“Mental development hinges on what you feed your mind on. From your feelings, you are setting a pace for your living.”

A person’s mind can be his or her prison. An escape from personal prison is only possible when you “get out of your mind!”.

No matter how much you try, you’re forever limited in thoughts and reasoning. That is why we all go to school to rub minds with others who have rubbed minds with some mental giants and have gleaned great knowledge.

By educating your mind, you have subscribed to the art of getting out of your mind. Please note that educating your mind is not limited to going through the four walls of a university. It is about consistently learning and relearning until you finally escape from your personal mental prison.

The limitation in the mind of man is the reason he can’t succeed or rise on his own.

No matter how hard you try, you’ll always require comprehensive information from others before you. Why? Because your mind is too small to carry you into your dreams. Using other people’s minds is one major avenue by which we take our place in God’s grand plans.

Have you ever heard the saying, “think out of the box” before? If you have, then this is what it means to get out of your mind.

The mind of a man is the most extensive treasure field ever made by God. But many have died without tapping into those treasures.

But many have died without tapping into those treasures. Many will still die without ever tapping into them. That is why a wise man once said, “the richest place on the planet is the graveyard”. He said that because of the unimaginable amount of treasures that were never tapped, laying dead in graves.

The only way to not die with those treasures within your mind is to get out of your mind.

HOW TO GET OUT OF YOUR MIND 

1. Rub minds with great minds.

There are unlimited resources in the minds of others who have gone before you in any field of endeavour. Find out who they are and the principles they engaged to make the most of their time on earth.
You can’t rub minds with great minds and not be great.

2. Read biographies to tap into minds older than yours.

You can operate in ancient times and the wisdom contained in them by reading biographies.

3. Engage practically with the top dogs in your industry.

There’s nothing new under the sun. Most of what we’re trying to do has already been done. Remember, I didn’t say “all” but “most”. No matter what you do, never walk alone. There’s always somebody who has been where you’re trying to go. Learn from them. 

4. Copy successful patterns and copy them right.

It is easy to get started when you copy what already exists. Copying is not wrong, but not copying right is wrong.

Also, know that you can’t continue to copy. There’s always a time to outgrow entry standards and advance in your endeavours. You must make personal, meaningful progress in growing your mind from the current state to where you start to think the ancient wisdom thoughts and create things from your imagination without necessarily copying anyone.

5. Be deliberate about your mental progression.

Make mental progress as it is the only way to never return to your mental prison.

Whatever is not used becomes disused. If it is not exercised, it will expire.
