THE PICTURE

Make me ME
Lord I plead
That YOU make me ME
Not the me myself wants to be
But the ME that YOU see
Lord I plead That YOU make me ME

 My heart cries
In YOU my hope lies
On my own I have tried But 'unfulfilment' I have realised
The End draws closer, The time flies Lord
I plead That YOU make me ME

Die! You self
That by HIS strength, I will walk to be THE PICTURE
Not that brother's,
Not that sister's
But the One MY MAKER made for my future

Yes! I see
Yes! I focus
THIS PICTURE I will be
For the lost, For the found to see
That Christ has made me ME.

MIND, POWER AND SUCCESS

The mind plays an important role in achieving every kind of success and goal, minor, everyday goals or major goals.

With minor or day-to-day goals, one usually knows what he or she wants to do or get, but when it comes to major goals, most people don't know what they really desire. They desire to do something big, but they don't know what. They might have a vague idea, but this is not enough.

To accomplish anything, and to use your mind power, you have to know exactly what it is you want to do. To focus your mind power on a goal, you need to have a clear and well defined goal. How do you go about that?

You have first to think or meditate, to find out what is it that you want to accomplish or gain. This might not be a simple step, and requires deep thinking, investigation and time.

After discovering what you really want to accomplish, you need to come up with a plan for action. You need to know what you have to do first and how to proceed. All of this requires planning, which means using the power of the mind.

After deciding on a goal and coming up with a plan, you need to hold in your mind a clear mental image of your goal. You need to see it accomplished. This step requires that you use your imagination, which is another power of the mind. Not everyone can visualize clear mental images, but regular training of the imagination can do wonders. You may, for example, look at photos of what you want to achieve, and then close your eyes, and try to see it in your imagination. This will enhance your ability to visualize.

At this point you have to display patience, self-discipline and the power to persist in your efforts. This requires a one pointed mind.

Affirmations are another useful mental tool for achieving success. What you affirm sinks into the subconscious mind, becomes part of the subconscious mind, and consequently affects your behavior and actions. If your affirmations are positive, they lead you to success.

Another important power of the mind is thought transference. You need to be able to transmit your thoughts to other people, who would aid you with your plans. Often, you have to persuade others to invest in your plans or to help you in other ways. It is not enough just to talk with them, you need to believe in what you are saying; you need to be enthusiastic and persuasive, otherwise they won't listen and won't care. You need to be able to reject your and their doubts. To be able to do so, you need concentration, control over your thoughts, willpower, self-discipline and patience. All these are mental tools and skills.

Motivation is another mental and emotional power that you require for achieving success. How can you achieve anything if you are not motivated enough? To increase your motivation and enthusiasm, think often of your goal, about its advantages and benefits, and how it will change your life. Doing so, will strengthen your motivation.

Your thoughts, which are part of your mind, possess power. The thoughts that you most often think tend to come true. If you pour your mental energy into the same thoughts or mental images day after day, they will become stronger and stronger, and would consequently affect your attitude, expectations, behavior and actions. These thoughts and mental images can even be subconsciously perceived by other people, who would then offer you help or opportunities. Your thoughts can also create what is usually termed as coincidence. They can attract into your life corresponding events, situations and opportunities.GOD GIVE YOU THE KNOWLEDGE TO UNDERSTAND THIS.SEE YOU LATER.BYE

EFFECTIVE PLANNING

Your brain will work tirelessly to achieve the statements you give your subconscious mind. When those statements are your goals, you are certain to achieve them! Giving yourself goals can be tricky however, and your subconscious mind needs things put a certain way.

You need to be specific with yourself. The more specific you are with your goal, the more
your brain has to go on to make just those things happen.
Remember, vague goals produce vague results. Don ’t be afraid to be detailed with what you want! Write it all down as if you were putting in an order. Your subconscious will make it happen for you by steering you toward those opportunities. Your goals might seem a bit overwhelming at first glance. But look again! Do you see how your goals can be broken down into a series of steps? When looking up a recipe you do not simply find in large letters “Perfect Lasagna Every Time.” No! That of course is the end result, just like your goal.

The recipe is there to help you achieve that goal. Create your own recipe for your goal. Break it down. What needs to be done first and next and after that? Keep writing the steps until you reach the goal. Here’s a fun fact to help you attain your goals: your brain does not know the difference between actually doing something and just visualizing something being done. Your brain processes the two the same way! Have you ever imagined yourself making a total flop out of yourself moments before you really do? That is because your brain really experienced it when you visualized it. And as stated earlier, your brain will work to make happen whatever is being inputted. So what do you daydream about? Do you visualize yourself being successful? Do you visualize other people judging you? What you think about, you bring about! Make it a habit to spend time visualizing your goals in detail as if you are living them right now. Do it every day, several times a day!

Your brain will be functioning as if your goals are already attained. You will start being the person you  want to be simply because that is what is being processed in your brain. Your brain will make you notice all the resources available to you that you never noticed before. You will attract all the things you need to accomplish your goal. Don’t visualize what it will be like, visualize what it is like! Live it right now in your mind, everything in the present tense. What does it look like right now? What does it sound like and smell ike? How does it  feel?
Create these detailed images and show your brain what it all looks like already complete. Your brain brings to your awareness only the things that match your beliefs about yourself, others, and the world. Everything else it filters out. When you visualize your completed goals in detail, your brain filters out everything that doesn ’t pertain to those goals! Write down your goals, break them down into achievable bits and every night visualize them completed. Then every morning visualize them completed. Take the time that is necessary to go through each goal in detail. Trust this process; the power of your brain has been greatly undervalued in the achievement of your goals!
