Building The Life You Desire With Intentional Thoughts
More often than not, the reality you desire is a true reflection of the mentality you hold. It is what you see and visualise that you will live in. What you cannot create in your mind, you may not be able to handle with your hand. Your mindset is like the architectural plan, while your reality is the building itself. Any great building that you see today, like the skyscrapers and other massive structures, began as an idea, then translated into architectural drawing, before it finally became a building. In the same way, the reality that you want to have will first be created in the mind by intentional thoughts before it will manifest in its tangible form that everyone can see.
How you see the things around you and what you make of them, is a direct function of your mindset. A positively minded person will see opportunities even in the presence of problems, while a negatively minded person will see the opposite - they will see problems even in opportunities. Not just that, they will try to convince themselves that success is a product of luck or that it is reserved for a selected people, which will then limit them from living up to their full potentials. What you have to understand is that buildings do not just spring out by chance, but they are intentionally planned, and then built. In this same way in life, you have to be intentional about your thoughts because they go a long way to determine your endpoint.
A lot of things are heavily influenced by your thoughts, like your words, your actions, your attitude, your character, and ultimately your future. If you think in a certain way, you will see yourself subconsciously acting in the same way. As a student for example, if you think success and excellence, it will influence you for a studious lifestyle, which will make your dream of success to come to reality. On the other hand, if a student thinks failure, it will discourage them from reading or studying their books and at the end, success will be far from them. This is not because they could not succeed, but because their mind and thoughts were not aligned towards succeeding.
Your mind is constantly making plans for your future either knowingly or subconsciously. If you think small or mediocrity, your reality will be small. But if you think big enough, dream boldly, take relevant actions to back it up, your reality will be big to match your vision. The way you think is how your perception will be, and that is also how your life will turn out to be. Thinking possibilities and positivities does not mean that challenges will not come. As a matter of fact, you will be faced with challenges, but you also need to know that even in the midst of them, you will still have a way to overcome. It is your mindset that will determine if your challenges will become obstacles or stepping-stone.
It is very important to guard your mindset well because it is like the powerhouse of your life. You may need to know that everything that will go right or wrong in the life of an individual will start from the mind. This is why you need to feed your mind with positive and good things, thoughts that will prompt you to take actions towards possibilities. More so, you have to expose yourself to wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and experiences that push you to think better. In addition to this, you also have to keep friends and surround yourself with the people that will motivate you to grow, and that will sharpen your mentality. The sharper your mentality is, the stronger your reality will be.
You have to keep in mind that good life does not just happen overnight, rather it is built in series of steps and stages, starting from the mind. If you want to live a successful life, a fulfilled life, and a life worthy of emulation, then you have to design it first in your mind. After that, you will need to power it with relevant and timely actions. Then remain consistent, dedicated, and committed to the course. At the end, your desired reality will be created.
