| Rise up and never settle for defeat. (Advertising Age) Every great accomplishment in life comes from the power of thought. They are first conceived in the mind and later reflected into actions. To some, it might be the thought of pain, disappointment, guilts and shame or better still, love, faith and hope. All these thoughts arise due to accumulation of individual experiences which can either be negative or positive. Your thought is the centre of your life; it has the ability to control your thinking, your response to situations and the drive towards taking responsibilities. Once your mind is filled with negative emotions, thinking things or situations cannot get better as expected, then you are just starting or you are driving yourself to the land of impossibilities . Actions when taken, even when situations around aren't smiling, is a sure hope that you will have a safe landing by constant practice. Making the same mistake over and over again isn't a good starting point for any accomplishment; but the ability to correct, improve and change your negative approach towards situations. Napoleon Hill remarked "Millions of people believe themselves 'doomed' to poverty and failure, because of some strange force over which they believe they have no control . They are the creators of their own misfortunes because of this negative belief which is picked up by subconscious mind and translated into its physical equivalent." You must desire to see things differently, positively and hopefully. Whatsoever you conceive in your mind, you can achieve it. Our greatest limitations are those we set up in our minds. For a great change to happen in any nation, it must start from within. You must have a contributing mindset, thinking about how you can contribute to national development, turning your pain to gain- seeing possibilities and understanding the fact that your affliction is not a liability but an asset of great value. Considering yourself as an asset is a mindset, a thought of hardwork, resilience and excellence. Rise up and never settle for defeat. The man in the mirror is great; rise up and start thinking of how you can impact your world positively starting with your immediate environment.
