Do You Have A Mind Of Your Own?

How often do you really want to do what you know and believe is right but the fear of what people would say or how would so and so react, held you back? Do you remember how many times your good intentions have been sabotaged just because of the opinions and belief of other people? Do you remember how many times you have been subtly talked out of what you want to do?

It is really amazing to discover that many are not making headways in their career, business and marriage because they allowed themselves to be subtly guided by the opinion of other people. They seem not to have minds of their own. Whatever the crowds say is okay is okay by them. They never thought over any issue on their own. On the other hand, those who do think, to a certain extent, on their own sometimes, lack the courage to carry out their intentions; they get carried away by the opinions of the majority. And what they fail to realize is that often times the majority are wrong.

When such people find themselves in any employment they got immersed in the wrong belief fed them by their employers or trade associations. They are so gullible and believe that authorities cannot be queried or call to other even when they are doing the wrong thing or oppressing them. Their minds are so contaminated to the extent that they belief that they cannot get employment elsewhere. They suffer in silence any hardship their task master (Oh! Sorry, their employer!) might be dishing out to them. They are made to belief that they are being favored with the employment and are brainwashed not to question such belief or thought.

You Are Been Ruled By Fear!

Fear. This is one of the weapons that are usually employed to erode away right thinking mind of the majority of the people that keep the in the circle of the struggling masses!

“I am going to sack you!”

“There are too many and better people out there looking for job”

“I can feel your impact in this organization”- even though you are really working yourself out.
“How can you survive if you lost this job”

“Since you haven’t got another job, play safe and just stomach whatever the taskmaster throw at you”
“What can you do on your own at this age or stage of your life?”

“You can never amount to anything in life again”

All these statement are meant to condition your mind to a state of blankness where you will be so scared that you won’t dare to step out and explore the world of abundance that exist outside you cage that you refer to as employment. You are being conditioned to not to ask for more pay because in the first place you have been made to belief that you are being favored.

Break Lose!

The first step is for you to realize that you are been fed with wrong information and at the same time been conditioned for perpetual slavery and being kept in a cage. Then set yourself free by freeing your mind of whatever wrong information or conditioning you have been fed with. Just walk right into your fear, who says you can’t get job elsewhere? If you need to update your skills to achieve this, then upgrade your skills and get out of the cage you called job.

Whatever knowledge you have acquired in the course of your employment could be properly packaged and offer for sale. THIINK! And the solution would come; Then ACT! And you get Results. But the problem or the challenge is that many people are too lazy to think and that is why it is their employers that are doing the thinking for them and in the process oppressing them. The truth is that until they begin to think and act they will remain where they are and what they are- an instrument of creating wealth in another man’s hand!

Similarly, in the business world, even if you are self-employed and you don’t have a mind of your own that would enable you to think on your own and come up with a different idea that is unique, you will continue to struggle while your competitors cart away all the money.

Is that what you want?

Do something, Break loose and Follow your Mind. Do the very thing you really want to do.
