Topic: Exercising the Mind [Thursday August 13, 2015]
“But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”-Hebrews 5:14
An interesting story about the man Isaac Newton, a renowned physicist, popularly known for propounding the law of gravity, is told. It was said that he was once under an apple tree when an apple fell on his head and so he began to ponder on why the apple fell all the way to the ground and didn’t stop mid-air. He thought of the pulling force behind it and that brought about the law of gravity which is known to all today.
An exercise of the mind is your gateway to outstanding discoveries. Great inventions are made by those who meditate on the “seemingly” normal circumstances.
In you are great potentials, but your mind plays a vital part in bringing them out. One way you can exercise your mind is by studying. My husband says in one of his books. “No matter how gifted you are, how studious you are is what determines how colourful your [life] will be.”
Your mental capacity is so broad that it can accommodate and process almost any information; but until you exercise it to do that, it would remain ordinary to you. Don’t just seat on empty dreams, think discoveries and innovations, think big and wide, but back it up with as much information as you can gather.
Yes, you have greatness inside of you, but the knowledge you gather is what sharpens your mind for exploits. The major difference between a success and a failure is [the utilization of] information. When you gather positive resources and ponder on the information gotten, you receive inspiration for new innovations. Through positive exercise of the mind, you can break new grounds, and that’s what brings out the star in you. Exercise that mind today!
Remain Blessed!
