Having the Right Mindset

It all begins with a decision. Without this, your plans are doomed to failure. Just imagine that you have a high potential business plan that can make you a millionaire if just a few years. But the business plan wouldn’t make you a millionaire if you don’t develop it, it won’t work by itself. If not developed, it will be just another ordinary business plan that will stay on the shelf, it will be useless.

Before every successful man stays a right mindset. A successful man won’t bother searching for the empty or the full half of the glass, but he will drink it. This mentality is called opportunism. You look for opportunities and take them without wasting your time looking at the pros and cons of that opportunity. This is the main reason many people don’t take opportunities. If you think: everything has it’s own pros and cons, so why bother analyzing them deeply, make studies about them, and eventually, waste or loose the opportunity?

Having a positive attitude is also a must in becoming a successful person. If you just have a negative attitude you won’t be able to see the opportunities and also you will influence negatively other people having a negative attitude. This will make them go away from you. Why? They will see that they will have a negative attitude (especially those who have a positive one), they will look out to see what drags them down (this may be you) and then they will stay away from you because you influence them negatively.

On the other hand, having a positive attitude will influence others positively and will attract people to you: they will want to spend time with you because you make them to have a positive attitude and feel better about life.

“Having a positive attitude attracts people.”

It is so easy to influence negatively and is so hard to influence positively. Here comes the part where you have to be also a powerful person. You need to be like this in order to influence other people positively and not be influenced negatively. This takes some time and you need to invest in yourself in order to become like that. But the hard part is not to become a powerful person, but to maintain this. We will talk about being an influent and powerful person with another occasion, maybe tomorrow.

What I challenge you to do is to change your way of thinking. This will be hard, but it will worth in the end. Others will see the change and even you will be impressed by yourself thinking and behaving in that way.

Now I would like to share with you a speech of john Maxwell about how successful people know their purpose in life.
