SPRINGBOARD - the power within you!


Whatever a man thinketh, so is he....
Positive thinking has been identified as very vital to successful living. It keeps one going and helps suppress pessimism. Most people often are too busy worrying over negativities ,that they do not see anything good in this world. It is about time we take time to reflect the goodness of this life, the good times, no matter how few they may be.
You are what you think. People may see you in different angles; some positive, others negative, yet, the most important view of yourself is what you perceive yourself to be. Take this analogy for instance, there are many types of mirrors, some reflect the exact image, others refract, and others either diminish the size of the image or increase it. This can pass for how different people may hold different views of you, so that you can not know which one is really true, thus your own analysis of yourself would be the best. In this case, it means you have the sole responsibility of either projecting yourself into the limelight or quenching your hopes in life.
It is important to be happy with yourself. Accept your present situation and make moves to better it. Know that life is in stages and that your present situation will not last forever. Be happy with yourself and others will also find it proper to appreciate you. Delight yourself in improving your lot too.
See the beauty in you. You should know that you are beautiful in your own special way. You don't need anyone to tell you. You should be the first to notice that, so that if anyone tells you again you'll not be surprised or overwhelmed.
Be at peace with yourself. Often times, we have internal struggles with ourselves. Our thoughts compete within us. There are several things we think about and these things all compete for a chance to be realised. Fortunately, you have the sole responsibility of selecting which of these thoughts to put into action. It is difficult though when our thoughts confuse us for hours, days and even weeks. Sometimes our thought can imprison us into confusion, boredom and inaction. Being at peace with yourself will mean to bring sanity and calm within your thoughts. You need to relax, meditate or ponder orderly over your thoughts. Sometimes you may need a quiet place, listen to some kind of music, close your eyes or even take a walk to do this successfully. Inner peace is all that is required as you choose which thoughts to put into action. This is the way to generate great ideas and discoveries which will make you a better person.
It is therefore clear that in order to appreciate ourselves we need to renew our mindset and look within us for answers to life's challenges. In order to soar higher, we need to take a leap on the springboard (that is a positive outlook of life).This will make others see our worth in this world. It's within you!
