Mastering your mindset
To be successful you must be able to control your thoughts. You become what you think. Your mind is the key to your success, health and happiness. The Bible said as a man thinkenth within, so he is. Your thoughts are very powerful because they control your action. And we can all agree that your actions define whom we are. We can’t escape our thoughts but we can control them. Our thoughts are pictures created in our minds by influence of our parents, friends, environment and past personal experiences. It is the window through which we use to see life, and we use it to frame everything
We have control over our thoughts and we must learn to use that control to our benefits. We must stop focusing on the negatives thought and begin to focus on the positive. People who tend to focus on the negatives can’t achieve much. I know some few friends and family members whom at the moment you share a business ideas, their first response is to tell you why it won’t work. It isn’t that they don’t mean well; I guess they are only trying to be cautious. But if you spend your life only looking at the negatives side of an opportunity you would never go far. It is good to be cautious when taking a business decision, but do not become over cautious. There is no reward without taking a risk. We must learn to program our minds to be optimistic.
We are bombarded with negative things everyday that pulls us down.
Love yourself
The first step towards mastering your mind is to love yourself. Loving yourself means knowing your self worth. You need to have a high sense of self worth in order for people not to diminish your self worth. It also helps you accomplish many things. When you have a high sense of self worth, you would believe that there is nothing that you can’t accomplish. Even when a few obstacles come your way, you wouldn’t back down from pursuing your goals. Successful people have a high sense of self worth.
Learn your strength and weakness
It is important for us to know how strength and weaknesses in order to achieve great things. When you know your strength, you know the things you can accomplish. And you channel your strength to achieve your goals. Knowing your strengths gives you confidence in your ability and helps you decide where to focus on. Knowing your weaknesses could be seen as an advantage; it gives you an idea of what to work on or what kind of partner to choose.
Gain new knowledge
It is said the average CEO's read about 70-80 books a year. Many CEO's love to read in order to gain new knowledge. Gaining new knowledge gives you confidence. If you aren’t learning, you aren’t growing. What new knowledge are you gaining that could help you achieve your dream. Don’t be satisfied with what you know no matter how much you think you know. With the resources available to us such as Google, you tube and books; we have no excuse as to why we can’t learn something new. Gaining new knowledge gives you confidence in yourself and helps you build a positive mind set.
Stepping out of your comfort zone
What have you always wanted to try but failed to do so due to your fear of failure. Set a challenge for yourself and face this fear. To build a winner's mindset you must be willing to step out of your comfort zone. Most of us are stuck to our comfort zone and fear what might happen if we dare to step out. We need to challenge ourselves from time to time in order to build our self confidence. Getting out of your comfort zone doesn’t mean you won’t fail, but each time you fail try it again. With each try, you build your self confidence.
Spend less time worrying
Every human worries about one thing or the other, and that is okay. It would even be better if the worry leads us to take effective action. But worrying becomes a problem when we spend majority of our time just thinking without taking any action to ease our worries. Worrying never solves any problem, it could only create more problems that could affect your health such as hypertension or depression. To master your thoughts process, you must spend less time worrying.
Find something worth fighting for
We all need something to keep pushing us even when we want to give up. I remember the reason why I started to write my book was I had found the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life and my goal was to be able to provide whatever she wanted. I had an income but it was an average income and I wanted to provide the best things for her. There were moments I would tell myself that I couldn’t write the book anymore, but was motivated to go on by the life I had dreamt for us. Find something to push you whether it’s providing a better life for your immediate family or extended family or some other cause.
Learn to remove impossible
To have a winner’s mindset, you must learn to remove the word impossible from your dictionary. The word impossible mostly exist in our state if mind. Almost every great modern invention were viewed as impossible before they were made. No one thought cars that we’re affordable to the average worker could be built before Henry Ford built them. No one thought affordable PCs could be built before the mid 70s. With our of advancement, it has been proven that nothing is impossible to accomplish as long as you have the will. Never think you can’t achieve something because it seems hard to achieve or people tell you it’s impossible. Program your mind to believe you can achieve anything.
Never let other people thought become your reality
Do not let what others say or think about you become your reality. People’s words or thought does not have any power over you unless you let them. It is your personal view of yourself that matters. There are people who would think you are not good enough, smart enough or tough enough. Don’t listen to them, what they think doesn’t matter, it is what you think that matters. I can’t count how many times have been told you are not made for this or you are too soft for this, I have learned to ignore such comments. I decide to give it a try, and have never regretted it. I fail sometimes like they predicted but I view those failure as an opportunity to learn.
Forgive yourself for past mistakes
Lots of people are indecisive because they are hunted by their past mistakes. They are e afraid to take risks because each time they try to, the ghost of their past rare it’s ugly head. We all mistakes, even the best of us. We can learn from past mistakes but we must never let it define us. Just because you failed in the past doesn’t mean you can’t successful in your next try. There are people in your life who are try remind of your past, don't let that discourage you.
