Have You The Right Mindset To Be Successful?
When you awake each morning, what is your first thought?
Is it something like, “Oh no, not morning already!!”, or, “I don’t want to go into work today…”, or, “What problems am I going to face today?”, or, “Fill in the blank…………”.
Then when you’ve said it, or, thought it, how does your day go?
Did you realise that you have a choice, to have either a good day or bad day?
If you get into the habit of “choosing” a good day first thing, you will find how much easier it is to deal with “issues” that come your way. It is also a good habit to develop the right mindset to be successful.
It is one thing generating the success, but, it is entirely a different thing to keep that success. If you want to enjoy it AND keep it as well gain more success, then NOW is the time to start. Not only will you see a difference in yourself and your life, but, others will notice it.
A lot of us while we growing up were taught “what to think” instead of “how to think”. Also, as we grew up, our ability to use our imagination was knocked back because we weren’t paying attention in class. That is a great shame, it is a main part of “seeing” where you want to be in your life.
Hint: If you have kids, it is important that they develop their imagination when at home. Tell them stories and encourage them to make up their own. It will help greatly in their successes in life. Create a happy environment for them and as they grow, they will look to emulate that in their lifestyle. Isn’t that what we want for them?
With regards to people being successful, you have the stories where they have won a lot of money, but ended up worse off. This has been more down to not having the mindset to cope with the sudden influx of a large amount money. Those that learn to do it quickly make the most of it and enjoy it.
What are your thoughts about money? Are they positive? Write them down, you may surprise yourself!! Once they’ve been written down, those that are negative, rewrite them so they become a positive. Then read them over and over until you rid yourself of that negative thought.

I agree with you that it’s important to teach kids How to Think. I believe it’s as important as How to Read, but it’s been sadly neglected in schools.
The way the kids learn to use their minds will affect their entire lives, to a greater degree than any facts they’re set to memorise, or even any qualifications they gain.
They need to be taught how to think logically, draw valid conclusions and avoid making false assumptions, whether they be about their own abilities, or about how the world works.
As you say, nurturing a success mentality is crucial, and exercising the imagination is vital too. Kids can have fun imagining favourite ideas for their futures, for instance, designing lives for themselves.
This can be useful as well as fun. It’s often said that for many people, the reason they don’t have what they want in life is that they never really put any thought into deciding what that was.

Hi James
Many thanks for your comment, I’m glad I’m not the only one to think what I’ve put in this post.
Hopefully, others will share this thinking and start to do something about it to give children the best opportunity to succeed, no matter what their circumstances or environment. Each has the same chance to excel!!
Here’s to continued and increased success!!

Hi Malcolm,
Mindset is so critical to everything we get in life, isn’t it? Success is just one of those things.
I’ve put several posts on my blog as well about the mental aspect of success because I think it of paramount importance. I am doing whatever I can to have a mindset that allows me to be successful with P2S. I wish the same for you.

Hi Kathy
Thank you for your comment.
It is good to hear that you are taking the steps to get that mindset. Surprisingly, it’s not as hard as what some might think. If you think it is hard, it will be, if you think it will be easy, it also will be. Choose the easier way!!
I don’t know about you, but, thankfully, am coming across more and more people who realise that this is something that needs to be done with having the right mindset. For too long now, people have just allowed themselves to be tossed to and fro, feeling out of control.
Currently, am focusing on Yvonne’s blog http://www.yvonne-horton.com so that we can people take control and change their mindset.
I wish you every success in your venture!!
Kind regards
Malcolm
