A PENNY IS NOT ENOUGH FOR YOUR THOUGHTS

I was absorbed in my thoughts and I hadn’t noticed we passed my Bus Stop. My mind was preoccupied with so many thoughts and I didn’t realize where I was until the bus conductor yelled “Oga! Na the last bus stop be this, abi you no know where you dey go?” That instant I realized that my thoughts have carried so far away from my destination. Thoughts can sometimes be very powerful, which is why people are prepared to give you a penny for your thoughts?

The consequence of this is that people are willing to part with something in order to know what we are thinking because it is of some value to them. Therefore, if our opinion is so valuable, then why don’t we just put our own price tag on it? Even Facebook will ask you what’s on your mind. If it is not important to them, am sure they won’t bother to find out.

Our thoughts are the only thing we truly own, therefore we can make them extremely valuable to ourselves or to someone who wishes to actually pay for them. Our true worth is measured by our thoughts, words and actions. Everybody has the power to decide what they think about. We can choose to harbor any thought but we always have to realize that our thoughts projects our prosperity. Ask any wealthy man what they always think about, it is likely to be how they will make more fortune.

The ingenious inventions literary and artistic works; designs; and logos that we have today came from someone’s thought. Great Ideas are formed out of great thoughts and everything (both good and bad) that mankind has achieved started from the mind. The mind is the generator of thoughts and is a very powerful instrument that gives back the thoughts that we have processed in it. When we fill our mind with positive thoughts, we begin to make some progress. Positive results mostly come from positive thinking. All we have to do is to believe in our ideas and act on them to produce the right results.

If you keep thinking the same way, you will keep getting the same results out of life. A lot of energy is burnt on thinking, whether it’s negative and positive. Whenever you have a negative thought, change that thought and focus on something more valuable. This is because the brain needs a lot of energy to think. Let me break it down a little. If you are spending 1,000 Naira on food to sustain your body, your brain alone will gulp 200 Naira out of that. So, one-fifth of the entire resources you need to nurture yourself. So when you waste your energy only thinking of unproductive things, you are robbing yourself.

Your thoughts are the generators that supply energy to your life. Utilize every thought to develop your ideas. Don’t forget to take action on it. If you want to lead a prosperous life, then lead with your thoughts and think yourself to greatness.
