Memory = replays your past. Imagination = pre-plays your future.
Your mind comes with standard equipment and must be maintained and upgraded over your lifetime. Every life battle is in the mind. Your mind needs a hero and a focus. If you win in your mind, you succeed in your life. You will always act like the person you think you are. It would help if you had someone that excites you to motivate and inspire you. Your mind is on the prowl for knowledge. Therefore, it needs instruction. Direct your mind in the way it will go. The picture in your mind will direct your steps. Knowledge is the seed for change. Picture yourself in your mind and work steadily toward your goals. You’re not competing with anyone, so go at your own pace.
Humility
Humility seeks to ask questions where you may lack the knowledge. Humility seeks to understand more and recognize, whereas one might appear to be an arrogant know-it-all. We must apply understanding for it to work. It’s learning, sharing, and mostly asking. Nothing works without action, so request, seek, and learn more. Your self-portrait determines your behavior. How do you see yourself? Something you need to recognize will cost you later. Anything you cannot recognize will leave your life. e.g., health, financial. Use wisdom to discern your needs. Knowledge allows you to identify opportunities to better your condition.
Distractions
Annoying people will not voluntarily leave your life. Those same naysayers will continue until you decide to discontinue them. Genuine friendships may cost time, energy, and even money. Re-evaluate the people in your life. Nurture good relationships with people, inspire, encourage, and learn. Nothing kills a relationship like ignorance and stupidity. Ignorance is not knowing, and stupidity is not caring to know. Avoid judgment, but use wisdom for those lasting relationships. Go where you are celebrated, not tolerated.
Mindset
Wisdom is to use discernment, and accurate knowledge is a seed that leaves clues. Whatever you are, you reproduce. e.g., orange seeds produce oranges; wood reproduces wood chips; bears reproduce other bears. To grow your seeds of knowledge is to become better. Knowledge is facts, information, and skills gained by a person through experience or education, the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. Wisdom is acting on the knowledge received and understanding it to form the best decision or course of action.
Be careful what you feed your mind. The knowledge seeds of negativity can grow just as abundant. These things are tools most cannot adhere to, and they cause anxiety. To succeed, you must have discipline, wisdom, and the ability to recognize learning opportunities. Success is your ability to have anything worthwhile. You may have several successes over your lifetime, small and large. Both major and minor successes help build confidence and back your faith in truisms. Be sure to avoid majoring in little things. These are your first set of building blocks to a significant starting point for success.
