Mindset
One of the main things we have control over is our way of thinking. The extent to which you believe this to be true is true for you, the extent to which you believe this to be false is false to you. And to quote Henry Ford: “Whether you think you can or not, in any case you are right”.
The question is: are you ready to take control of your mind? Things could be going terribly wrong in your life; the question is, how do you see it and what are you prepared to do to make things right again? R Buckminster Fuller puts it this way, “Wealth is the progressive mastery of matter by the mind”.
Anthony Robbins tells a wonderful story about how he was once poor, then rich, and then poor again. This second time of poverty was through the actions of an associate. He realized that he had a choice: he could turn around and ‘play dead’ or take life and draw up a plan for success and this is exactly what he has done to date. He clearly adopted a ‘can do’ mindset in the most challenging place in his life.
When we think, we are creating things. We create what we think. What if you found out you had no money to pay your bills, to buy food, to catch the next bus to that much-needed interview, to get that much-needed job, to put that much-needed meal on your table? And to pay those bills? What would you do? It seems to me that there are many options: you could find yourself on the streets without food or shelter or you could say, well, I have nothing to lose, I have some skills, I have some ideas, I have a broader perspective. view of myself than this, I am going to start my life. Throughout history and certainly some of the millionaires we know today have had to do just that. It’s no secret and it’s well documented in his books that Les Brown lived at his workplace for a while, without anyone knowing. Robert Kiyosaki tells us that at one point in his life he lived in his car and could go on.
