Achieving Success With Mind Power

 

The mind is a very important part of the human body. It can in fact be described as the engine that propels the body to take actions and achieve results. This is because all actions or activities must first be conceived and refined by the mind before they are acted upon by other parts of the body such as the brain, hands and legs.

As laudable as today’s civilization and technology is, the development of the mind has been left unattended to. The effect being an under utilization of the powers of the mind, for if the mind’s powers are properly understood and harnessed, everyone can be genius or at least achieve an above average in virtually all activities.

An illustration of how the mind works can be seen in a student who is preparing for an examination, a young person preparing for an interview and in a football team that is bent on winning a tournament.

The first thing to do in all of these is to organise and discipline oneself in every way.One must be able allocate time for everything and observe it as strictly as possible.There must be a time to sleep,to eat,to play or recreate,study,rest etc.

The student must first and foremost have a very successful image or picture of himself as succeeding. This image must be firm, unshaken and determined. He must not let it fade or diminish in strength.

He must then get a good grasp of the course contents and develop an action plan that will ensure an efficient and effective study. The following must be adhered to with strict religiosity – prompt arrival to lecture venues, taking of proper notes, understanding and recording lecture explanations and full concentration both during lectures and at private study.

A prospective job seeker will most likely endear himself to the organization he intends to join if he arrives promptly, have enough time to relax and wear good and presentable outfit. This is because this will immediately project to the employers not only a strong personality but also one with an organized and stable mind.

A football match has a duration of 90 minutes.To be able to achieve success,it is important for all members of a team not to lose concentration even for a second.They must always keep their minds away from extraneous things.They also must be determined to wake up at inconvenient times to train hard.All these are difficult,but because the mind has a picture of success,everything becomes a process in achieving this objective.

The most important function of the mind in all situations should in fact be facing realities and training the mind to accept changes when they come. Accepting does not mean defeat but moving forward, learning from one’s mistakes and knowing that life itself is a play ground – a kin of game, where one is just a player with many others.

So if the student does not perform well in his examinations even after a good preparation or the prospective employee does not get the job despite a good performance, it does not mean life is brutish and cruel. It might mean that in the overall scheme of one’s life, there are still lessons to be learnt, or the job might after all be the best for one.

So it is important to keep moving forward, holding that picture of success, never letting it fade or diminish until one gets to the very top.
