The Human Mind 6
Hi, welcome to Leading Right. I am Abiodun Fijabi.
Ever being at a weaving factory before? I bet you have. I love the local weaver. His dexterity is unmatched. In his loom, he is a master. He lays out the yarn with precision, reflecting the design in his mind. Then, he weaves the yarn with gusto. Soon a pattern forms. Soon, the pattern is repeated. The end result is a colourful fabric. He beholds his handiwork and he beams with smiles. He is a creator of some sort and he has just brought into the world a creative piece of astounding beauty. If it were you, you would do more than smile. You would celebrate the birth of a masterpiece and rejoice in your creative ability. You would imagine the fabric tailored into a beautiful dress. You would picture it on a lady with the just the right figure. As she marches on, you would be breathless. Who would not be?
Did I hear you say, “But I am not a weaver and I do not own a loom? You would be wrong to say that. Your mind is your loom. You have always had it. You were actually born with it. It is one of your distinctive features as a human being. The loom is a complete factory with capabilities beyond your imagination. It can produce any design and match any beauty. The loom has only one limitation – the weaver. And that is you. Yes, you are the weaver. You own the loom. You own that factory with unlimited capability. Your mind is limitless. And in a way, you too are. God has ensured that by creating you in His class. Even then, you limit your output by the design you contemplate in your mind. Your loom can only produce your design. If you want to be adventurous, your loom responds to your adventurous desire. If you desire to be resilient, your mind produces a staying power. If you are committed to love, your mind creates passion. If you choose to live healthily, your mind creates vitality.
How does your loom work? It makes use of the yarn. Each thread of yearn is a thought lodged into the factory of your mind. If you are a good weaver, you will be dexterous in your loom. You will carefully lay out your thoughts in the factory of your mind and create that astounding beauty you have always admired. Like a good weaver chooses the right yarn for the right design, you will choose the right thoughts for the right output you desire.
For a moment, think of yourself like a weaver, standing with gusto in your loom with unlimited capability. Now, you have the yarn. All you need now is a design. What design do you want of the future? What hope do you have about tomorrow? What role do you see yourself playing in the next decade? How would you want to be remembered after you were dead? That is the design you want to create in your loom.
Once you have decided on the design, what remains is for you to start the weaving process. It is time to lay out the yarn of your thoughts the way you want them and weave them into a pattern according to your design. Repeat the pattern until you can picture the end you desire. Continue weaving until, with God’s help, you create the future you desire.
Never forget you are in your loom with unlimited capability. What you do with it is your business.
