Breakfast for a Vacant Mind
View(s):Health science allots great importance to the need of a healthy breakfast for the human body. Yet, it is indeed so sad to witness that even the people who have a healthy breakfast, struggle the entire day because their mind is not strong enough to face the daily battles. The entire world should prioritise attaining a healthy breakfast for the mind, it should be the first and foremost focus even above a healthy physical breakfast. Altering your body is of no use if your mind is paralised and crippled.
The success of a person is reliant on the perfect alignment of his body and mind. There are many people who may be physically disabled yet they walk victoriously as their minds are rich and healthy. You cannot find a single man who can walk successfully if his mind is unstable even though he is physically fit. You are your mind. In other words, you are your thoughts. This is the reason people do not even address you by your name when you are dead, you do not exist when your mind is dead. They address you as the remains, and mention that the remains will be at the funeral parlour.
The very first thing many people feed their minds every morning is unhealthy and corrupt food. Straight from bed they turn towards their FB or Instagram or whatever the tool they have identified as pleasurable, mostly they are full of discrimination, judgment, hatred, jealousy, anger, bitterness and many other poisonous content. If I ask someone “would you add poison to your breakfast?” he would most probably say “You are out of your mind Philip”. Yet, what they do not know is that they are doing exactly the same every morning by feeding their mind poison as the very first thing every morning. The elderly people who are not tech savvy would initiate a conversation with a neighbour or anyone around them and converse about all unnecessary and poisonous thoughts that provoke hatred, anger, worry and fear.
Your brain is exactly the same as the google search engine. The moment you seek assistance, It constantly derives for the most searched and reviewed sources. If you sow corruptive seeds at the inception of the day you walk through the day with the same corrupt and frustrated mind rather than a healthy and clear mind. When destruction has entered the top most space of your mind, you will struggle the entire day as you do not have what it takes to fight the battles in the closest shelves of your brain. Why do you think some of the famous brands in the word still keep on advertising their products? They could simply say that they are famous enough not to make any advertising noise.
Our mind tends to jump into conclusions with the sources that are available, therefore, if a brand could sit in the minds of their consumers, then when the moment of making a decision arises, they will feed their minds with the information that is stored at the top of their minds. That is why Mornings are a very crucial part of the day that affects your daily mind battle. The world should be more mindful of the content they feed their minds every morning.
Every morning, I do not touch my phone nor talk to anyone including my beautiful wife until I have spoken to my beliefs. I immediately go on my knees and talk to my beliefs and feed myself and encourage myself with all the powerful thoughts that I need to face my day. I want you to be alarmed with the reality that there will not be a single day that passes by without facing a challenge in your life. Just as an empty trash bin is open for rubbish, so is your mind after a closure of six (06) hours of sleep your mind is free and vacant for anything in the morning. The first thing in the morning, the various thoughts that were stored in you yesterday will try to invade you. Hurtful feelings, thoughts of rejection, bitterness as a result of something painful that happened the previous day, fearful thoughts due to health issues, worrisome thoughts about job security, thoughts of anxiety of meeting ends and many other negative oriented thoughts would fly around your mind with the anticipation that you would open your mind gates to them allowing them to sit comfortably within you. That is why it is important to provide your mind a breakfast with thoughts that have a high impact which are directly attached to your purpose in life.
As a policy I do not entertain leisure calls of my friends until 3.00pm in the afternoon. I believe that it is the most productive time frame of a person’s day, wasting it unproductively will certainly be a waste. Many fruitless days are bound to offer you depression, where one day you will realise that your tree of life does not bear any fruit for you nor your loved ones. As a CEO I have no option as to who can enter my room or not, but as a smart practice I give late appointments to those who are negative in nature. Sometimes, I directly tell people to their face, not to discuss and gossip with me as I am not willing to entertain it.
Just as we live on oxygen, food and water there are people who gossip and mischaracterise others at least a few times a day if not they do not feel that they are alive. Nevertheless, just like an alcoholic who feels miserable if they do not consume alcohol, these gossip slanders and misery planters will feel empty from within. The question I am laying before you is “are you their trash bin to dump every poisonous substance they have in them?”.
Yesterday, I received a message from an Australian entrepreneur stating that my writings are life transforming. I felt really happy about it that I kept meditating on that good vibe for a while as we must meditate on things that are morally pure, honourable, praiseworthy, lovely, of good report and have the ability to motivate and shed love to the world. Just look around you for a moment, look at the people who surround your innocent children, as the world is saturated with people who are immoral, vicious, reporting bad, demotivating and destructive.
Assist your children to filter their associations. I could not filter mine as a youngster, I ended up wallowing myself in a muddy pit of pain and misery. Talk to your children every morning with inspiration and motivation rather than with harsh words, that have the possibility of crippling their thoughts before the day has even begun. Talk to them with loving words that motivate them to face the day. When discipline is wrapped in love, it makes it fruitful but the moment correction is cloaked with anger, it does not result in a good outcome.
Assume that your mind is accidentally polluted early in the morning due to a certain reason or a group of people, the practice I follow is that I isolate myself for a few mins in a lonely place and close my eyes and clear my mind by saying that I erase all that I listened to and entertained and that I cancel all the negativity I have spoken out during that time. Once you have erased, cleaned and cancelled pollution, then it is essential that you replace it with good, inspirational and motivating ideas that are purpose led thoughts. I am not perfect hence I am vulnerable to errors. Yet, the moment I realised that I have made a mistake I go through the process of accepting and cleansing.
The place you choose to do this does not have to be a beautiful place. For me, it is mostly the washroom, as I am not free to do it in a CEO room. Sometimes, I cry if the damage I have done is large. Yet, I make sure that I refill my mind with good, inspiring, motivating, thriving, contributing thoughts and I make sure that my mind is segregated only for the good such as joy and peace.
