MINDSET - NEW VISION - TIME TO LOOK THROUGH A NEW SET OF LENSES

Mindset - The established set of attitudes held by someone.

Over this past year or so, with the pandemic overload, economic crisis, racial imbalances, gender battles, and Wars that have spread worldwide; many people have shifted their old ways of thinking and doing.  

As a nation we have gone through many necessary changes, and far too many uncomfortable situations.  We truly are in a state of “transition”.   We must move forward and find balance with all that is happening around us.   There is so much information on social media bashing us in the face daily, that it is hard to process it all, and put it into perspective.

As we push forward our thoughts, views and mindset have changed!  They have to change, as nothing stays the same forever. 

There is that word – Mindset!

The mind, our thoughts, the brain…

As children growing up, we have all experienced different things in our lives.   When looking back we can fondly remember wonderful moments in time, or we can feel the pains of the past.  As we have grown up, many of us have pondered over the fact that life could have been changed if we experienced different things.   Life could have been better if someone maybe stepped in to help out a child or young adult in need of being removed from a bad situation or environment.

Many thoughts, and different scenario’s shroud our minds!

How does mindset play into all of this?

We all have ideas, dreams, and goals.   How do we get from point A to B?    It is about mindset!

It all begins with a dream.   As children we dreamed of doing so many incredible things.  The childlike mind knowing NO limitations.   What a wonderful place to be in that “childlike” techno-colored world.

It is there, that incredible things can and will happen.   We must go back to the beginning, and tap into what fuels our passion.   What was that inner drive that excited you? WE must remember.    

Once you tap into that inner energy, that is where a whole new mindset will begin.  

Dream it

Game Plan

Motivation

Do it

Success

I have always said, that “Mindset is the key to success” 

Hard work and determination open doors, but true passion opens the mind.  

I believe this whole-heartedly, because I have lived it.  The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.  I have been to the lowest of lows, and the highest of highs.

What was it that got me to those highs -- Mindset!!

I always set goals for myself, and I also envisioned myself already there.   Once I have that vision in my mind, I push forward with very strong determination to reach my final destination.  It is with that powerful mindset, I can see it through, and ultimately reach my goals.

I have had people argue the fact that if you envision yourself already there, you will become lazy and not make it happen.   I beg to differ (my opinion).

Throughout my life, a strong mindset is what helped me through some of the most difficult times on my journey.    Mindset is a practiced skill, but once you begin to focus on it, many incredible things begin to happen.

It is time to work on “self-talk”!  Be your own cheerleader, and walk yourself through the process.   You can write your goals in a journal, and begin each new day with reading them out loud to yourself.  Let the words sink in.  Then get to work!

Also, write quotes and phrases that resonate with you, and keep them close at hand.  When you begin to doubt yourself, pull out those notes and read them over and over again.   Work towards changing your negative thoughts to positive ones.

It is amazing when you listen to your own voice, as you state your intensions out loud.   As you hear the words, absorb them, use them as fuel to ignite your internal flame, and let this help you propel forward towards victory!

Begin by replacing “I can’t” with “I will”.   Focus, focus, focus.    As your move forward you will find that all of these self-help tools really do work.   It doesn’t happen in a day, or even a week, but it does happen.  Before you know it, you will be applying these skills to your everyday life.

The best part is that it is contagious!

When other people see you determined and thriving in life, they are going to pay attention and follow your lead.   Of course, everyone wants to know the answer to this big question - “How are you succeeding in life, and what is the secret”?   

The answer - MINDSET — My Motto for 2023 has been, “Eye on the Prize” meaning set your goals, focus of the end results and work really hard to get there!

Focus on the journey, and how it will feel once you achieve your goals.

My Motto for 2024 is “Winning”

Tell yourself this is your year to Shine Brightly.

Being your own Cheerleader, and do not let the naysayers bring you down.

There will be people in your life that will throw doubt and negativity in your path.  It is your job to step over those dirty stones and keep on moving.

Do not let anyone break your stride. Food for thought!

Embrace the Journey,

God Bless,

Music Quote – Defying Gravity

It’s time to try defying gravity, I think I’ll try defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye, I’m defying gravity and you won’t bring me down

I’m through accepting limits  ‘Cause someone says they’re so,

Some things I cannot change but till I try, I’ll never know…. Elphaba WICKED
