Health lecturing
Today's lecture is entitled *Mentatude*.
Good evening all. I hope we are alright.
*MENTATUDE*
A few years back I coined a Word- "Mentatude" to simply mean one's mental attitude.I believe strong people have well established mentatudes that push them to achieve their goals. Mentatude can also be defined as the way one views him/herself in their surroundings. Do you see yourself as a force capable to change your environment or do you see yourself as continuously changed by the environment and unable to do something about it.
Join me this Day as I peruse through the rich and refined mentatude that you will need to succeed. I will go through Chapter One of My book: MENTATUDE
Chapter One is made of 3 sections: Section No.1 is called Identifying yourself
No.2 is identifying your immediate surrounding
No.3 is identifying your future surrounding
*IDENTIFYING YOURSELF*
[
: Do you really know who you are?
If I gave you a pen and paper to describe who you are could you do it?
The first thing you must know about yourself is that you exist in the mind. Therefore if your mind ceases to exist you cease to exist
: Before you look at your present corcumstances: Whether good or bad you have to know yourself this will give you direction
I want two people to tell me in 1 sentence who you are
Please let this be first
Raise your hand introduce yourself and tell us
The first one describes a person that sees himself as simple/easy/friendly/humble and happy to have a dark complexion
The second one sees himself to be sad/dissapointed/restless/tired of life/hurt etc
Both of these people do not know who they are
The mind does not have a colour or complexion.
Who you are is not defined by external circumstances but by internal drives
To an artist/painter it is an empty Tapestry
To a potter/moulder it is an infinite piece of clay
To programmer it is an unborn code for a software he will make
So Next time when you define who you are do not let it be about your external circumstances including your skin colour
My name is Rodger Dagiro a self motivated man who is working to become the best businessman in my country
It should be about what drives you to achieve your objectives in life
This sentence should prove itself
: By this I mean your audience should be able to see your track record and know this is who you are
: This sentence should be beyond colour, size, age, height, circumstance
It should be a sentence that wakes you up every morning to go about fulfilling your dreams
: Your Mentatude is what will get you where you want
: It is the ability to notice everything around you but absorb only what is necessary for your personal development
That should come in your second sentence
Take for example a potter who has gone to get some clay
Skin, Origin, likes preferences
Your body or skin is clay and the different colours of clay do not necessarily define the person behind the clay
White, Black, Brown, Pink, Yellow, Red e.t.c
These colors are not who you are first
Who you are first is defined by your mental concept(In chapter 2 )
Hope I have answered you
It is only in cases of prejudice that people define you by external measures
: The potter who has gone to the swamp discovers different kinds of clay but chooses what will make the most admirable piece
This is how our minds are to function
The swamp is the world/environment and the clay is the stimuli
You are the potter
The admirable piece is the mind that will get you where you want to be in life
I beseech you all to filter the environment and absorb only what recreates a better you
Especially in this competitive but decaying environment
You need to create the mind that will keep your head afloat the different crises: poverty, unfulfilment, religious ideologies etc
You need to create the right mentatude: Mental Attutude
That is end of *Identifying yourself*
This is your *Immediate Surroundings*
[Identifying your environment
This is where your second sentence can come from
I am a Ugandan with a dark complexion
I am 5'8
I like to play board and video games
: I am a Christian and professional that Jesus is the Son of God
All these up here and many more depending on you talk about your surrounding
: They define your *Swamp*
If you can remember
The environment should not defined you
: Here is where your source of information originates
The info you need to form the proper *mindset*
You choose to absorb what matters and define yourself by that and then you define your environment by your standards
This is how great men make history
This is why Obama said "Yes you can"
This is because it is all within you
I hope we are all on the same page
Let me wind up
Make a mental picture of where you want to be write it on a piece of paper move around with that paper everything you go to fulfill your dreams
: No.3
: *Identifying your future surroundings*
Everytime*
Look at it when you rise
: Let it create direction
Look at it when you sleep
: Okay friends have a good night
: Thank you for the opportunity
