Altering Mindsets

Controlling actions by changing mindsets is done by more than just memorizing that you need to do things a certain way. It is more than just learning a new habit. It comes right down to the core of who you are. Your mindset is the core reason for everything you do and how you do it. It’s the reason you are happy and can be the reason you are not. You need to drill deep down to your mindset and you need to be able to do it effectively.

Your actions have an unmistakable and unwavering chain of command that starts at the top - your mindset.

The entire study of mindsets is not based on new age science or contemporary psychology. Scholars have known about this for a while. Examining mindsets is not just reserved for psychologists and scientists. You can ─ and need to ─ do it yourself, because there is no better person than you who understands what makes you tick. You just need to cultivate the necessary time and patience to look inward. When you do, you will realize that it is your mindset that is at the root of everything you do and your lot in life. It is what banishes you to the depths of despair, and it is also what can raise you to greatness.

The human brain is physical, obviously. It is tangible. If you scan it, you can identify various clumps of neurons and even map out their functions. The mind, on the other hand, is intangible. You could not pick it out from a scan. You couldn’t even pick it out if you peered inside your skull.

There is only one way you can alter your mind and change your mindset, and that is by conscious intervention. Mindsets are what make the difference in whether you fail forward to succeed or fail backward to perish. The shape of our mindset is determined by our environment. From the experiences we have to the entertainment we engage in, it has an impact on who we are and what we do. It can make you great or it can destroy you if you leave it to its own devices. Some mindsets are excruciatingly difficult to change, requiring that you meditate, reflect, take on new habits and so on. But fortunately, accessing and altering the mindset that changes your view of failure is not so complex, yet has a far-reaching effect. You only need to change one thing about it ─ and that is to understand, with all evidence you can find ─ that failure is not catastrophic; instead, failure is the process of learning.

The more you attempt and fail, the more you know that process. The more you know that process, the more you become an expert. The more you become an expert on that process, the more you distinguish yourself from others. That’s the point where your true value takes flight.

Your need to alter your mindset and unshackle yourself from the thing that has been holding you back is very real.
