The ANT pt1
So i observed, a bunch of black Ants go about there business, they were so focused at what they were looking for which I believed to be food.
They are said to be very focused, detailed, organised and disciplined. Then i attempted to smash one with my foot, but I missed and all of a sudden, they started this irregular and wild movements just like a city that just heard a bomb explosion.
Initially, there were three (3) ants there. The one i attempted to kill ran so fast and crazy that it collided with another ant going about his own business and it was like it transfered craziness onto that one also and they both ran crazy until they collided with the last one and they were all running randomly without direction or bearing.
In my mind, i had this picture that the first one was screaming and collided with the second ant, and that one asked what happened and he replied, there is fire on the mountain, without asking, the second ant shouted fire ke! And started shouting Fire! Fire! Fire! Till he collided with the third ant and the third ant said " what is the problem, or are you blind?" And the second ant said there is fire ooo! And the third ant scared out of his pant shouted Fire! And also joined in the dramatic movement and started runing wild also without knowing where the fire is from (Remember, this is what I pictured in my mind).
This continued for a while. At the end of the drama, they stopped running and went back into trying to locate their way back to their initial calm state and back to their real mission.
Then I got this revelation;
The three Ants as tiny as they are, they occupied a big space . I linked the space to the mind, and the Ants as the thought of man.
Initially, our thought are calm, focused and filled with hope of great success until our thought is disturbed or rattled by wrong ideas, such ideas makes a person go into a phase of losing focus.
Then the mind becomes a big ball bouncing without a bearing and the root of the problem is simply the processing of the wrong idea dropped into the mind.
The initial state of a calm thought earlier described is scientifically proven (an object remain in a state of rest until an external/Internal forces is exerted).
Many times, people say negative things to us such as;
there is no hope for the youth,
things are very bad,
life is difficult,
there is no money anywhere etc, and the next thing is that we run all this ideas and words in our mind and it runs us into a hyperdrive state of thought, moves into our sub-conciousness.
We become unfocused, no direction or bearing, we lose the main reason that drives us and in general not achieving the best.
Until the ant calmed itself down and discovered its real mission, he would have continue exhausting its energy and thereby achieve nothing.
In the case of the mind, once we process all the negative situations happening and major or focus on them, we start to worry and we loose focus on what we want to do just like the Ant, we then exhaust how mental energy on the wrong ideas and thoughts which directly and indirectly affects our productivity level.
Even the bible says we are a product of our thought, and also as a man thinketh in his heart so his he.
Nourish your mind,
motivate your mind,
energize your mind,
keep your mind focused and determined to get success and above all be wise so as to be productive.©
