My Mind is Made Up
When your mind is made up do you still revert to the old way before then?
If you answered yes to that question, then welcome to a weird life, welcome to this piece too.
A weird life is one in which we know what we want but don’t stick to them. We create a hullabaloo about things that aren’t even really that bad yet. We go back and forth a lot with people in different sectors of our lives and yet can’t seem to select them better when another opportunity presents itself.
This inconsistency yields a lot of instability that affects life gravely, thus exacerbating its already weird nature.
How do we make up our minds then? What is a made-up mind like?
A made-up mind is just like it… a mind made up. A conclusive moment when you make a decision that stands. No tweaking or staggering. Full stop.
When we take a stance like this it improves our living on so many levels.
- One, we don’t repeat mistakes that caused us to want to make up our minds in the first place.
- Secondly, we don’t suffer twice from the same mistake.
- Thirdly, we grow from what or who we used to be to someone better.
One of the causes of setbacks involving making up one’s mind is fear. This fear may occur as a result of the conditioning received from an early stage of life where you deeply and ceaselessly consider others’ opinions of what it should be, rather than what you want.
As a result, you find it hard to accustom yourself to self-willingness and use that prowess to take a stance on what you want as and when due.
When you give in your power to other people to decide for you, consciously by seeking their approval or subconsciously by attempting to please them with your decisions, it tramples on your right to make up your own mind and decide your fate from there.
Making up your mind and sticking through isn’t going to be an easy one. It takes a lot of determination, willpower, discipline, relentlessness, and sorts to pull through. Because you’ll be tempted to consider the feelings and opinions of others before reaching that final state.
And making up your mind is good for you in the end. You draw the line, clean the slate and formulate new grounds for living — on your terms.
For example, a made-up mind knows when to start a relationship when it’s in alignment with their true self and when to end it. They don’t feel too bad and waste time calculating their losses. Instead, they multiply their gains by capitalizing on the advantages of walking away, using that forte to move on.
This is not to say a made-up mind is cold-blooded. But it could be if it’s dealing with fellow cold-blooded ones or in a tug of cold-blooded war.
A made-up mind just knows when enough is enough. It is tenacious.
A made-up mind goes into the professional life with a mindset of not gripping too hard onto it. For safety, security, or other purposes other than the inner purpose. And when it doesn’t fit, it quits.
Making up one’s mind may arise from a messy hazy indecisive process. It doesn’t matter. When it’s made up, it’s done.
Life’s weird and inability to quote categorically how life treats each one from to time contributes to the indecisive nature of human beings. Either because we’re too afraid to say life is sweet, that we’re happy, we’re comfortable. We might be too afraid to say life’s good.
But a made-up mind like mine knows that life is weird, and a lot of her aspects of life, especially the emotional part right now, needs to be cross-checked and updated — by what the soul yearns.
What of you?
