What controls you ?


Imagine living a life where all your thoughts, actions, present and future is outside of your influence. A life where you live according to a program that you did not set. Imagine living the life of a slave who is in bondage. The truth of the matter is at one point in time we have all been slaves to our minds and our minds slaves to fear. Science says fear has been the very reason why man has managed to survive all this but at the same time fear is also the reason that man lives a limited life. From a previous post earlier in the year (https://tgimondayzim.blogspot.com/2020/04/live-imitless-life.html) I talked about how fear has a crippling effect which will remain with you for the rest of your life if you do not shake it off.

Fear has directly and indirectly been in control of the majority's actions and beliefs since the beginning of time and it does not look like it will let anyone go easily any time soon. Many rash decisions have been made based of fear of failure, rejection, judgement and pain. Surely to those who have lived like this before or still are, we can all agree that this is no way to live.

My question to you today is What controls you ?

I have 4 things which i feel people should completely sever ties with and regain control of their own lives. We have all at one point in time come across either one of these :
  1.  Your past
    This will include past failures and mistakes that one would have made. These can cause you to have a certain belief about who you are which in most cases are wrong. Do not let your past control you no matter how dreadful it was.
  2.  Other people's opinions
    People often want to discourage you from doing something that they themselves are scared of doing or did not do because they were scared. This type of mentality is called the crab mentality where crabs in a bucket will always pull down a crab that is trying to make it out of the bucket. No matter how good or how bad you are...people will always talk. 
  3.  Limited beliefs
    We often think so little of ourselves. "I don't qualify for this...Who am I to do such a thing...This is impossible" are all statements that limit our belief system. What I have been trying to do for the past year is to share my discoveries in relation to the transformation of your mind hence changing our belief system. I believe strongly that a person can only have as far as their eyes can see and the only thing that limits a person is what they believe in.

  1. Relationships
    "Do not be deceived : Bad company corrupts good character" ~ 1 Corinthians 15 vs 33. The bible pretty much sums it all up. Do net let people ruin you and likewise do not ruin others. Who we surround ourselves with pretty much determines who we are and what we do. If you hang around 5 hardworking people then you become the 6th, likewise if you hang around 5 fools you will be the 6th.  
So next week I am going to focus on the things that should control one's life and direct them to where they should be and the path they should take. The power to live a fearless limitless life is in your hands and only you have the power to change your life. Have a blessed week and Thank God its Monday

The horse is made ready for the day of battle

" The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD " ~ King Solomon(Proverbs 21 vs 31).This is a verse I got from my little brother during one of our family devotions and it really got me thinking. In ancient times the horse was considered one of the finest beasts man could ever own and use for his/her personal use. Before it was used for agricultural purposes it was mostly used for transportation and for war as the soldiers would ride atop of it into battle. The horses were readied for battle a day or 2 prior to battle so that when the day arrives they are in perfect shape and would prove to be an advantage to their owners. King Solomon however knew something that a majority of people didn't know, that we may have the finest horses but victory rests or lies with the Lord. This to me means that before there is even a victory the horses need to be made ready for the battle and this allows the victory to rest with the Lord because we wo

Value your identity

Our past as many would argue is always going to be a huge part of our life. The sad part is a majority of the memories we remember are those in which our lives were at an all time low. This can be a certain failure, heartbreak or some other catastrophic event. Continuously replaying such events unintentionally molds us into the people we are and would result in loss of confidence, depression and just a general lack of purpose or value in life. If these things don't shape us then the constant criticism we receive from friends and family molds us unfortunately. A number of people are the way they are simply because of what was said or what happened to them that they can not let go of. Holding on to such negative emotions not only has its toll on your emotional and mental well  being but it also has some effect even on your physical well being. The most powerful thing in the world is to be consistent with the thoughts values that you believe to be true about you . In my view identity

If not now then when

I feel like this week's article is a sequel to the one from last week because I have the same thought process and emotion as I did last week in relation to just starting on whatever it is you want to start on. I have had times where my mind has just been rich with potentially scalable project ideas which would not only benefit me but also those around me. The reason why none of you have heard about these projects is because all of them are still waiting for something to happen first before they can take off. Bear in mind the biggest dream killers are procrastination and the search for perfection. Procrastination is is the action of delaying or postponing something. So basically everyday you say I will start tomorrow or next week Monday for no clear reason then you my friend are slowly turning into a consistent procrastinator but it doesn't have to be like that. Like I always say...the reason why you never do things is because your brain is always trying to keep you safe and com
