Your Mindset Will Determine Your Success In Life

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 obstacles 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.

Your mindset will follow your focus. When you focus on winning, your mind will receive the message: “Winning is my only option”. Once this message really penetrates your mind and brain there will be no stopping you.

Of course, if your mind is allowing room for possible failure then some things may well trip you up. A mindset that allows room for failure is a double mind. The book of James in the Bible, tells us that a double minded man is unstable in all of his ways. (James 1:5-8)

If you allow thoughts of possible failure, then obstacles may well discourage you or even stop you from achieving your goals.

Make sure your mind is focused on succeeding!

When your mindset is set on success all of your goal setting, strategy planning and action will be directed towards achieving your passion in life.

There will be no thought of failing.
You will stay confident that you can and will win.

If an obstacle does try to block but your mindset is set on success:

Your creativity will blossom as you seek for solutions and you will either:

JUMP OVER
the obstacle.

GO THROUGH
the obstacle.

CLIMB OVER
the obstacle.

Find someone to help you climb over the tough areas.

Whatever strategy you choose, rest assure you WILL win because:

I don’t measure a man’s success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom. George Patton (Never give up!)

Memories, Do They Help You Or Hinder You?

There are a few Mini Coupers running around but you don't often see them close up. They are certainly not as common here, as they were when I was growing up in New Zealand.

Yes, this little car brings back some memories. One in particular is rather funny. My Grandfather was over 6 foot tall and relatively broad boned. He was looking at cars with the idea of buying something economical on gas and of course the Minis were one vehicle he was looking at.

Only thing was there was not too much leg room even in the front and he got stuck! We all had a good laugh over that one. So of course any time I see a Mini a positive memory and emotion is trigger. I usually laugh

Why am I sharing this?

Memories can be a blessing to your present or a hindrance!

The question is, when you see something that triggers a memory, does it bring a positive emotion or a negative one?

Negative emotions will certainly hinder your present.

Here are some articles you may find helpful about how to deal with negative memories:

May all your memories be positive ones!

How Focused Is Your Vision?

Note:This photo was deliberately taken out of focus.

Today’s thought is: If your vision is not clear and focused ..
1. How can you set the right goals that will lead you to fulfill your vision?
2. How can you know which direction to walk in?
3. How will you recognize your vision when you reach it?

Is your vision fully in focus today?

Words Are Powerful – Affirmations Are Words!

Jill — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 04:37:15 +0000

Did you know that your words are a seed in your life?

Every word you speak.
Every word you think.
Every word you hear.

Every word you allow to enter into your mind will influence your life.

Your words are your seed.
Your inner (subconscious) mind and heart are the ground where the seed is planted.
The harvest is your future.

In the last article (What Affirmations Can Do You) we considered the negative influence that this world has on us all. There are thousands of times more negative words than there are positive.

So now the challenge for you is to focus on deliberately sowing POSITIVE words.

One of the best ways to achieve this is by deliberately making daily affirmations.

Daily diligent affirmations WILL change your life.

Why?

Because your daily affirmations are positive seeds that you are sowing into your life.

And, when you sow a seed it will grow, especially when it is sown into good ground.

Today I have a challenge for you!

Are you ready to change your life?
Are you prepared to pay the price?

What is the price?

Diligence, discipline and determination to declare positive affirmations over your life that will sow GOOD seeds into your future.
A receptive heart that will BELIEVE what you are declaring.
A plan of action and diligent daily action in accordance with your affirmations.

If you put this plan into action what results can you expect? Your life will change drastically and you will reach your dreams.

What Affirmations Can Do For You

Jill — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 02:16:16 +0000

Before exploring what affirmations can do you for, let’s look at the definition of affirmations.

What exactly IS an affirmation?
The dictionary tells me that an affirmation is a statement asserting the existence of a truth of something, the act of affirming, asserting, avouching or stating something.

So when you make an affirmation, you are asserting the existence of the truth of your statement, right?

Now I am sure that you have read many affirmations over Twitter or Facebook (or both) and perhaps stopped to think and say: Well I am not REALLY sure that this is true for me.

For example: are you REALLY sure that you are a champion? Perhaps you are or perhaps you have doubts about that.

Let’s suppose that you are not yet REALLY sure that you are a champion. Why would there be some uncertainty in your mind about this?

Did you read the article on this blog entitled Discover Your Champion Spirit? In this article I talked about an experiment organized by Jack Canfield. I read about this experiment in a book on Accelerated Learning.

A team of researchers were sent to accompany 100 young school children (ages 5-6) for 1 day. They were to make a note of every word that each child spoke. The results were astounding.

The average positive comments spoken were 72 while
The average negative comments spoken were 684!

So that is a sample of how YOU probably grew up. Yes, you more than likely grew up speaking up to 10 times more negative words than you spoke positive.

Add to that the following fact:
The average person has close to 85,000 negative thoughts every day.

Now we have the reason for needing to make these assertive declarations EVERY DAY.

So what can affirmations do for you?
When you start to make assertive declarations every day you are reprogramming your brain from all of the negative influences that you were brought up hearing, and most likely still hear around you.

Note that the word “ASSERTIVE” is found in the definition of affirmation.

When you speak these statements out loud, your brain will hear YOUR voice and begin to respond.

As you speak with conviction (assertiveness) your brain will take even more notice. When you make these same declarations every day your brain will begin to create a new track in your mind. The new track will be a positive one. If you are diligent to continue with the habit of making affirmations (OUT LOUD) every day this track will replace the old negative one.

NOTE:
For these affirmations to REALLY “work”, you cannot simply make declarations every day and expect miracles to happen.

You will certainly notice some definite changes in your life as your brain responds to the positive words. However for the miracle to be complete in your life you also need to ACT.

Faith words plus ACTION will lead to miracles.
