Mind Over Matter

In life, we all face situations where our mindset can affect us negatively or positively! It is ultimately up to us which one we allow. There is one important thing we must do if we want to reach our full potential!

We have to change our “stinking thinking”! When life happens, we sometimes find ourselves in a state of what I call a “brain attack”. During this time, we only have negative thoughts and never try to find the positive in the circumstance or find a way to get through it. Instead, we mope around and let life happen instead of making things happen. We must get into a habit of thinking positive thoughts and not letting people or situations keep us down. When things happen, shake it off and get back on focus!

If people will tap into the power they possess within themselves, they will realize it is just a case of mind over matter. If you have a positive mindset, you can overcome any matter at hand! Always remember, “Your mindset determines your outcome.”

Be Willing To Grow

Growth can be defined as the process of developing or maturing physically, mentally, or spiritually. The aspect of growth that I want to focus on at this time is mental growth. Our thoughts are what affects our actions and our actions affect our growth. It is extremely important to realize that our growth is determined by the way we think. There are three issues about our thought process that can stunt growth.

First, there is the issue of self worth. A lot of us allow others to determine our worth from the way they express their feelings towards us. Self worth ties in with respect and if you don’t respect yourself, nine times out of ten, others won’t respect you either. Once you know your worth, you will realize you are valuable and that will open up the doors for growth. When those doors are opened you won’t be afraid to go through them because you will realize that you are more than capable to succeed.

Secondly, there is the issue of self doubt. Most of us never get to our ultimate destination because we don’t believe in ourselves. Once we gain confidence, it is then, that we are able to grow out of that doubt. To gain confidence, we can get as much knowledge and experience as possible in the area(s) that we are most passionate about. At that point, we can begin to follow our dreams with the belief that we have what it takes.

Lastly, there is the issue of self motivation. Motivation is one of the hardest things to do for yourself. That is why there are so many people who have put their dreams on the backburner. We have to be careful not to rely solely on others to motivate us. The best advice I can give concerning motivation is to “Turn your desire into drive.” Once you are aware of your desires, it gives you a blueprint for your dreams. If you think you can be successful, you can achieve it.

With all that being said, don’t be afraid to grow. Growing mentally is something that all of us should strive to do. We have to be WILLING to grow in order for any growth to take place. “Your mindset determines your outcome.”

Choices

We all have a choice…whether we make the right one or wrong one is up to us!  Many feel as though they don’t have a choice regarding there jobs and decisions, to name a few.  It may be because they have a family to take care of or maybe they feel the need to be looked highly upon by peers.  Whatever the case, we ALL have a choice.

As I sit here thinking back over my life, it is easy for me to have a pity party and feel bad about the wrong choices I made, but it is those same choices that made me who I am today!  I look at them as learning experiences!  Some choices I made were right while others were wrong.  Regardless of the outcome, I have not allowed it to deter me from my ultimate goal!

One of the most valuable assets in life is having a positive mindset!  You can’t define happiness by what you have or who you are, it is about what you think!

IT’S YOUR CHOICE!!!!!
