GROW YOUR MIND
INVEST IN YOURSELF (GROW YOUR MIND)
But their minds were blinded:......2 Corinthians 3:14
When we talk about "Grow Your Mind" we mean how to take the world to the next level,move to the next level.Here are some of the steps to grow your mind.
1) INVEST TIME IN CREATIVITY. Our creativity doesn’t have to diminish as we get
older. In fact, it is believed that the peak of creativity in most people is
around 30-40 years old. Creativity can be the catalyst in the manifestation of
continual learning and lifelong activity. It allows us to be inspired, have fun
and appreciate the beauty in the world.
It is very important to manage your time
effectively because time is so valuable. Make an audit of how you generally
spend your time each day to see if you are prioritizing correctly. You may be
surprised to learn that you spend too much time checking and updating your
status on Facebook, Whatsapp ,looking at your phone, hitting the snooze button on your
alarm and lazing in bed, watching frivolous reality TV, daydreaming, sitting in
a bar, etc. Create a schedule that forces you to invest your time in the things
that are most important.2) Invest in building your confidence. People who know their value, have something to say and others will listen. You can invest in yourself by developing an understanding of the value that you possess and offer others. Learn to have the courage to speak your truth. The more you love yourself and own the value that you offer, the more confident you will become in sharing it with others.
3) Read educational books. Books or audio
books are an awesome resource to build your knowledge and expertise in any
area.
Reading is a fantastic way to invest in yourself. It also is a relatively cheap
activity and can even oftentimes cost nothing. With the advent of the Kindle,
iPad and Nook, it is even easier to find great reading material. Reading
regularly has tremendous benefits. It stimulates your imagination, improves
your vocabulary, increases your general knowledge, helps you relax, allows you
to tap into the minds of great thinkers, assists you in solving problems, and it
can be tremendously entertaining. Almost all the great leaders in this world
spend time reading. Learn a new skill.
The
secret to success in anything you do in life is to never stop learning. Whether
you’ve earned an advanced degree or you’re just starting out in a new career,
it’s always important to continue to learn new skills. It’s especially
important to learn new skills that are transferable from one career to another.
This ensures that you will remain marketable in an increasingly competitive economy.
Take new courses or apply for online classes. Increase your
knowledge of things that interest you. If you want to expand your skill set but
you’re not sure where to start, look at this list of new
skills you can learn.
4. Get Rid of
Toxic Friends
Having good friends is an important aspect of life. But having friends who are a positive influence is even more important. Be discriminate when choosing your friends and get rid of the ones who are negative, problem-laden, unmotivated, and who do not care about bettering themselves. To a large extent, you are a product of your environment and this includes the company you keep. Find friends that share your values.

5. Forgive
Holding a grudge and being angry with someone
only holds you back in life. Scientific studies have shown that forgiveness
actually is better for your health. It frees up energy that can be better used
elsewhere. You will be happier and have better relationships. You will also
become more empathetic and retain more control over your life.
Very inspiring. Friends can make and unmake us.
