BUILD YOUR OWN SHELTER
Where are you living?
2-bedroom, 3-bedroom or the self-contain apartment?
Some claimed they live in duplexes and mansions.
Well, none of us is really living in all of these aforesaid.
Living goes beyond the bricks and comfort of a physical infrastructure.
We live in an invisible shelter and this might be difficult to understand.
That is our reality.
What is our invisible shelter?
It is the standard of all men and women. Our MIND!
Some people build it, it builds them books, bridges, Microsoft, Amazon
Real shelter is invisible.
Think of it, when people lose their invisible shelter called ‘mind’,
we isolate them from us or they isolate themselves from mansions they own.
Doesn’t this deserve our thoughts?
Why then do we clean the house, prune the flowers and paint the wall
But
We often ignore the cry of our real estate?
The invisible shelter says:
- Why do you give me poor attention? Of a truth, what we give attention expands. Leaving me unattended to is an invitation to poverty of imagination. And when the imagination is poor, life is animal-like.
- Why do you keep me fallow? Do not think I will remain vacant for you because a land without care will grow weeds.
Whatever you can do to build me for your own freedom, please do.

Hmm…. Indeed the mind is where it begins. This is crucial.
