You cannot prosper beyond the prosperity of your mind, the prosperity and general advancement of a mans life is directly proportional to the prosperity of his mind, as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he, that is to say your mental picture determines your actual future.

You cannot live beyond your persuasion; how far you will go in life is a function of the destination on your mind. Your health, wealth, family and your total lives macro endeavour are at the mercy of the pictures on your mind. Whatever the mind can conceive, you can achieve. The mind is likened to the film in a camera, whatever it focuses on and snaps, the image of the said object is imprinted on the film, and when the pictures are produced, it differs not from the image snapped, so it is, there is no way you will achieve in life, what was never imprinted on your mind, just as the camera cannot produce what is not imprinted on the film.

One major ability of the mind is IMAGINATION; this is responsible for creative thinking. The imagination is esteemed to be the strongest force ever known to man, this is why God attacked the people that made up their minds to build a tower to the heavens in Genesis 11 :6, can you imagine that? There is nothing you can do to successfully stand against a made up mind, there is nothing as potent as a mind that is determined, not even God could stop them, why? Because they 've conceived it and their minds were made up.

There is a nation that has never known defeat, never lost in battle, it is a wonder to all nations, every nation bow in obeisance to it, it is the wealthiest of all, ironically, this nation is not in any continent of the world neither does it exist on the map ... confused? Don't be, that nation is the IMAGE NATION, then where is it you may ask, it is in you, it is your imagination.

Nevertheless, the good thing about the mind is that can be developed, if the mind is this important, then, something has to be done about it, to improve it s capacity and productivity. It is said that you will be the same for the next five years except for the books you read and the association you keep.

Therefore, dare to read, Helen Keller said "when books are opened we discover we have wings and can fly" what a statement of fact, whatever you need in life is locked up in some pages of a book. It is said that if you want to hide anything from an African put it in a book, he will never find it, how true is that? You can prove them wrong, go for knowledge, read books that are consistent with where you are going and the things you seek to know

Also your association will to a great extent determine the outcome of your life, we are all the products of the people that has influenced us over time, whether good or bad, therefore mind your association, because they soon will determine your values on which your life builds, you become what you see, hear and feel overtime; what you constantly look at, you eventually look like.

The information you have and the association you keep will create your values and mind set, which in turn create the outcome of your life. Whatever you invest in your mind will produce after its kind, and if you do it rightly, you will be the better for it. Only those you dare to use their minds constructively will ever register impact on the sands of time. Choose to invest in your mind, make it a priority, its your asset, its your life, guide it.
