Creating A Mindset For Success
Success comes in many shapes. Success is everything from helping an old woman cross the road to building a business. Anything which requires a goal and the determination to reach it attributes to success. While success may seem out of your control, it is actually your frame of mind which will determine if you succeed or not.
There are a few different ways which can help us to achieve our goals. Read on to find out what they are!
Keep Your Brain Flexible
A fixed mindset [1] will keep you from achieving your goals and will ultimately leave you trapped in whatever state you are currently in. When you strive to reach a goal, you will have some sort of plan of action. The plan may seem flawless to you before implementing it. However, once you’ve started working, problems are likely to crop up and ruin your plan.
Someone with a fixed mindset will likely continue trying to pull through on their original plan. This will lead them to continually be blocked off by the same problem over and over again.
If you are flexible, you will acknowledge the problem and device a new plan that accounts for it. Do not let the issue discourage you. Simply work through it and keep on keeping on!
Conquering A Fixed Mindset
If you are finding it difficult to be flexible and you really can’t deal with the issues that are coming your way, then there is only one place to look. You need to look inside yourself.
Try to determine what attributes within you are causing you to get stuck here. You will likely notice that your habitual mindset is a defeatist’s mindset. You always think about everything that can go wrong and get discouraged by it.
Instead of feeling defeated by this you must adapt your mindset as stated in “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. As quoted by Napoleon Hill, “You know as everything that could go wrong, right?”. So now all you need to do is adjust your plans to avoid those possibilities. In the end, you will be able to turn this issue into your advantage.
Preparing For Success
You are now in a position to achieve your goals. This is the time when you really need to monitor your mind.
It is at this stage of your effort where your original mindset may start manifesting more often. You will suddenly feel the fear of ruining everything for yourself as you start to approach the goal. Maybe something will go wrong at the last minute and disappoint you.
Do not listen to this. Instead, continue to be prepared for any issue and adjust accordingly just like before. Do your best remain calm through meditation or simply talking to a trusted friend.
Follow all these things and you will find yourself reaching that very goal that you strived so hard to achieve. You can now see that succeeds is very much in your grasp. All you need is the right mindset to achieve it!
