...How do we achieve to start taking
action and make a difference in our lives and the people around us? Firstly,
stop complaining!!! For it does nothing but makes you feel worse and bitter,
because the situation becomes seemingly impossible to deal with or make better
rightly so because when a statement or a lie is repeatedly talked of especially
a negative statement or issue it becomes true and inclined and engraved in the
mind that it becomes difficult to fight. It becomes tattooed to one’s identity
and clings with them whenever and wherever.
This is true for us the young people,
because we have been complaining a lot about the economy, that we are left
vulnerable and easy prey to conflict entrepreneurs because we have told
ourselves over and over that we have nothing left for us. The situation applies
to our elderly parents who have viewed the youth as negative instruments to
violence and the hub for problems that it has left us damaged and demoralized
however there is still a way forward, we are agents and assets of positive
development we are the power sources for a better Africa only if we start by
empowering our minds for it is where battles are fought and won.
Positive Youth Development talks of the
Youth as tools for positive change, because the youth are unstoppable,
imaginative, fresh and still charged up willing to take risks and go an extra
mile to make a change. It starts with one individual, it starts by believing
that you can, it starts by brooding positivism into the mind. Even tried and
tested Positive Reinforced gives us all a better view of how the mind
functions. When you are rewarded for the good that you have done even verbally
by being acknowledged of your hard work you have the urge to do more and even
better. That is how the mind changes things in a blink of an eye. If the mind
can do that then why not use it as a way to bring total change, positive change
that is, and make a huge difference.
If you have brilliant ideas and
strategies that might bring a positive change document it, and put it to use
when you have fully given capacity to yourself and do not wait for someone to do it for you, Do it yourself. You are equally responsible for change as much
as you think the next person is. Let go of all negativity buried in your mind.
If someone with a set of legs, a set of hands, a face and who can eat as you
can why can you not do it as well.
Let us all create a positive
environment for ourselves, at least let us all do this for our very own good if
the governments of Africa have failed us over and over, let us do ourselves the
courtesy of bandaging our own wounds and stop complaining, look through deeper
into our own talents and build a legacy that seems almost impossible however
attainable if we feed the mind with positivism. For some people this might
sound as mere utopia and fantasy however many Psychologists and intellects like
Mark Bickhard argue that the environment affect the person therefore if we are
ready for change if we are looking for better air to breathe and not be
suffocated by distress and forever hanging agony, let us all take time to
engage our minds personally and feed positivism into the mind, it is which that
feeds the body to function better with renewed strengths and purpose. Know your
worth, know your purpose and stand up.
It is important to acknowledge the
origination of the philosophy and Science of mindfulness tracking it back into
time as a concept so old it has been working for decades. The idea that
changing one’s thoughts can change one’s reality is a cornerstone of Bhuddha’s
philosophy who argued that “Your state of existence originate in your mind.
Mind is its chief, and it is created by the mind. If you speak or act with a
pure mind, happiness will follow you like your own shadow...” How far true this
is, is rather contested by many, but one thing for sure you are what you think
of yourself. If you think small of yourself then you are, if you think big, you
would not want to disappoint yourself so you work really hard not to see
yourself remain where you are. You work towards becoming better and you feel
you have a purpose to fulfill, that is the whole sense of a positive mind having
positive effects upon your personal life. Doubting this? Well try it!!!
Only you have the power to change your
life. No one is going to come and knock on your door and say I have come to
make your life better, if you come across such a person either they are going
to steal from you and leave you even poorer or even worse shattered and
disappointed you will never rise from the ground. If you want to be successful
first believe that you can. By rewarding your mind with positivity, it rewards
you back with positive energy and drive despite the predicaments surrounding
you.
Pay attention to yourself, nurture your
talents, explore, read find out what is going on and stay updated in a way that
is constantly trying to break us, it is almost impossible to survive but we do
anyway so there is a way where there is a will. The ups and downs that we all
go through as individuals are there not to break us but to make us even
stronger. Well it has actually become a song of the century but it is true that
what does not kill you makes you even stronger, learn from your mistakes move
on and feed on the positive energies in your life. Dwelling on the negative thoughts
and feelings makes you a bitter person who will get old before they even reach
forty years of age. It is amazing how the mind works. You feed into it what you
want it to give you back, but of course only through working even harder.
Stop complaining, stop comparing
yourself with others, stop procrastinating, start embracing your uniqueness,
start believing in yourself and get out of your comfort zone!!! In the end you
will find out that it was all worth it.
