Most people live life with some level of awareness that something is less than ideal. Perhaps they are discontent with where they are in life, or maybe with their physical health or their relationships status. A sense that something is not right haunts people but it seems they are not haunted enough to work on changing the situation and expose the source of this feeling. The cause of this feeling, no matter what you determine the source may be, can be controlled. We can choose how we respond to situations and stimuli.
I’m sure you’ve heard people blame their upbringing, their finances, or million other things that may have influenced the journey they are in right now. Yes, these factors can be very influential indeed but, even so, they are often given greater power than they are rightfully due. The self limiting beliefs that attach to these stimuli often take control of the mind and your will becomes bound by something other than you. You become a prisoner to circumstances and outside sources when, in fact, your mind and will are absolutely yours to do with as you choose.
Various TV reality shows are an example of how people are sold a dream, as if it could and SHOULD be their destiny. The sad result is that viewers compare their own lives to that of rich celebrities and it sow discontent and envy becomes part of people’s subconscious responses.
In similar fashion, the news (local and international media) is a useful tool if you allow information to come to you for reasonable usage. We also know for certain that the news has been sensationalized and distorted in many cases. Taking in the news without mastery of your own mind can create anxiety and fear.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could take control? You can. Take control of your inputs. You have a choice. Choose better inputs or choose to be conscious of the influence that the inputs attempts to wield upon you. Daily there are external influences that can sow seeds in you. In other words,you are the field for other farmers to sow. The question is, what are you farming on your own ground? What crops do you want to grow? Do you want love? Real love? Relationships that last? What seeds do you sow to grow love? Do you want financial stability, even financial means and power? What seeds do you sow? Do you want influence, the type that changes a culture? The type where you get to sow good into others?
The choice is yours, you really have control. Each and every day you are allowing a farmer to work YOUR fields. Will you allow another farmer to tend to the fields of your life? Will you grow from envy, fear, and anger because others placed those seeds in you with your implicit permission? What if you plant your own seed into the soil of your life? What if you chose the fruit of your life’s labor? Control your outcomes, choose to sow seed for yourself.
The war is on, it’s everyone against you in a fight for the most valuable real estate in the universe: The Mind. Who will win? Is it someone else or maybe, just maybe… you can take ownership of your own attention and thoughts.
