Mindset 101

Mindset 101

Kind of a dumb question, right?

We all have.

At some point, we’ve all felt like we weren’t enough.

Throughout my life, at some point or another I’ve felt like…

  • Whatever I wanted to accomplish was impossible...at least, for me.
  • I didn’t have the resources to get things done.
  • I wasn’t smart enough.
  • I wasn’t talented enough.
  • I didn’t look the part.
  • I didn’t have the right background.

And along the way, I think I was conditioned to believe things like…

  • Money was scarce.
  • Getting a stable job was the right thing to do.
  • Don’t question authority.
  • Don’t stand out and play to your strengths.
  • The opportunities in your town are the limits of what’s available to you.
  • Circumstances dictate results.
  • Being really successful or wealthy was for other people.

Do any of those sounds familiar to you?

Or, more importantly...have you ever experienced one or more of these feelings?

Well...along the way, I learned that they were all lies.

All of them.

Eventually, I was able to replace them with truths like…

  • I am smart enough.
  • I’ve got my own unique talents & strengths, so I should build around those.
  • There is more than enough opportunity.
  • How I respond to my circumstances is what will dictate my results.
  • It’s up to me to do the work.
  • Most things are possible.
  • Resources play much less of a role in success than effort, consistency & perseverance.

Yes, I still have those doubts & lies trying to creep into my mind from time to time…

...but I now know not to feed them.

Instead, I focus on the truths that have allowed me to achieve any of the successes I’ve accomplished along the way.

So when you find your mindset drifting to places that don’t serve you well...I’d suggest that you list out your own truths like the ones I just shared...and focus on those.

You can accomplish more than you think...but you have to believe it before you can live it.

Dedicated to Your Success,

Pat
