Life in your mind

Written by Netisha Alie 

Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.-Romans 12:2 New Living Translation

Can one truly control their mind? Do you need to learn to control it? Your mind is the part of you that allows you to feel, perceive, think, will and reason (Merriam Webster Dictionary.) Sounds like quite a 'setting' to me. With so much going on in such a space, you'd believe that we are more considerate to others, nah! Many are of the perception that age makes you 'have it all together' and you do not need help. Media plays on the strings on people's minds daily, striking melodies of its choice. Taking many into an endless limbo of control. 

One of the benefits of a true life in Christ is that He takes your mindset on another level that is beyond the natural world. 

Of course I am fully aware that not everyone in this beautiful world believes in God :). However, in spite of your beliefs, everyone simply does what works for them. There is a common ground though, we all have a mind and in it A LOT of things happen. Some claim to have peace of mind, others lose their mind and there are those who have constant battles within the most powerful tool of their existence. -The Mind! 

Many claim that each other are deceived and countless others 'charge' into battle on a quest to find 'The Truth'! What we fail to understand as humans is the wisdom that was bestowed upon us is constantly misused to make us ignorant. -Blinded by the facts before our very eyes. Some get lost in all the charade and simply cannot comprehend forces against them. Then the unthinkable happens and everyone is making intelligent remarks and offering solutions to a problem that has been there way before this tragic end. Youth take their lives physically through suicide or mentally (psychotic breakdowns). Yet many fail to see the bigger picture.

We have joined a line of norms to pursue endless goals that traps us into a system where failure to think independently and question occurrences is the dominating aim. 'WHEN' will we awake from our slumber to recon the gift of inspiration and intelligence we have been given, and use it to connect with each other deep enough to know that though we are everything status can offer, we are HUMAN? Get up each day, get to know You, accept You, guard your MIND against the sleazy tricks of mind controllers and focus on what makes YOU happy, rather than what seems to be making others happy. We truly are not all the same!!! ;)  

How much longer will we neglect cohesive progress and sort after selfish gains that result in unhappiness? Many believe material things are what we need to keep up with the latest trends fed to us as 'vital' is bliss. Who are you fooling? 

Every human wants one thing; TO BE HAPPY! And unless you know what takes you to that place you will forever remain in the mind games of those who do and never advance to the next level because you're too blind following to see that you are being oppressed.
