Would you like to be happy, successful, fulfilled, rich, remembered as a hero? I bet you would and i am telling you now that it is VERY POSSIBLE for you to become and actualize all those dreams you have for yourself. You don’t have to envy anyone. You can become even better and greater than the person you envy by understanding one simple principle about who you are. I know some of you would be in doubt already, and asking, how is this possible given my circumstances? My parents are poor, I didn't have an education, I don't have money to start a business, my family is against my career, I don't have good friends I can trust and share my ideas and feelings with, am no good for anything, am blind, am deaf am dumb am this am that and the excuses keeps heaping up.

The reason why people fail to actualize and achieve the dreams and goals they desire in life is because of SELF DOUBT- the one single phenomena that has led many to die horrible deaths and take to the graveyard all the great things they could have given to life and to the world. Now let me share one truth with you, and this truth is the only secret to success in life. It is the only truth to self-actualization and the secret to being happy and having all that you desire. Here it goes: Ephesians 4:23 "..and be renewed in the spirit of your mind."
Everything you are today or will be tomorrow begins and ends in your mind! Let me give you a definition of what mind is before I try to explain why and how you need to renew the spirit of your mind to become what you desire or aspire in life.
Mind: (1) the element or complex of elements in an individual that feels, perceives, thinks, wills, and especially reasons.
(2) The conscious mental events and capabilities in an organism.
Following the above definition by Merriam-Webster Dictionary, it is possible to conclude that your existence and purpose as well as your achievements are all embedded in your mind. Your mind is the you in you without which you are not you. If you take a closer look to understand the first and second definition of the mind, you will come to the realization that without your mind, you cannot feel, perceive, think, will or reason. Without your mind, you are simply not living or alive. You are unconscious. So, for you to want to be rich, successful, and happy is in the first place your ability to use your mind. So if you can feel to want to be happy and think about it, you can as well through the same mind create those things you desire to make you happy and successful in life.
Now, if you are not happy with your life or who you are now, it’s simply because your mind is telling you something differently and you are not in control of it. You have only allowed it to sway as the wind without a destination or control. Maybe you have allowed someone else to control your mind for you but now is the time for you to take over your mind and steer it in the direction you want. This is the process of renewing your mind. Take charge and control your mind by feeding it those things that you want by believing in yourself that you have the power to create your circumstances and not allow anyone do it for you. By understanding that you can, through your mind control your external environment gives you unlimited powers and sets you on the path of actualizing all your dreams.
The bible was written many years ago, this secret has been there in the open but many have not been able to come to terms with it. Many people today are born and raised with a mindset. Some have been told they can never be better, they can never read, that they can never be rich because their family will always be poor since their great grandfather was poor, or think for themselves, that they are incapable to do things other people do because of their biological makeup, but history has proven this to be wrong... some people has been told that they can never survive a particular ailment or disease, but by the renewing of their mind and believing a different report they have surmounted all challenges and have doomed those who said they cannot be better, survive or think.
You need to get away from that mindset that you have followed and allowed to control you for many years of your life and begin a new thought process that will usher in a cleansing of your mind. First, you need to know that earth, this place we all are, does not belong to any one but to all of us and that earth's resources both the visible and invisible ones are available for us to tap into, use and control to our benefit and glory of the creator. No one came to earth with anything. Those who have achieved one thing or the other are those who early enough understood the secret of the mind and were disciplined to control it and use it to pursue their dreams to a logical conclusion.
Renew your mind and blossom. Begin another journey of your life, change your circumstances, and decide your destiny by simply being in control of your mind - what you feed it and what you allow it to feed on.
Have a wonderful journey in your new endeavour!
