Individuals who experience more success tend to be able to avoid or successfully dispute troubling thoughts and beliefs. In the article below, author Mara Gold offers some thoughts about three particular mental roadblocks to avoid. See if you see yourself in any of these.
Successful people think differently. They see problems as opportunities and know how to leap over setbacks today to successes tomorrow. The rest of us have to stop stepping on our own toes and find ways to adopt the success mindset that can help us get through the hard times. Here are some mindsets you want to avoid if you want to create more successful outcomes.
Blaming the Situation
Some people will always be stuck because they think that the situation has to change before they begin working toward their life goals. One year it is their beat up car with the missing window and the am radio, the next year it is the economy. Always it is another excuse why they do not have to get started and start working on their dream. Unfortunately, complaining about the situation not only gives them an excuse to cop out on their dreams but also it creates a vibration that continues to attract these undesirable conditions and root the person in failure.
Set your mind to making the changes you can that lead you in the direction of your dreams, no matter what is going on around you, and you will attract more solutions than situations. Maybe you will not always see the solution at first, but if you are looking and expecting to find a solution you can begin working on, you will see that a success mindset attracts success.
Blaming the Feedback
Some people are stuck because they cannot process and respond to the feedback they receive. Upon hearing that their work is below par they strike back with excuses and arguments against the feedback or the person who provided the feedback. Like students who blame the test for their failure, these people hold themselves back. Worse than that, they make enemies of those who might help them, who may not give valuable feedback so easily again.
People who want to succeed ask for feedback so they can make improvements. Receive feedback gratefully, even when you do not agree, so that others are not afraid to offer advice you might do well to heed.
Blaming the Radio Station
People who have abdicated responsibility for their life choices can become locked into a mindset where they believe their lives are programmed for failure. They may blame the messages they received in their childhood or a bad marriage for the negative mindset they allow to dominate their outlook.
Those with the success mindset do not respond with defeat when faced with a problem. They write and speak the words that will drown out the old programs from the past. They stay focused on their goals and work for their success. They surround themselves with positive messages and embrace friendships and activities that strengthen their well being.
You can get off the blame train and start living the life of your dreams. You can adopt the success mindset that allows people to face down adversity without fear and see through to their overall victory. If you keep blaming your situation, the feedback you receive, or the programmed messages you hear for the life you are leading, you risk remaining stuck where you are.
