How Successful People Think

Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life You don’t need us, or any bestselling author to tell you that your own thoughts can be your best friend or your worst enemy.?

You are not in need of someone who will tell you what to do, but someone who would suggest a change that could elevate you.?There’s not a single person in the whole wide world, who believes that change is meaningless. We all have our baggage, and we must fight to preserve that sense of motivation that seems to stifle with each passing encounter.??

John argues that despite the diversity present among successful people, they have one thing in common: their mindset or how they think.

The question of the day is – what makes them more successful than you? And if there’s a formula to it, what it is?

This isn’t a metaphor but a literal interpretation of what predicts success not only in the workplace but overall. So, how to become a better thinker? Is it just one’s own innateness that determines the level of creativity or is it something one should fight to attain?

Albert Einstein on one occasion also implied that “thinking is hard” that’s why so few succeed.

But what kind of thinking is he referring to? Do you need to be critical or focus more on creativity as a means to achieve prosperity in your domain of authority.

There are a couple of things one must do in order to change its thinking habits:

• Exposure to new ideas
• Connect with extraordinary and smart people
• Choose your path
• Act upon the good thoughts swarming into your mind
• Make your emotions in tune with your mindset
• Rinse and Repeat

In all honesty, it’s okay if the process outlined here arouses suspicions regarding its applicability. Nonetheless, it’s your job not to put all your eggs into one basket, and keep plugging away despite the odds.

Finding the best spot for contemplation is one of the first things you should begin with. Some people prefer the shower, others in front of a big open fireplace.

The bottom line is, regardless of your preferences, a person really needs to find that special place where he/she could dive deep into thinking.

In other words, the sacred place we were just talking about should help you shape your mindset.

In the meantime, you’ll learn a thing or two about yourself, your urges and bad habits which keep you down.

And yes, it always starts with the mindset, because we tend to compare our bad habits of today’s self, with someone’s self that has been?morphed by good habits .

According to John Maxwell, the shaping process embodies:

• Humor: The thoughts which don’t seem to work, should be transformed into a comic interpretation
• Humility: The beautiful moments of establishing a connection with the Divine
• Excitement: It signifies the elation before a thought is put into action
• Creativity: When you veer off course and indulge in adopting a visionary approach
• Fulfillment: When the bond with God has reached a satisfactory level that yields fruits
• Honesty: When an idea goes into the implementation phase, a person becomes aware of its genuine motives
• Passion: When a thought storms into your mind, you get an aerial perspective of the mindset you wish to nurture
• Change: The good stuff is a direct result of the changes made through life

John even presents a formula that acts as a proof of how crucial your environment is in the pursuit of prosperity:

The Right?Thought?plus the Right?People

in the Right?Environment?at the Right?Time

for the Right?Reason?= the Right?Result

Should we discern the difference between “good thinkers” or is it just one thing? To some extent, this expression indicates that a person of high IQ, falls into this category, but according to others it might be a person capable of creative thinking.

Literally there are many interpretations, and none of these should be taken for granted.

Good thinking or productive thinking is similar to solving a puzzle. Even if you are a master, you cannot solve it without having all the missing pieces at your disposal. It’s impossible to act in your best interest if your abilities are limited.

If you take a critical view of this methodology, you’ll come to the conclusion that the big picture, is more important than short-term achievement.

Big-time achievers are learning-machines, to say the least. They are never pleased with the knowledge they have, and they strive to learn as they go.

An extraordinary method of expanding your horizons is nurturing the habit of listening. If you plan on making strides towards excellence, you should really consider the fact that you don’t know everything. The expertise of others can be of particular use to you if you’re open-minded.

Big-picture thinkers recognize that they don’t know lots of things. They frequently ask penetrating questions to enlarge their understanding and thinking. If you want to become a better big-picture thinker, then become a good listener.

Intuitively, you probably recognize big-picture thinking as beneficial. Few people want to be closed-minded. A?one sets out to be that way.
