The Truth About Your Mindset
You don’t have to be great when you begin, but you have to start to be great.
This is true of anything in life and especially more true when it comes to getting our lives better in our efforts to live our dream life.
We have to start from somewhere to get anywhere. If we don’t take the first step in the direction of our own choosing, we don’t even have a chance. No wonder we are reminded that, a journey of a thousand miles starts with one single step.
When it comes to improving your life in efforts to live your dream life, I would suggest the same thing I usually suggest to many of my clients and my students, that is:
To start working on your mindset.
What I do every day as a coach and a mentor enables me to connect with a lot of people who have a deep understanding they aren’t living their dream life. Despite all their efforts to achieve success, the only outcome is frustration. Once the hurdles become great failure and it takes over, and stagnation
settles, these people live their lives with a constant awkward feeling that they are pursuing something elusive that you can’t quite catch it.
The process of success in life is not so much the way you handle things, but its having a different
mindset- a way of thinking that you allow to rule your life. Your thoughts habits form the foundation
that guarantees the outcome of your pursuits. Your thinking determines the path your life takes.
You see, your mindset is the environment you carry wherever you go. It proclaims to the world how
you think of yourself. It indicates the type of person you have become and you are becoming, and
therefore, a healthy mindset is deciding you can do anything you set your mind to accomplish.
In this series through these monthly articles I intend to cover this subject of Mindset and other
related material that might be of help to you in your efforts to live your dream life.
For many years my limited beliefs kept me stagnate, and perhaps you have experienced the same
dilemma I faced. I thought the opportunities to become successful had come and gone. I thought I
was stuck with my lot in life forever. The outlook appeared hopeless, with no light at the end of the
tunnel.
But, if you have studied the lives of people like Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, along with many other individuals who overcame their circumstances, you know their lives showed us, what you can do with a positive mental attitude that comes out of a healthy correct stable mindset.
Their lives changed the course of history; impacting countless lives in the process.
And so, my previous statements and thoughts proves why I never succeeded in having a life of my own dream. It’s because, I did not have a healthy correct stable mindset that would propel me to towards living my God ordained destiney.
Several years ago, my world changed, when I decided to forget about the stories I was telling myself.
I changed my mindset by changing the stories that I told myself and believing them. Stories that led
to my desired lifestyle. Once my thoughts changed through personal growth, I adopted the new
mindset. In doing so, I attracted the favorable situations for success in life.
The change allowed me to experience what Jim Rohn used to describes, when he would say “Success
is not a destination you get to, success is something you attract by the person you become.”
Mindset is one of the most commonly used and yet misunderstood words in the English language. However, when you understand it, you’ll know how to use it to your advantage.
Once you have a clear understanding of what mindsets are and how they form, it will become apparent only a small percentage of the people are in control of their lives.
In truth, most people’s mindsets are being controlled by their past, other people, the conditions, and circumstances in their lives. When your mindset has such a powerful impact on your future, it’s important to understand all you can about it.
Next, we will see what mindsets are and then what forms our mindsets and what we can do to adopt a new healthy and correct stable mindset.
I believe anyone with the drive to succeed will be victorious once they create a new mindset and a new story. It’s not about where you are, it’s about where you want to go.
Enjoy and make sure you take action.
To your success
