1. State of Mind….
Witheverythingthatisgoingonin the worldtodaythe questionalwaysarises…Whatcanwe do?And
there are many suggestionsthatone canthinkof but I believeitall comesdowntoone thing…Yourstate
of mind.Inorderfor anychange to take place one has to fistconvince themselvesof the change.Itall
starts inthe mind.
Thinkaboutit. Generational curses,historyof abuse inthe family,livingoff the system.Itall startswith
the way we think.Firstwithourselvesandthenaboutthe particularsituation.Everythingthatisstarted
isbecause someone hadathoughtand acted uponit. Thenit getsto a pointwhere we are content
where we are and there isno desire formore,andthat attitude ispassedonfromgenerationto
generation. WhenIlookaroundandsee a lotof the nextgenerationwithalackof ambitionora planfor
theirfuture Ibelieve ithasalarge part to do withthe mindsetof the individual andsometimesthe
people aroundthem.It’snotalways the case,some are justrebelliousand needtolearnthe hardway.
For example,youhave achildgrowingup ina home where theirparentsare nottoo concernedwith
theirchild’swell-being.Growingupall thischildwasexposedtowasdrugs,alcohol,abuse andneglect.
What doesone thinkthis childwill aspire tobe?Now Iam not sayingthattheywill automatically
become anotherstatisticbutthe chancesare more likelythannot.If a boy,or girl for thatmatter grows
up inan environmentwhere there isdomesticviolence ithasbeenfoundthattheyare more likelytobe
abusive orbe abusedbecause thatiswhat theyassociate withlove.
What I feel isthe biggestconcernisthe lackof supportwhenitcomesto educationandourchildren.
Everybodywantsa betterlife forthemselvesandtheir childrenbutwhatare youwillingtodoforit. So
manypeople feedintothe hype of the mediathatwe canall make itout byusingour giftsand talent
alone andfluff overthe hardwork anddedicationitisgoingto take to getthere.We all can’t be rap
artistsor athletes.We have tohave a backupplan.We have to get out of the mindsetthatiscontinuing
to setus back. Insteadof worryingaboutwhatyouhave on, let’schange ourfocusto what makesus
great.What do we have to offerthe worldthatis goingto change it forthe better?Insteadof achieving
the bare minimumlet’stryanddoour bestat everythingwe setourmindtodo. Time ison yourside,
youdon’thave to be a millionaire tomorrow,andtobe quite honestif mostof us became a millionaire
tomorrowwe wouldmostlikelyendupbackwhere we startedina shortperiodof time because we
don’tknowwhatto do or how to handle havingthatmuchmoneyat one time at ourdisposal. Anditis
inlarge part because of ourmindset.
There isa saying…”the mindisa terrible thingtowaste”and itcouldn’tbe more true.We wouldnever
knowhowwe couldchange the worldif we don’tchange our mindsaboutlife.We are so muchmore
than whatwe see and if we wantto tap intothat we must firstchange the way we think.There isa book
I readto my childrenall the time andthere isa line thatresonateswithme.Itsays “if the mindcan
conceive it,andthe heartcan believe it,thenthe handscanachieve it”…”Itall startswithyou…there is
greatnessonthe inside” What are you lookingtoachieve inlifeandwhatcan youto today to start.The
worldisyours,Go after it!!! Howwill youknow whatthe worldhas to offerif youneverexplore it?
What isyou state of Mind?
