By Zion Emmanuel Obeten
No matter how handsome, beautiful, wealthy or skillful a prisoner is, he
is at
the mercy of the
prison warden so long as he remains in that prison.
His activities are controlled and his movements restricted. His ideas do
not profit him and neither do his skills make him a hero. He is totally in
subjection.
Permit me to say that every
man is a prisoner of his mind and his thoughts are the prison warden. Your activities, lifestyles, movements,
heights are at the mercy of these thoughts.
In this world of technology, WISDOM should NEVER be replaced with westernization. The mindset is supposed to be changed and upgraded
before the handset.
Unfortunately, people tend to do the reverse. So, a man may have an iPhone or
an iPad but without the right thoughts, and so, he only has an advanced
handset, but not an advanced mindset.
Consequently, he can barely get the best from such a device because his mindset
is not stretched to operate the handset.
Talents and ideas are wasted when a man’s thoughts are
limited and restrained by his environments.
Skills are restricted when a man places his inabilities
above them. When we feed our inabilities, we make them grow to overshadow our
abilities.
But, when we feed our mindsets with the right concepts and precepts, they are being retuned to accept the good things we expect.
So, the crux of the matter is for us to always RESET OUR MINDSET, because the
mind will always wander easily to where it’s not fit for you and me.
Remember, a man’s MIND will either make him BLIND to or make him FIND what is good for him.
