How A “Beat Cancer Mindset” Can Help You Build A Successful Business
5 Tips to Gain the Beat Cancer Mindset
Chris Wark was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2003 around 26 yrs old.
Below is his 5 Mindsets he followed when he cured his cancer. When you read the excerpt below, replace the word cancer or health with business and/or life.
* Accept total responsibility for your health.
* Be willing to do whatever it takes.
* Take massive action.
* Make plans for the future.
* Enjoy your life and the process.
1) Accept total responsibility for your health.
The first question on a cancer patient’s mind after diagnosis is “Why did this happen to me? How did I get cancer?”
Many of the cancer-causing factors in your life can be removed and your risk of getting a recurrence or dying from cancer can be greatly reduced, just by your choices. Your choices matter. People who care about you are going to tell you the truth. Sometimes the truth stings a little, but the truth will set you free.
Accepting responsibility for your health starts with considering the possibility that cancer may be your fault.
Maybe some bad decisions, bad habits, or ignorance over the course of your life contributed to your cancer. I know mine did. There’s no need to beat yourself up about it or wallow in guilt, self-pity, or regret.
Instead, now is the time to evaluate your life, accept whatever part you played, and learn from your mistakes. Now is the time to identify the cancer causers in your life, radically change, and move forward.
Taking responsibility for your circumstance empowers you to take control of your life and to change for the better.
Every day in cancer clinics all over the world, patients are told that their cancer is probably the result of bad luck or bad genes.
This turns patients into victims.
You are not powerless and you are not a victim. The health or disease you are experiencing today is largely the result of the diet and lifestyle decisions you’ve made in the past.
Your choices matter!
2) Be willing to do whatever it takes.
Once you have accepted responsibility for your health, the next step is being willing to do whatever it takes to get well, which means being willing to turn your life upside down, to change everything. If restoring my health meant getting as close to nature as possible by sleeping in the woods in a tent, I was willing to do it.
I became a detective, determined to identify and eliminate anything in my life that may have contributed to my disease. I stopped eating to satisfy my appetite and sensual cravings and began eating to feed my cells, restore my health, and save my life. I wasn’t living to eat anymore; I was eating to live.
Most cancer patients have a strong will to live in the beginning, but unfortunately, most of them have also been convinced that “doing whatever it takes,” “living strong,” and “fighting cancer” just mean suffering through brutal and destructive cancer treatments.
the Beat Cancer Mindset means taking an active role in your health
and healing, not solely relying on someone else to cure you. I radically changed my diet and lifestyle. I gave up all the unhealthy food I loved to eat. I did every natural, nontoxic therapy I could find and afford. I faced my fears, admitted my faults, changed the way I thought, reached out to God and asked for help, and forgave everyone who had hurt me.
The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is not motivation. Motivation is unpredictable and unreliable.
It is easy to be motivated when you’ve started something new and exciting, but when the excitement wears off so does the motivation, and lack of motivation becomes an excuse for inaction.
What keeps people going when their motivation is low is determination.
