Refresh Your Ideas

If a cooked food is left in a closet, say a kitchen and in a container for days like five without preservation, I can bet you know that it would have undergone a serous process of decomposition. It would by that time have become host to bacteria of various specie and enormous quantity or worse still, it must have been taken over by maggots of large and small sizes.

The food that was once decorated with all sorts of vegetables, beans, creams, meat, fish, egg, colorants, etc has after awhile become an eyesore with a suffocating stench. Some days back, this same food has the strength to engage anyone’s olfactory sense of perception from few meters away, neighbors don’t need be told to know that a special delicacy was been prepared somewhere around. But what are we left with? A stinking and, decomposing carefully combined organic substances.

The food was prepared to be enjoyed and to nourish the body but the bacterial activities on it over time has rendered it useless if not dangerous to the body if eaten. This is the same way outdated concepts our minds are programmed with make ideas stink. Goals may be good and reasonably achievable in the onset but because it has to go through those minds, they get infected in the process.

The bacterial concepts can however be installed by friends, relative, bosses, critics and even mentors. These bacteria are spread by comments, criticisms, or even a simple mocking laughter directed at one’s plans which could have been fruitful. This is why one should always be careful with keeping an open mind.

To avoid this bacterial infection, specific measures should be taken and these measures must be intentional. First, one must treasure his ideas and guard them from possible infections. They must be kept away from family, friends, colleagues etc that will possibly not think the way one thinks. This does not overrule the advice-seeking idea but care should be taken in choosing their source. Second, Read publications that will guide your ideas. How fantastic will it be if one’s idea is concerned with solving marital problem and you have good magazine, books, etc around to use from time to time? Three, this perhaps should have come first because it sounds to me the most important as it borders on YOU. Some people (not you anyway) are so pessimistic that they achieve anything by accident. They don’t see themselves as able to transform their ideas into reality. They always need someone’s help, which they are also sure of not getting. 90% of the greatest people the world ever know are those that see themselves as the only needed stuff to achieve whatever they want to achieve.

Work on these and you’ll see a tremendous change. Always remember that you are the captain of your Life’s ship. No other man will steer it for you except to his own advantage. See why it takes just you to realize your dreams and be who you really want to be. Luckily, you’re all yours.

See you on the field at harvest!
