E4 - The Birth of a Successful Mindset
Knowing what you want will motivate you to reach it. The goal has to be exciting and challenging.
Proper goal setting is important as it will help you to hit the target without worrying about the deadline. If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you. Set high goals and don’t stop until you reach them.
Your goal is your target and the clearer you see it, the more focused you will be in your path to reach it. Living with a clear intention will help you get rid of distractions and fly straight to your goals.
If you are clear and specific with what you want to achieve in life, you are already setting yourself up to win. You’ll do much better than most people who are blurred with their life’s purpose. If you have the sound wisdom of emotional and personal satisfaction, then it will be easy for you to achieve a goal-setting mindset.
It is time for you to take charge of your life and create the amazing success you want by intentionally moving toward your clear goal.
3. Learning Mindset
If you want to succeed, you must aim for growth. Change is possible if we believe in that. Start believing in your capacity to achieve greatness, and you’ll find that everything in your life will follow suit.
There are a couple of things I would like to point out when talking about growing through the learning process. Just because you are struggling, that doesn’t mean you’re not learning. Every failure has something to teach you, and everything you learn helps you grow.
If you are unwilling to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.
Don’t Be Afraid to Fail
For many, it’s the fear of failure that stops them from achieving great things. However, that can be taken care of by learning new skills, getting better at certain tasks, and developing new approaches.
In the process of failure, consider all your mistakes as a way to grow. Sometimes, taking the risk may be scary, but remember that the more you fail, the more you will learn and grow.
Master New Skills
Mastering new skills can be very challenging, but you need to remember that it doesn’t happen overnight. We’re never as good as we possibly can be at a given skill as soon as we start practicing it. It takes work and time to master.
Whenever you embark on learning a new skill, stop putting pressure on yourself. Instead, understand that you will encounter struggles. Simply focus on your learning journey, starting small, and building your skills bit by bit from there. Progress will get visible over time, which reinforces your confidence when it comes to learning.
Be Curious
Being curious is a great characteristic that can be developed for a success mindset. Curiosity will open your mind to the many possibilities, focusing on what can be learned. It’s a great way to practice not being attached to just one way of doing things
To encourage curiosity, work to quiet your inner critical voice and act despite fears. Start by asking questions: How? Why? Why not?
According to Zimmerman, a thirst for knowledge is something that can never be quenched and should be a lifelong quest. She explained that having an endless supply of curiosity is key to seeing beyond what’s in front of you, discovering what you are truly capable of, and keeping yourself in a growth mindset.
