in even though you are convinced it's false!

CONTROL WHAT GOES INTO YOUR MIND

When the ear keeps listening to one thing, the mind continues to assimilate it and consequently transmits it to the brain. Funny enough, the brain accepts whatever the mind tells it and acts according to the dictates of the status quo.

A mind, which has been soaked with possibilities and positivity will naturally respond to a situation positively, and with adept because his mind has been trained to believe that nothing is impossible if only he can first imagine the success that will come from the step he will take. Then he throws his heart over the bar; he goes for the best, expects the worse, and takes whatever comes so as to do subsequent improvisation. He tries with relentless effort until there is a result.

DARE TO TRY

Until you try, you will never know you can actually succeed in a particular thing. Good enough, there is no price for trying, but a higher price is placed on not trying at all; failure.

When you know how the mind works, you will be able to avert certain things and live a life that is devoid of recklessness and immaturity. When you realize that your mind listens to, and works with what it has been constantly fed with over time, you should also realize that it's high time you disillusioned yourself from fallacies and negativities of life. Henceforth, feed your ears and mind with materials and ideas that can transform your whole being and make you see possibility in everything you do. Read books that can replace your negative mindset. Listen to songs that will inspire you to do great things; songs that will motivate you towards greatness and fulfilment.

THE DIP ANECDOTE

When a foam is dipped in oil, and is squeezed, it brings forth oil. The same thing happens to a bottle filled with water, when the bottle is turned upside down, it pours out water. Likewise your mind. The uppermost material or idea is activated at any inconvienience, hereby displaying what it has been made to repeatedly believe.
