It’s all about your mindset.
Put it on the line. Take the failure risk. It will be your biggest regret if you don't.
Everything you do. Everything you think. Everyone you meet. All of your experiences. How you choose to interpret those experiences. Everything is all about your mindset.
It’s the most important part to any person. And it’s completely under your control.
It’s completely in your hands. You control what you make of the things and people and places you experience. You control what kind of day you have. You control how you interpret and react to everything that happens around you.
You. Not anyone else. You.
At the end of the day sometimes all we have is ourselves. Our mindsets. Our perceptions.
How we choose to view the world and everything and everyone around us. Every second of every minute of every hour of every day of the rest of our lives, we have the opportunity to make meaning out of the meaningless, the happiness, the sadness, the anger, the pressure.
So much potential and hope and power exists in that one simple thought. That we are in complete and absolute control of one of the most important, most defining and most impactful things in our lives:
Our PERCEPTIONS
?Here’s 15 simple, effective and easy to implement ways to improve your mindset.
#1 Always look at the bright side, but never forget to be realistic.
#2 Learn how to forgive everyone, including yourself, but never forget.
#3 Don’t hold grudges. Life is too short.
#4 Learn from everything and everyone that challenges or supports you. You can take away something from every situation with any person even if it may not always be rainbows and butterflies.
#5 Look for the best in everything and everyone. The best will always exist. Look for it. Find it.
#6 Be careful of what you say and do. There’s no taking anything back.
#7 Do the right thing. Do the honest and truthful thing.
#8 Just because you don’t know something doesn’t mean it’s not true. It doesn’t mean it’s true either, but don’t rule it out.
#9 Give things and people a chance. Give them a second chance.
#10 Don’t pretend to know things you don’t. Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not.
#11 Don’t expect anything from anyone or anything, and set yourself up for failure and disappointment in the process. No one and no thing owes you anything. Rely on yourself, and others will learn to rely on you and you’ll learn who to rely on.
#12 Don’t beat yourself up. You’re always going to think your mistakes are so much worse than they actually are. In reality, you’re the only one focusing all of your time and attention and energy on your mistakes. It’s never as bad as it seems. Never.
#13 Learn to move on and focus on what’s to come, rather than what’s already happened. There’s no changing that. You can’t move forward if you’re too busy holding onto the past.
#14 Move forward. Move on. Life will always go on. With or without you. Don’t get left behind. Sometimes all you can do is just pause life and be with yourself. Just exist. Remind yourself of what that feels like, and of what you want from your life and from yourself.
#15 Find your purpose. Find your dreams and chase them. Everything that happens in between you and your purpose or your dreams will either attempt to hold you back and serve as obstacles, or will push you forward and serve as forms of encouragement.
It’s all about your mindset.
Your reactions are all about your perceptions and interpretations.
These concepts are everything.
Take a moment and look at yourself from someone else’s point of view. Look in the mirror. Do you like what you see? Do you like who’s looking back at you?
Are you moving away from the someone that you used to be? The someone that you used to know? The someone that you want to be? Is it for the better or are you becoming unrecognisable, even to yourself?
Always remember that you are in complete control of your own life.
You are in complete and total control of your own interpretations and your own perceptions and your own reactions and your own mindsets.
Don’t ever let anyone or anything take that away from you.
Take back that control which is rightfully yours.
Find those people who encourage you to do the same.
Take back your lives together.
To Your Success!

Ash, the 15 ways to improve your mindset are all very good. ?You may not have mentioned it directly, but all of us will fail at some point, and how we respond to failure will affect our mindset. ?For example, looking on the bright side (#1), looking for the best in everything (#5) and not beating yourself up (#12) will help in dealing with failure and moving forward.
