Control your mind

On a Monday morning, what type of mindset do you have? Are you of the school of thought that "Monday is mournday" or a member of team "Monday came too fast" or even "Weekend is too short". The way we see things have a lot to say about our mindset.

Let us use this simple analogy to describe how important our mindset is. Our thoughts are like a driver who is in charge of moving a car from one point to another. It either moves you forward, backward or even hit a pole. What influences the choices made by this driver (thoughts)? It is the type of driving lessons (mindset) that it has being through. A positive mindset would always propel you to move forward, a negative mindset would drive you backwards while a confused one will make you lose it all.

The type of mindset you have determines the standard of your life. The question is "What type of mindset do you have?" Do you set your mind to be progressive, regressive or stagnant. We get so much engrossed in the fun of the weekend that we do not want it to end and the moment we remember that Monday is fast approaching we get sad - that's not the kind of mindset that we should embrace.

Some people seem not to have a plan or schedule of how their day, week or month should look like. They follow the flow and this is where different happenings around you tend to fix a schedule for you. Moreover, you've got no plans! These happenings do not always need an approval. They will gain free access into your mind and before you say Jack Robinson you've seen yourself doing things you weren't supposed to do.

These happenings would be birthed as a result of the prominent thoughts in your mind. Your whole life is directed by your mindset (positive or negative). Successful and great people are said to be people who have positive mindsets. Your mind births what you desire - if you desire to be a first class student, you can achieve it, if you desire to be the best staff in your company or in your business, you can achieve it.

However, certain factors are responsible for the type of mindset that we have. Environment, education, health, family background, friends and so on are some of the factors that are responsible for our mindset. However, every single person has the total control of their mind. It is your choice if you allow your environment, friends, family etc to influence you either positively or negatively.

You'd be doing yourself a great harm the day you allow your mind to start controlling you rather control your mind. You must learn to be in charge of what you want your mind to do and not to do. That is a positive mindset mentality.
