Life offers multiple choices to pick & design it the way we want. Many fail to encash that choice while a few banks on that opportunity to make a wonderful and meaningful life.
So what was different in their approach towards their life?
MINDSET.
Many, in their quest to fit in, mold their life based on the criteria defined by society. We are conditioned to accept the trend so as to blend in it. We are made to believe that one day we will find the purpose of our life and that will allow us to fit in more properly.
Even the smallest of our choices are conditioned by the Advertisement we see, by the things we listen to or by the influencer we hear. We choose what we are conditioned to choose from.
But that is not what successful people do or believe. They don't change or compromise their inner self to blend in but they chart their own part. They choose the ‘road less traveled’ to shape their life like they want it to be.
So, how MINDSET plays a role in all that?
By nature, all of us prefer the safe, reliable and comfortable choices. Whether it was to choose a place to sit in a classroom or to choose the career to pursue. We select what is comfortable and when we fill like something is missing, we wait to find it.
We slide into a fixed mindset and accept the way we are and the surroundings as it is. We believe that whatever we are, we will be that unless and until we find something or something will find us that will change our life for good.
We become a victim of the circumstance and continue to exist instead of living.
But not Succesful ones. They don’t just exist they live up to their full potential and some more. They are of the Growth Mindset.
Growth Mindset is described as the underlying beliefs that one has about learning and intelligence. If one thinks that they can get smarter and acquire new skills with some extra effort and time, they are bound to acquire those new skills.
Their belief/mindset guides them to new heights or new lows. If you want to explore more on the growth mindset, Carol Dweck explains it beautifully.
So, instead of waiting for something to happen, why not just go out there and make something happen.
Find your Passion.
Enhance your Skills.
Face the Unknown.
Overcome Challenges.
Shed away the Fear of Failure.
Bounce back after failure.
And all in all Breath in Positivity & Exhale Negativity.
Choose a life that matters to you and augments your inner-self instead of living it on the terms of others ’cause: Life Isn’t About Finding Yourself. Life Is About Creating Yourself.
(Choose what seems perfect to you as the entire words written over here highlight the cons of choosing what you are conditioned to choose and in the end, if I direct you choose one thing, then it might wash-away the entire intention of this writing.)
