We all act according to what we believe to be true.
It takes time and effort to train your mind to stay focused on the positive things in life. But ….
When you have created a true mindset for living you will be actively involved in everything you do. This may seem to be a strange comment.
Could this mean that we actually do things in life without being ACTIVELY involved?
Absolutely!
Many people spend their days on this planet doing many things, but they are rarely ever ACTIVELY involved in what they are doing.
The outcome of situations you face depends on your mindset.
Your mindset has a lot to do with what you focus on. If you have a fixed goal that you are really determined to achieve, then no matter what happens when an obstacle tries to hinder your progress, you will not be stopped. You will become unstoppable!
How can you be so certain you will not let any obstacle stop you from reaching your goal? The answer is simple. If your focus is fixed on your goal you WILL find a way to achieve it.
Life is full of risks. Sometimes we take risks without realizing it, while other times we may be all too conscious of what we are about to do. Consequently we may even feel a little apprehensive.
Interestingly enough, you can only take risks when you apply faith. It takes faith to do many things in this life. After all the future has not yet arrived, so it is full of the unknown. We are never really 100% certain of anything that is in the future, whether it is one year from now or one second from now.
So whether you realize it or not, you are actually walking through this life by faith. To take risks you need faith.
As you begin (and continue) your road to success you will make many discoveries along the way. One thing you will certainly find is that there will always be some attractive new thing crossing your path to catch your eye and try to distract you. You may be tempted you to go running after it.
However if you chase every new offer that comes your way, you will soon lose sight of your own goals and may well end up not achieving anything.
A well trained hound will stay focused
There is a well know sport in England know as the fox hunt. Hound dogs are trained to pursue a fox while a team of riders chase behind them. All are in hot pursuit of one poor little fox. These hounds are well trained to focus on their target which is of course the fox.
Many a juicy rabbit crosses the hound dogs’ path while they are pursing that fox, but the hound that is worth anything will not be distracted by any diversion. ..
How secure are you in your focus? Are you really sure that the goal you have chosen is YOURS? Is it really your passion?
Have you really made up your mind you are going to reach your goals? If not, those naysayers will certainly find your insecure spots.
If you have cultivated a strong mindset by keeping your focus positive, the voices of the naysayers will not be able cause you any harm.
There are two kinds of responses that someone who does not believe in what you are doing can have:
Do you have the stamina required to really succeed?
The journey to success is not very likely to be a short one. Anything we do in life that is worthwhile, whether it be for business or pleasure is going to take some work and some time to achieve. I know there are many emails and advertisements flying around the internet that will try and tell you that instant or overnight success is possible.
Overnight success
Believe me there is no such thing, UNLESS …
Setbacks and failures are a part of the journey to success. This is because there are some things (methods and strategies that may work for others, but not for you. You will need to try these things to find out what works best for you. There will be some strategies that fit your personality better than others.
Of course this will mean that you are not completely certain that the strategy you are about to test will work for you, BUT you do know that something WILL work. So you are always EXPECTING to win.
Most self made millionaires (if not all of them) will be able to tell you that they failed many times on their road to reach the position they are enjoying today. Many have even declared bankruptcy, some more than once, as they made their journey to financial freedom.
However they reached their goal because no discouragement or temporary failure could stop them. They never gave up. Their motto was: “I might have lost that battle, but I have not lost the war!”
Your mindset which is created by your focus will lead you to overcome obstacles or it will allow you to be defeated by them. The choice is yours.
A very subtle reality is that often your main focus resides in your subconscious mind. This means that you may not even realize what you are really focusing on. And remember, your mindset is created by your focus.
So how can you discover what your main focuses really are? How change you change any wrong focus?
1. By taking notice of your reactions to situations and obstacles in life, you can discover some of the attitudes that are residing in your subconscious mind.
2. Then you make a conscious effort to refocus on the things you want to reside in your subconscious mind so that the new “recording” will erase the old.
When an obstacle crosses your path, one of two things will happen:
A. You will have the strength to focus on looking for a solution, rather than being distracted by the problem or obstacle. This will happen when your mindset is strongly positive because your subconscious focus is set on winning.
Or ..
One of the key secrets to maintaining a champion mindset in every area of life is your focus. You will always follow your main focus whenever any distraction or challenge may cross your path. The subtle thing about this is your real focus may be conscious or subconscious.
If your main focus tends towards the negative side it will be easier to give up when things get tough. However, if you are always focusing on the positive side then when things get difficult and barriers and obstacles cross your path you will be more likely to insist on finding a solution.
Success or failure? Your mindset will determine which is for you!
