Mindset- Your Blue Print for Success and Your Mission Statement

I felt it necessary to include an article on mindset, as this is key to our success, and happiness- which in my view is crucial as part of the relaxation and positive concepts of this website.

A blue print for our success is vital to achieve our life's mission statement to the full.

This point can also tie in with motivation, as is described on our

motivation

page, and

goal settings page

and so on.

The way we think dictates the way we are as people, and our achievement capacity.

Putting it another way, if we feel we can’t, then we can not.

Reciprocally, when we think we can, we are more than halfway there.

This concept has been tried and proven over many decades, and there are numerous books on the subject to give you more detail. However, for the purpose of my point, please take my word for it at this stage.

I have also made mention in another page that visualisation plays an important role in our ability to succeed, and to tie all these concepts together, I would like to point out that we all need a ‘Why”- a reason to do the things we do, a reason to face the challenges we have, and overcome them, and follow through to bigger and better things.

This all comes under the concept of our mindset- being focused, goal oriented, and persistent.

An example of persistence is that Thomas Edison had found 10,000 ways how a light bulb would not work! However, he finally cracked it (excuse the pun), and succeeded by being persistent. He had a ‘Why’, a reason to succeed, and he persevered.

I would like to put something to you…

If your ‘Why’ does not make you cry, you don’t have a big enough ‘why’!

Far too many people lead, ordinary, or even under utilised lives, as they do not extend themselves beyond the mundane boundaries of day to day living. I realise this may seem a little strong, but I make no excuse for this. Our minds are more powerful than the most powerful computers today, and only because of external conditioning, do we not always push beyond the boundaries.

Please excuse me if you feel I am pushing your buttons, but know that I mean to push you to look beyond the square, and aim higher. Positive relaxation is about a relaxed life, with achievement and success.

Persistence is that which will win the day. It is impossible to fail with persistence.

Consider this life mission statement:

“The purpose of my life is to be the loving and excited person that was created to enjoy my passion for life through my actions”

This is something that motivates me to be the best I can, to always aim higher and achieve more.

This is no way suggest I am not content with my lot, but it is absolutely OK to strive for newer goals and successes, as the day we stop, we start to go backwards!

One final thought if I may... Please remember that in life, we go through what I call the emotional rollercoaster. Sometimes, we are up, and sometimes, we are down. This is not only OK, but normal. However, very importantly, we need to train ourselves that being on the low is something that we accept, and then move on to climb on to the top again, as we need to concentrate on spending much of our time on the way up, or near the top.

I will make a point of writing about this regularly in my monthly EZine, as this is a really important issue to me.

Be the change you can be!
