The Mind Shaper
Today matters…say it, mean it and share it then get excited about it.
Today’s mind shapers would have you believe that you have to have a certain mindset to attain your vision. However, genuine and diligent seekers will find a path toward their worthy vision with skill, talent, passion, and faith. As I write these words, it is my intent for you to fully grasp these points or tools to make changes in your life. It is your responsibility to take them and use them so you may go further than the common man or woman.
Most of the time, the mind shapers don't ask the important questions. And those questions are simple. What did you succeed in yesterday? How did you succeed today? Where will you succeed tomorrow? When do you know that you have succeeded? Don’t over think this area, just focus on the process of growth in succeeding.
Seven years of growth has been rewarding for both myself and my family. But life wasn’t always this way. My struggles started early. Ea I was sexually abused, and then I was taken from my mother and placed into foster care. After that I suffered from the diseases of depression, drug addiction, and porn. Life was an absolute struggle and I wanted so much for it to end. To take my life like my brother Daniel did along the banks of the Colorado River one summer afternoon. I was at the lowest point in my life, the point of despair.
However, it was my Lord and Savior God, or Buddha, or Elijah or Muhammad, or Fate, or the Universe that saved me. Whatever you want to believe, know this…something was happening. And I embraced every moment of it with peace, love, patience, and charity. Did I struggle with certain things? Absolutely! But those are called growing pains. It was my subconscious and conscious mind being tested in that pain, however, it was my responsibility to overcome the pain in order to succeed. How? with selective intentness.
I started each day with change, embracing it and living it. I analyzed myself daily with strong observations and the conviction that I wanted to be a better man. I needed and wanted this life of success. But what is success? I have come to learn in my 38 years on this earth that true genuine success is peace of mind. And it is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you gave the best you were capable of giving in order to achieve the best you, you can be. You achieve in the area that you are short in and you ask for help when you need it. You avoid at all cost swelling up with pride, arrogance, foolishness, envy, cynicism, malice, and jealousy. Success, in reality, is being able to give and receive. Give your best and receive the reward. Every person that truly wants success will only see it if it is achieved with a worthy heart and mind.
Best,
