THE IMPORTANCE OF ADOPTING A SUCCESS MINDSET

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by a certain task that you have never done before? Do you stress about starting because you are not sure about how to go about it? We’ve all been in similar situations, but what matters is how we approach them. When we have a success mindset, we manage to build up the necessary courage that promotes the self confidence to start and do our best, regardless of what we know -or don’t know- about the task at hand!
Also, when we adopt the right mindset, we are more able to handle setbacks, and keep our spirits up regardless of the outcome. We 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 deep truth. However, there are also many examples that disprove that presumed “fact.”
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? Hard Work? More often than not, it’s a person’s mind-set that determines whether they fail or succeed. But what is a mind-set, anyway? Typically a mind-set refers to your predominant state of mind day to day and moment to moment.
It’s formed of 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.
Makes sense, right? But how exactly does this work? Why is a success mind-set so essential in our outcomes? There are several reasons, but these three are the ones with the most weight:
1) A success mind-set boosts your confidence and self-esteem.
A lack of belief in yourself usually comes along with a sense of powerlessness and futility, which is the exact opposite of a success mind-set. Lack of confidence means you see no point in trying to be successful because it won’t happen anyway. If you feel this way often, it means you do not believe in yourself and your abilities to perform the tasks needed to succeed at your intended goal. Obviously, this creates a specific mind-set that is a recipe for failure in any endeavor. Having a true success mind-set, on the other hand, means you believe in yourself and your capabilities. Without being over confident and surreal, you believe you can succeed at nearly anything you try, and you’re willing to give it your best shot. Even better, you are willing to learn the missing information to pursue your goals. And, the more you do try, the more confidence and self-belief you build – until you’re virtually unstoppable!

The Perfect Plan
By Chuck Danes
Do you sometimes feel that life’s unfair, that future hope is bleak?
Do your day to day experiences leave your spirit feeling weak?
Do you ever think the joys in life are reserved for just a few?
That your hopes and dreams you’ll never reach no matter what you do.
Have you ever thought how hard it is to get ahead these days?
That strain and strife are part of life and nothing you do pays?
If you do, take heart my friend, so many think this way.
But there is hope a brighter path that you can take today.
It will require a shift in thought, it may challenge your beliefs
But it will guide you to a life of joy, content, relief.
So listen closely and absorb this perfect plan I share
Implement these steps you’ll learn and soon you’ll be aware
Of a life that’s filled with joy beyond your wildest dreams
Regardless what “appears” to be no matter how life seems.
Focus your attention on what you soon will learn
The wisdom in it, if acted on will provide those things you yearn
The answers are available just seek and you will find
That all which you’ve experienced is a product of your mind
These troubles you encounter now that you feel get in your way
Are due to thoughts, emotions felt that you had yesterday.
For long ago the plan was made which allowed you to be free
From all these limitations that you now perceive to be
You have been given power which you’re not yet aware
It’s through misuse of this gift that’s created your despair
For in the plan there came a clause that remains within it still
That each and every soul on earth be entitled to free will
You chose to limit your results by absorbing false belief
The plan designed to bring you joy through your own choice brought you grief (more…)
Be-Do-Have
The natural way of getting what you desire

I’m writing this article because I thought it is important for you. I remembered during one of the classes that I’ve conducted, there was a conversation that went like this……
I asked one of the participants, “If everything is possible for you, what do you want to achieve?”
“I want to do my own business!” The participant replied. “Why do you want to do your own business?” I asked. “So that I can make more money.”
“Then why don’t you start doing your own business now?” I asked. “Errrr, because I don’t have enough money. If I have the money, I’ll do my own business.”
“If you have all the money you need to support your business, what business do you want to do?” I asked. “I don’t know. I haven’t thought about it.”
“If you don’t know, how are you going to start your business?” “When I have money, I’ll think about it. There are so many businesses I can do.”
How Some People Sabotage Their Own Success
By Kenneth Ho
The subconscious mind is basically sensitive to three things: Affirmation, Visualization and Emotion. These are the three basic ways through which the subconscious mind is programmed and reprogrammed.
All the three ways to reprogram the subconscious mind are important. But if you were to point a gun at me and force me to rank their importance in terms of their effectiveness in influencing the subconscious mind, I will rank Emotion, followed by Visualization and then Affirmation.
Unfortunately, not many people understand how the subconscious mind works and how their emotions play an important role in their success or failure in life.
As a result, they always sabotage their own success. Here is how……
Let me ask you a question.
When was the last time you were worried about something? How long did you spend worrying about it? 1 day? 1 week? Forever?
Now, when was the last time you were happy about something (for example, achieving something of significant importance)? How long did you spend indulging yourself in that happy moment?
I remembered when I got my first-class honors degree, I was only happy for a short while. On the other hand, when my business did not do well, I spent weeks worrying about anything and everything under the sun.
The point I’m trying to make here is most people spend a lot of time pondering over their problems rather than remembering their successful experience.
