Here are a few habitual mindsets we should unlearn to reach real success. Never give up I’m all for indomitable will. You certainly have to be willing to work hard and make sacrifices to reach your dreams. We all know the value of money and I would never prevent the opportunity for another person to learn the same. But this mindset can easily be overdone. It becomes insane when used at radical levels. If insanity is defined as repeating the same action while expecting a different result, then this mindset certainly fits that category. I can do anything with hard work Hard work won’t always win you success. In fact, hard work is often the thing you need to avoid. Hard work is valuable to a point but you can’t let it define your pursuit of happiness. Nonetheless, hard work spent over hours can take away from time you could spend simplifying your business and creating better solutions. Refining your relationships and making room for bigger results. Relying on your own two-hands for hours on end is great practice if you plan to be a leg-worker for the rest of your life. However, if you’re aiming at greater independence and freedom you’ll need to be a little more dynamic, the recipe is more like hard work mixed with creative thought. Success defines me Enjoying success is a natural part of the human experience. Something we all need to experience for the sake of having a healthy psyche. However, letting success define us is usually an indication on a poor self-image. Real value comes from within. We should never value any thoughts more than our thoughts about ourselves. It affects our health, our relationships, and our success. To solve this poor mindset you have to answer the question; why do I really want success? Am I craving success because I want to have power? An honest self-examination will help you get better insight as to why success may be a defining feature of your self-image. The truth of the matter is that success and failure will come and go, but you’re craving consistent happiness just like everyone else is. There’s not a chance in the world you’ll be consistently happy if you are always chasing success as a concept. I’m successful as long as I win more of than I lose Success and failure are temporary things. We need to accept that or reality is going to become a very difficult thing to live with. Successes and failures will come and go. Successful people are very aware of that fact and live in harmony with that ever-changing flow. The love of my life is going to come to me on my own terms Not true; love is free. It will never bow down to your terms. It doesn’t even care to know what they are. To experience love you need to participate in it. Jump into the flowing river of love that exists in the world. Human love is built from relationships. You have to connect with ‘agents of consciousness’ said another way, hearts & souls, fellow humans, that are completely & often very separate from you. Consider this… The odds you being born as you are are 1 in 400 trillion. Plus, there are approximately 7.15 billion humans alive right now. That’s close to 10% of all human beings that have ever lived. Those few billion don’t compare to the trillions of people it would take to statistically create another just like you. Ergo, finding love on your terms is quite mathematically insane. The point of this human experience is be dynamic. Continue growing through every birthday we celebrate. If we’re looking for love on our terms then we’re setting ourselves up for an awful lot of self-indulgent idleness. You’re not trying to increase your level of perception. You’re not trying to learn a new skill. You’re just letting your mind sit there with its arms folded waiting for love to knock on your front door. Love is one of the most fulfilling experiences a human being can have. It lights up the brain on an MRI. It makes you feel stupid. You end up taking more risks. More importantly the phenomenon of getting to know someone through love builds new syntactical maps in your brain that have never been there before. Love literally builds you. So to find real love and enjoy what love really is; be open to looking outside of yourself for it. Just not before you learn to love yourself!
