When our mind speaks 🧡

A FATHER AND HIS DAUGHTER❗️

Moral Story Of The Day.

A father sent his little daughter to spend the holidays with family members. When the girl returned home, he asked her. 

"So tell me honestly, did you enjoy your holidays?"

She responded.
"Everyone was nice to me apart from Aunty Nancy. She seems too harsh and I have a feeling that she hates me" 

He asked.
"Why? What makes you think so?" 

The little girl replied.  
"Firstly, she doesn't respond to my greetings no matter how many times I greet her. Secondly, there was a day I helped her find her missing watch but she didn't even say 'thank you'. And thirdly, she never interacted with me like others did, and has never spoken to me before. She's so unbelievable" 

The father remarked.
"Really? So, what is her reaction when you greet her?" 

The girl uttered.
"She would pretend not to notice me"

The father paused for a moment and said. 

"I think you're right. Nancy is truly a bad Aunty, and I think she really hates you. So, henceforth, you would try as much as possible to avoid her" 

Just then, the father let out a chuckle that surprised her. He touched her arm, and with a smile on his face, he said. 

"That was the voice of your mind speaking. Your mind has cooked up all negative stories about your Aunty, making it difficult to realize that she is deaf and dumb. Aunty Nancy is unable to hear or speak, so all your assumptions about her are wrong. That's how our minds are. The mind can be a very convincing liar. It simply makes up stuffs. With little or no evidence, it creates negative stories about the world and ourselves. So you shouldn't believe everything you think. And most importantly, if you can win over your mind forever, you can achieve anything in your life".

I want to reveal a big secret today. We have seen charcoal one way or the other and we might have used it to do many things. Charcoal is commonly known to be used for cooking. What if I tell you that charcoal has a lot of benefits! When you don't know the benefits of something, you won't know that you can use it for many things.

Glow of the 🧡

How many times we said fake goodbyes but those persons were just more present in our hearts and souls than ever? Didn't we pretend we let go of people and things, yet in our deepness we knew we actually never did? And on the other hand, for how many times we secretly knew our feelings changed towards someone yet we keep doing our best to pretend it didn't, maybe because they are so dear, maybe because of our glorious past but in our deepness we know it's no longer the same, for how many times we let go of things we loved but we keep acting that they are still our choices. And the questions remain does all this mean forever? Will we fall again for what departed us? Will we let go of what enslaved us for so long? Will we say a true goodbye and an honest hello?

See you at the TOP ❤️

SECRET OF WINNING  You see the champions holding trophies. You see the entrepreneurs on magazine covers. You hear the applause. But what you don't see is more important. Early mornings: While most are sleeping, the winner is awake. Grinding. Improving. Why? Because opportunities don't wait for alarm clocks. Extra reps: That one more effort when the muscles scream, "No!" The additional hour spent on refining a skill. Going the extra mile, literally and figuratively. Why? Because ordinary doesn't win. Long days: Eight hours? Not enough. Nine? Nope. Winners clock in when they start and never really clock out. Why? Because dreams don't have office hours. Brutal reflection: Looking at failure in the face. Accepting mistakes. Analyzing shortcomings. Why? Because growth doesn't come from delusion. Personal growth: Always learning. Always adapting. Always climbing. Why? Because success is a moving target. Sounds harsh? Maybe. Let's consider Michael Jordan. Not...
