FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Power Of An Open Mind
There are two categories of people in this life: People who live with an open mind and those who live with an open mouth. Talk is cheap but good thoughts are expensive. Good thoughts emanate from people who have open mind. They're the leaders others look up to when the chips are down.
Keeping one's mind open is hard work because there are so many things in this world that can easily cause you to open your mouth wide. The danger in always keeping your mouth open is that you can never think creative thoughts when your mouth is open. The mouth is constructed like a door that's why it should be closed sometimes.
Successful people keep an open mind to every issue and chart their way through every obstacle of life with creative thoughts. Life is not about winning arguments; it's about leveraging on positive thoughts and acquired knowledge.
People with open mind love instructions while people with open mouth love recognition even when they've achieved nothing. Instructions lead to life and fulfillment. The book of Proverbs 4:1-4 says, "Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live."
Your level of success is a function of your thoughts. You can never go far in life if your mind is closed. A closed mind leads to a closed destiny. One of our core competences in the School of Professional Mentoring & Capacity Building(SPMCB) is that we have regular interactive sessions that mentees and resource persons leverage on to become better.
Open up your mind and move to the ultimate level God has destined for you. There's power in an open mind, discover it!
See You At The Top In 2016. #MoreGrace!
