Social Media

A dreadful disservice you can offer yourself is relinquishing your thinking responsibility to social media (SM). Your mind is too precious to be a dumpsite for every post you stumble upon. Just so you know, the litmus test for you being educated is not in your class of degree but in how well you've trained your mind to think, and the curiosity to learn. Fallen short of this put your degree in question. Absorbing or acting upon without filtering every post on SM will unknowingly but subtly make you find life plunging you into waterloo if you're careless. It is pertinent at this point to know that SM is riddled with more ignorance than wisdom. So consider it expedient you don't patronize or allow every thought to get a foothold in your mind, it doesn't matter the number of likes or who's selling it.

Imagine someone coming to terms that being born in Nigeria is a disadvantage already; and that automatically life is leading you 1 - 0. Alas, you see thousands of people liking and sharing the post! This is a loser mindset. It means you've already conceded defeat without putting up a fight. You are the one jinxing yourself not your village people. It is pertinent to let you know that God doesn't make mistakes. You may have been born as a parental accident but you're not a divine accident. He has a purpose for your life in this country.

Who knows, you may have been designed to become the next Moses who will see to the nation's exodus from Egypt, but you may lose it with the psyche that you're already in a disadvantaged country. You become what you believe and repeatedly do. And if you want to know how effective your thinking is, simply look at the results you are getting and how good you naturally feel. Not satisfied with the result? I hope this makes you see the need to start thinking positively and censor what people try to make you believe. Just as Jim Rohn said, if someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need the motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around.

You're what you think!
