Mindsets that Feed and Foster Success

If we want to achieve success in our lives, we have to take an inventory of how we are thinking.  The mindsets that we own and foster create the lens through which we see our world.  This lens has a powerful effect on our outcomes.  It determines success or failure in our careers, relationships, finances and the vision we desire for our future as well as any other area of progress that we wish to achieve.

Whether it is a new goal that we want to reach or an old habit or addiction that we want to be free from, we must approach our healthy desires with mindsets of truth, hope and positivity.  When we simply try harder and desire more, we end up once again feeling discouraged and disappointed.  This risky cycle can lead to the trap of learned helplessness.

The good news is that there is hope for lasting change and consistent success in our lives and the key is that is in our heads.  As we think, we become.  When we examine the areas of our life that are bringing us pain and disappointment we can realistically identify the mindsets behind those areas and exchange them for logical, positive and productive mindsets that feed and foster success..

Takeaways:

  • Learn the powerful connection between mindsets and outcomes
  • Examine the process and usefulness of taking a “mindset inventory”
  • Discover the technique of positive exchange as it relates to mindsets that feed and foster lasting change and success in our personal and professional lives
