INTRODUCTION
Many people dream of being successful, yet they never achieve it. At times we have all failed. There are many reason why you may feel like a failure or that you will never be a success.
These are some of the reasons you might recognize for your own failure as :
- Procrastication
It's normal to procrastinate a little, but often we put off doing difficult or unpleasant tasks that we have to do and end up sabotaging ourselves.
Procrastination is the number one thing to fix if you want to be successful. Your mindset will suffer when you procrastinate because you're not thinking about being productive or about moving towards your goal; in fact you're doing the opposite by avoiding that.
- Fear
Fear of failure and fear of success can both stop you from achieving high-level success. Success means change, setting new goals and a defined line between before and after. This fear is about what prevents your mind from being in the right mindset for success. Sometimes we're even guilty of sabotaging ourselves ( through procrastination ourselves other means ) so that we "prove" our fear right by not being successful.
A fear mindset is one where everything is seen as too risky or too dangerous which means you'll never move forwards. Conquering the fear mindset is the hardest thing for many people who are not naturally optimistic or courageous.
- Being Unrealistic
Part of dreaming about being sucessful is that it has'nt happened yet. When we imagine things it can be both good or bad. Those dreams can drive us to achieve further or they can always be just out of reach so we eventually give up because we never achieve them.
Setting the right goals and being able to motivate yourself is important in being successful because if you set unrealistic goals you'll always feel like a failure. There's a very good analogy about teaching fish to climb trees which illustrates this. If you think you're always a failure then maybe it's because you're setting the wrong goals.
- Being Unsure of your path
Part of success is knowing where you're going. You might have a vision of where you want to be but no real understand of how to get there. Without having an idea of your route you may freeze up, instead choosing to stay in a "safe" and known place rather than risk the change that may come with success or the shame of taking yourself down a failed pathway.
If you want to be successful then you need to tackle these behaviours and more if you want that to happen. Change can be difficult, it can be hard, but by changing these behaviours using these simple ways you can start cultivating the right mindset to be successful.
BE WILLING TO CHANGE
There is nothing more threating to a success mindset than not being able to change you cannot be anything more than what you already are and therefore cannot be successful.
On your journey there will be failure, there will be success, there will be change and there will be surprises or things you did'nt plan for : To have a success mindset you need to cultivate your ability to adapt to change and to be more accepting which will help stop you being afraid of success.
Step 1. Embrace Opportunities
Step 2. Accept Everything, Even failure
Step 3. Conquer Fear
SEE FAILURE AS A SUCCESS
The great chinese General Sun Tsu wrote a book on war tactics. While you may not be waging a battle, much of his advice can be applied to life situations. One of his most powerful pieces was to see failures as a form of success.
Step 1. Learn From Your Mistake
Step 2. Keep Going
CONCLUSION
If you dream of being successful then you need the right mindset.
The 5 ways you can cultivate this are :
- Be willing to change or always be a failure.
- See failure as opportunity but never an end.
- Set better goals to motivate yourself.
- Embrace positivism to help push yourself forwards.
- Be grateful for how far you've come so you can keep going.
