_Proverbs 23:7 – “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…”_
Another version says, “As a man thinketh, so is he.”
Listen youth,
What makes a man great is not just hard work. Yes, hard work is good. But let’s be honest – many people wake up 4am, work till midnight, they sweat, they gather, but they are still struggling. Why? Because hard work without right thinking is like driving a car with no direction.
We are who we are today because of what we thought years ago.
Your life today is a result of the thoughts you entertained yesterday. Your thinking is the blueprint of your future. God created your brain to be the factory, and your body is just the worker. Whatever the factory produces, the body will deliver.
A lot of us have already killed our future in our own minds. Because of poverty, because of family background, because of break-up, because of no job, we start thinking:
“I will never make it.”
“People like us don’t succeed.”
“My village people have blocked me.”
My brother, my sister, your body is listening! Your body is inspired by what you feed it from the brain.
One day God told the Israelites something powerful in Numbers 14:28 – “As you think in your heart and as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do unto you.” He didn’t say what you shout outside, He said what you carry INSIDE. If you think evil, evil will find you. If you think good, good will locate you.
YOUR MINDSET IS YOUR REAL CV
Positive mind = Positive results.
Negative mind = Negative results.
It is a law.
Your thinking today will decide the decisions you will take tomorrow, and your decisions tomorrow will decide your destiny.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO? – 4 SOLUTIONS FOR THE YOUTH
1. GUARD YOUR MIND LIKE YOUR PHONE:
You don’t allow anyone to press your phone anyhow. Why do you allow anyone to put fear, gossip, and failure into your mind? Stop entertaining people who always bring bad news. Unfollow negative pages.
2. FEED YOUR MIND DAILY:
You eat food every day for your body, but what do you feed your mind? Read one chapter of a good book. Listen to a powerful message. Meditate on the Word of God every morning before you touch your phone. Your brain needs food too.
3. SPEAK WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE:
Don’t just think it, declare it. Every morning look at yourself and say: “I am blessed. I am going to make it. My future is great. I refuse to fail.” Your mouth is the loudspeaker of your thoughts.
4. ACT ON YOUR GOOD THOUGHTS:
A dream without action is just a wish. If you think you want to be a business man, start learning, start small. If you think you want to be great, start doing what great people do today, not tomorrow.
FINAL WORD:
Youth, stop saying “Let me see what will happen.” YOU DECIDE WHAT WILL HAPPEN BY HOW YOU THINK.
You are not a product of your condition. You are a product of your thinking. Change your thinking, and you will change your life.
You are what you think. So think GREAT!
