Sonia Olivia Williams Nails it With New Publication Mastering the Mind by Mixing it Up

Oct. 15, 2012 - PRLog -- Intro:

This book will take many of the current beliefs you have stored in your mind and question them. It will confuse you in a way that will force you to think outside of the box. You cannot master your own mind if the majority of your thoughts are based on those of society and not any of the ideas or facts that you've created on your own. If you are not the master of your own mind, you are a zombie. You live the repetitive life of society and are stuck in a comfort zone that is probably not even all that comfortable. It's time for you to think a bit differently, to master your own mind, and be your own greatest leader. This book will address the many things that affect the way that you think. It will explain how thinking is where it all begins. Your successes and failures, happiness and hurts, the hesitation, procrastination, and motivation all begins within your own mind.

This book is long past due. I should have finished it many years ago. Actually, many parts of it were written long ago but I was the one that was not confident enough to finish. I felt like I had more to learn, more to see, and more roads to travel before I could continue, so I stopped writing. I went back to school, earned a Bachelor's degree, went on to earn a Master's degree and enrolled in a Leadership Doctorate program. I stopped writing, but I never stopped thinking. One thing that all leaders have in common is that they never do stop thinking, longing, and wondering about what they could or should do next. I sadly began to feel that I would be cheating myself, those closest to me, and those that can learn something from me if I did not write this.

The truth is that I never needed any degrees to write this. Only enough guts to share it with the rest of the world. Some of my deepest thoughts and most intimate feelings are now unshielded and open for judgment and criticism. I am shy by nature to those I am unfamiliar with. I have always been a listener, an observer, a planner and thinker, but now it's time to talk. It's time to give it to you straight and uncut.

Conclusion:

The ways of society have formed people into zombies that follow a path that others have already taken. Yet we continue to hear the complaints and cries of unhappiness as we travel the same path. Do you ever think of traveling a road that fills your heart with happiness? Traveling a road less depressing, less judging, and more faithful? Traveling a road unpaved and full of discovery, which is impossible to find on the main road? This road exists once you are able to control the thoughts that go on in your mind, before those thoughts become feelings; stop, take a few minutes and decide what you want your action or reaction to be. You can control this. The journey of your life depends on it.

This journey of a better way can begin in your own mind. Somehow throughout time these planted seeds have been abandoned or attacked by weeds in their early stages of development. Go back and find them. Remove all of the debris of fear, brainwashing, and those embedded views and conclusions of society that have been causing your doubt and confusion. Shake off the old, and mix up your mind to confuse yourself into questioning where all of your thoughts and beliefs actually come from. You need to ask yourself why you think a certain way about certain things and if these thoughts are your own.

In so many areas of your life you can take the time that you need to truly think about things. Don't so easily fall into the "majority" always be your own person, and you will always respect yourself. If you respect yourself you carry yourself with a demeanor that forces others to respect you. When you were a child, it was ok to act as such, but childhood and immaturity is not something that you can lean on or use as an excuse forever. It is your responsibility to not become one whose life here is only good for creating a statistical chart of negatives. There will always be obstacles, challenges and disappointments. This is all a part of the game of life. Treat them like hurdles slowing down just enough to jump over them but never stopping. As long as you are on the path in the right direction it doesn't matter how fast you are going, you are destined to become all that is within you. You will even find that by becoming your own greatest leader you have others that look up to you and are inspired by you. You cannot let them down. You cannot let down your loved ones that are no longer physically here with you, because they are still with you. They live within your heart, and they guide you, and they push you, and they have high hopes for you; They know what you can accomplish, and they don't want you to cheat yourself. They deserve to know that you hear them, and that you truly believe that they have never left you. Never give up on yourself, and others won't give up on you. If not "many", there will always be that "one" person whose life has been changed because of you, maybe that person deserves to be you. The key is not about becoming the best leader of everyone else, the key is about becoming your own greatest leader knowing that others will follow that path that is just a bit smoother now because of you.
 
This book is in a series of many to come. I hope that you keep this book handy as different parts of it, may be relevant to you at different times in your life. I truly hope that you can take something from this book that gives you a bit more strength to be everything that you hope and inspire to be. My life experiences are many, and as we go through this journey together I will share pieces of those experiences with you as they relate. I personally thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be a part of your life, even if only for the read; but hopefully throughout your journey as you become your own greatest leader and memories of my words travel with you.
