YOUR MIND IS YOUR CAPITAL! by Cyril

I was privileged to be part of an amazing conference- a youth conference- organized by The Believers’ LoveWorld Nation and hosted by (the great) Rev. Chris Oyakhilome, PhD. At the opening night of that conference, he shared a message he titled “Your Mind is Your Capital.” A lot was said about the power we store within us and how possible we can be anything we want to be. I strongly recommend you get that message.

Months later (after the conference), I found myself in a discussion with folks who obviously didn’t understand this life of possibility and greatness, sadly there are people who stay negative all day, everyday. A fellow there was offended with the message rather than inspired and motivated to take actions. He complained that the speaker was trying to make things so simple “without putting other forces- economic and all- into consideration.” Hmm… well, I felt sorry for him for being so determined to be a passive player in life.

This came to my mind today because a story of a beautiful woman I came across. She has a physical problem (I am not sure if she was born with it or came by accident) - she has no limbs, I mean no legs. But do you know what? She refused to allow that condition take control of her life and she turned out a respected model. Amazing!

Our world is full of people who have overcome incredible odds to become famous, powerful and world changers. Each time I hear, read or see these people, I remind myself that my mind is my capital. All I have is ALL I NEED! If you did Sciences in school you would have come across “Euler’s Therorem.” I read about Euler, that in the last seventeen years of his life, he was blind. But very notably, his work and contribution to knowledge was not diminished in quality and quantity. Your Mind is Your Capital!

Dear reader, you have no reason to be a loser, failure or poor…. Take up the challenge, believe in yourself, see your triumph, and fight; fight for the realization for your dreams and potentials. There’s room for you at the top. Again, FIGHT! This is your time, don’t think it’s later; your life is happening right now!

It is not easy out there, in this cruel and difficult world, I know, but the kingdom of God is within you. Go out and win! FIGHT!!!
