Power Of The Mind – Spiritual Samurai Writes

You have the power to determine what kinds of thoughts you wanna entertain. Whether it’s…

Good or evil.

Positive or negative.

Enlightening or foolish.

High or low vibrational.

Empowerment or degradation.

Do not relinquish your power to those who don’t have your best interest at heart nor those who seek to destroy you.

Whatever you feed daily will become your weekly news feed. It’s like when you scroll down on social media, you see posts from pages and people you follow. It is based on your likes and interests. Whatever you choose to entertain will become you. You have the power to create your own world in your mind. Your mentality is based on what you choose to immerse yourself with. Not all thoughts are yours. Some come to deceive or annoy you like those stupid ads you may come across.

The reason why some of us don’t search for healing is because we may feel like we aren’t good enough for it. Some of us have been broken to the point where we think that we aren’t worthy of anything good. With that mindset, we would be headed to self-destruction, and we cannot have that happen.

Many people have commented on how strong I am, but what they don’t see is how I got here. I’m strong today because I’ve been hurt plenty of times, and I had to pull myself right out of it. I was all I had at the time, and with God beside me I went from being targeted to becoming an empowered individual. I’m strong because I had to give myself pep talks in order to prepare for what may come. I always expect the worst, so my hopes don’t get shattered once again, which forced me to embrace stoicism. Whatever happens happens. You can’t control what others do, but you can control how you move and react, and adjust your strategy. This gave me the heart and mind of a soldier.

You cannot become a warrior unless you’ve fought in battle. The more battles your mind overcomes, the more control you will have over your own thoughts. You want to become a master at evicting stupid thoughts that put you down, and give a warm welcome to the inspiring ones. Let’s keep our temple clean not only from what we eat, but what thoughts we feed ourselves with.

Everytime you defeat a negative thought, a fire will light up, and the more you do this eventually, you will have a firewall where negativity can no longer come through. It’s gonna take a lot for negative thoughts to enter and infiltrate your mind.

Your mind is like a Shinobi Kingdom, it is to be heavily protected and guarded from the enemy. You are the ruler of your mind, so you must be strong and wise because for as long as we’re alive the wicked will constantly try to attack our minds, in hopes that they could reap our souls, but they will never win.

“Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.”

Proverbs 4:14-16

One of the hardest pills for me to swallow was the fact that some people only live to destroy others, and there’s nothing you can do about it. All we can do is remove ourselves from toxic places and people because helping them could be our demise. Helping others is good, but you can only help those who actually wanna be helped. Some people pretend they wanna change, playing on your empathy only to destroy you. I cannot fathom the fact that some people only exist to shut off all the light left in the world.

That’s why we must be strong and protect ourselves at all times. Life is like a boxing match that never ends until you reach your last breath. Don’t allow this to intimidate or cripple you, but rather allow it to motivate you to build and become a better version of yourself. Everyday I work on mastering the art of empowering the mind, and I will gladly share it with the empaths.
