From this part down to part 6 of this series, I'll be talking about Mental Limitation, its cause, effect and cure.
The mind as I've mentioned earlier is where the battle lies, and everything around us begins to change when we start changing our mindset.
Bishop David Oyedepo President of the Living Faith Church (aka Winners Chapel) has often said "there is no mountain anywhere, a man's ignorance is his mountain. This statement brings me to the Primary cause of mental limitation, that is IGNORANCE.
Ignorance is the state of being uninformed, its best described as lake of knowledge and understanding. I agree with the saying "if you are not informed, you'll be deformed" because lack of information leads to total deformation.
There's an age long adage that says "what you Dont know can't kill you" this has been one of the promoters of ignorance; and it has overtime proven to be wrong and detrimental. Its expedient that i state clearly that what you don't know kills you slowly.
Back in the 80's and early 90's in Nigeria, persons born with sickle cell anaemia were considered evil. They were said to have signed the number of years they would live - this belief was strengthened because these persons were likely to die before their 23 birthday. Parents offered countless sacrifice to their "gods" in order to prevent what turned out to be the inevitable. Unknowingly to them, they were the cause of the sufferings and pains that eventually led to the death of their children.
But as time went by, technology improved, researches were conducted, the main cause of that medical condition was discovered and a remedy was provided. Now we have very little cases of this disorder because the eyes of our understanding has been enlightened.
When you lack the right information, you become ignorant and when you are ignorant, you'll lose your vision and direction. Helen Keller made a profound statement, she said " A blind (ignorant) mind is worse than a blind eye" because you have eye's but still move about aimlessly.
Ignorance is a choice made by those who decide not to invest their time and resources in acquiring knowledge. Such persons always anticipate a better tomorrow without wanting to work for it.
Your today is the result of the actions, decisions, choices and investments you made yesterday; and your tomorrow will be the result of what you do today.
So make the right choices, the right decisions, actions and investments today, so they'll produce positive results tomorrow.
Invest in Knowledge, buy and read books, read online articles like this... Invest in building your Mind.
God Bless You....
