Decolonize your mind
Colonization is the violent invasion of one territory by another, plundering its resources and leaving it defenseless. Think of your mind as a sovereign nation with valuable resources that if sufficiently violated will leave your body desolate. Why is it important to have an uncolonized mind? Well, an uncolonized mind won’t cooperate with strongholds that seek to destroy you. When I’m fulfilling my purpose, busy working on my vision, the resources of my mind are already spoken for. There’s an old adage about idle hands being the devil’s tool, well if the brain is the body’s mastermind your mind must first be idle in order for your hands to be used by the devil. I urge you to be intentional about the habits you create. Focus on the things that are geared towards discovering and achieving your purpose. Cultivate a growth mindset that aligns with your purpose and be careful not to work counter-productive to your goals.
