Have you ever taken something that happened to you as a sign that you are blessed, and another as a sign that you are cursed? One event meant, I am awesome and the next made you feel like dirt?
The thought process during those dual occurrences was controlled and directed by you. The difference between a superior and sickly mindset happens to be the quality of your interpretation!
Humans can make a case for anything in their minds. If you were driven enough to support a cause, you would find reasons to believe supporting that cause was the right thing to do. Perhaps that is why people have incredibly varied beliefs. Compelling evidence can be found or made at anytime.
When a person decides to do something, and have determined to complete it against all odds, they have all the support they need for the argument at hand. By the standards of others, the idea can be totally unreasonable. But most thing worth a mention today actually started as illogical and unreasonable.
Take for example: Galileo’s theory that the earth and other planets revolves round the sun, The Wright Brothers’ insistence that heavier-than-air objects can fly, or Elon Musk’s electricity powered Tesla motors.
Below are a few secrets to shifting your mindset for success!
1. You must be careful what thoughts you accept. What you accept becomes the architect of your life. If you want to develop a winning mentality, you have to learn how to focus the mind.
You should not give everything the right to take up residence in your mind. Intentionally plant thoughts that are in line with who you want to be. Once a thought is taken captive, that thought begins to create your life.
2. You must get rid of toxic thoughts. Toxic thoughts are thoughts that are poisonous to you, and what you want to achieve. Toxic thoughts must be uprooted from the mind, and this you do by detaching yourself from thoughts that hinder your progress and purpose.
You must get rid of the old way of thinking, and the powerful thing about the mind is that no thought has the power to be planted without your permission. Remember that toxic thoughts keep us in a war between what is truly possible and what we perceive as possible for our lives.
3. You must plant positive thoughts. Positive thoughts are inspired thoughts that ignite the fire in our bellies. They motivate and inspire you to success. Positive thoughts can only be planted with intention. In order to plant positive thoughts, you will have to reprogram your mind.
4. You must renew your mind daily. Renewing your mind is to scrutinize what you think and how you think. You must fill your mind with the kinds of thoughts that propel you forward in life.
The challenge thus to unleashing the power of your mind is refusing to think through the lens called limit that society gives you. Unlimit the power of your mind through your imagination, which Albert Einstein averred is much better than knowledge!
