The Ability Within
Greetings loyal Halftime readers and those who may be reading this for the first time. We have been away for a while working on life and other things that come along with being a grown-up. Before I even proceed into my editorial I would like to make an announcement: Jbutters is officially engaged and will take the love stroll down the isle this year!!!!! Congrats!!! Now, lets get down to business.
Does the phrase “I can’t” always run through your mind? Ever feel so low you have to reach up to tie your shoe? Part of those thoughts and feelings are a result of depending on other people to make us feel whole as a individual. Our society has a way of making one feel worthless whether its through media, job or school. Many humans believe they have to be a certain way in order to obtain self fulfillment.
For example, the pictures of beautiful women and guys in fast cars and expensive clothes consistently thrown in a person’s face could cause for one to feel a need to be that way. Also, wanting to be associated with a certain group of people on the job and in school can cause for self esteem to plummet.
Our state of mind controls everything from feelings to performance. If we continue to convince ourselves we need things seen in the media or we have to be affiliated with a group how can we ever learn who we truly are. Trying to obtain status to receive the approval of others only temporarily fills the void.
In conclusion, we must look inside ourselves to find who we are by taking time out from society’s superficial surroundings and doing whatever it is YOU want to do. In order to succeed we must believe in ourselves, imagine ourselves in a superior place and speak positive things about ourselves into the atmosphere.
This has been a Revolution for the Mind.
