The same can be true about having thoughts
concerning the idea of the correct mind-set!
You hear it all the time: "success is a state of mind." There are people who would argue that success
is a natural result of proper planning, preparation and focused action, and
that viewpoint certainly holds a grain of truth - but there are also many exceptions
to disprove that "rule." Have
you ever wondered how two people can attempt the same objective in the same way
and only one of them succeeds? Is
it sheer luck? Timing? Tenacity?
More often than not, it's a person's mind-set that determines whether
they fail or succeed.
What is a mind-set, anyway? Typically a mind-set refers to your
predominant state of mind day-to-day.
It's what you think about, focus on, and expect from your daily
experiences. Think negatively, expect
the worst, feel pessimistic about your options and that's exactly what you'll
seem to draw into your life. Likewise,
think positively, expect the best and focus on a successful outcome and you get
it, most of the time. Just like the
previous topic of positive thinking, the subject of mind-set has numerous
amounts of available information for your consideration. To review an example of one who believes that
your mind-set determines success or failure, see https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-a-mindset-2795025 Now if you’re one who thinks that it doesn’t
matter how you think on matters, you might like to consider https://au.reachout.com/articles/how-to-challenge-a-negative-mindset
and challenge your negativity on the subject of mind-set!
Really, when you think about the primary
point of thinking positive, being positive and when thinking negatively,
being negative, it makes sense, right? But how exactly does this work? Why is a successful, positive, mind-set so
important? There are three
big reasons:
A successful mind-set
boosts your confidence and self-belief.
A lack of belief in yourself usually comes
along with a sense of powerlessness and futility, which is the exact opposite
of a successful mind-set. Lack of
confidence means you see no point in trying to be successful because it won't
happen anyway. Obviously, this type of
mind-set is a recipe for failure in any endeavor. Whatever your venture --- you’ve tried, and
you failed! You feel that should be the
end of the process. When you were
growing up did you never hear: “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again?” There was a reason you were told this. We can learn from our mistakes (at least we
should learn)! We can become better and
more confident as we continue to move forward.
Having a truly successful mind-set, on the other hand, means you believe in yourself and your capabilities. You believe you can succeed at nearly anything you try, and you're willing to give it your best shot. Even better, the more you do try, the more confidence and self-belief you build - until you're virtually unstoppable! You will actually learn from your failures and become better. At times you may only need some inspirational support. Consider these quotes: https://www.success.com/21-quotes-about-failing-fearlessly/
A successful mind-set
strengthens your determination.
Without a successful mind-set, one failure
is enough to convince you that pursuing your goals is a waste of time. Tenacity and determination don't exist in
your world. If you don't become a raging
success the first time you try, you surmise that it simply wasn't meant to
be. Unfortunately, few things worth
having are obtained so easily! Never forget: “It’s not the size of the dog in
the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog” that produces the tenacity to
continue against all odds.
A successful mind-set strengthens your awareness that a failure is not the end of the story - it's just one more way that didn't work out the way you planned. In fact, a truly successful mind-set makes it obvious that the only true failure occurs when you stop trying. Whatever the circumstances might be that you have to face, you have never lost until you quit! You might want to consider 100 quotes about quitters! https://content.wisestep.com/quotes-quitting/ However, one of my personal favorites came from the movie Galaxy Quest in which Commander Jason Nesmith (character played by actor Tim Allen) says: “Never give-up, never surrender.”
A successful mind-set
encourages fruitful actions.
Have you ever found yourself wandering in
circles because you didn't know the best way to approach a specific goal? Perhaps you had an idea of the best course of
action but you felt intimidated by some of the action steps required. As a result, you may have kept sabotaging
your efforts as you searched in vain for an easier or less frightening way to
your goal. Or at times you may (perhaps
even subconsciously) have a fear of succeeding so you “shoot yourself in the
foot” as the saying goes, so you’ll fail and then be able to declare to others
that you tried but it just couldn’t be done!
With a truly successful mind-set, you'll
always know the most effective action steps that will lead directly to your
goal. As already discussed, you'll also
have the inner confidence and determination to pursue them - which is a sure
recipe for . . . you guessed it; success!
If I had to sum up how to develop a
successful mind-set into as few words as possible, I'd make a list like this:
Go for your dreams.
Think positively.
Believe in yourself.
Believe you can do
better.
Learn, grow and develop
yourself.
Be willing to take
chances.
Give it your all.
Expect the best in
every situation.
Be willing to fail.
When you fall down, get back up and try again.
Keep doing the things I have listed above
and you can't help but become successful, from the inside out. The only real enemy to your success that you
will have a constant battle with is --- YOU! That will always be your struggle because we’re
only human!
