Taking Your Life To the Next Level

     Nick Vujicic, Helen Keller, Thomas Edison and D. Gary Young were people who overcame extraordinary obstacles to live lives most only dream of. Nick, born without arms and legs, Helen, born deaf and blind, Thomas Edison born a genius but labeled stupid, didn't talk until 4 years old and didn't read til 7. Gary, at 24 had a near fatal  logging accident that left him in a wheelchair for 13 years. These folks are ordinary people that wanted more out of life. They wanted Extraordinary lives for themselves but also for others. They fought through negative thinking (theirs and others), negative mindset, making over their belief system that would take them to the top. They drew a mind picture, a vision focusing on the end results and putting themselves there.
    
 I don't know about you but, my childhood was anything but normal. My early home life was unstable and a mess of disfunction. When I was just four me and six of my siblings were put into a children's home, Eastern Star Villa, where i'd spend the next seven years. I won't go into a lot of detail but suffice to say a negative belief system about self image set in along with insecurities galore.  Abandonment issues, starved of love and affection put me on a life long course of having to overcome my own Inner obstacles or Mindset. What is mindset? The established set of attitudes held by someone.

     No matter where my feelings of worthlessness came from, as I grew older my own inner dialog of "I can't", I'm not deserving", "He/she/they/nobody likes me", "no one cares about me", they will just leave me anyway" stopped me from reaching out for the life I wanted. Do any of you carry these same negative thoughts? Are they hindering you from your true self?
     I know I have greatness within me to accomplish what I want. I know you have greatness too. But, our Mindset toys with our achieving our best and our dreams. Inner childhood voices, our mindset, must be radically rewired if we are to achieve our potential. Do you sometimes react very strongly to things and don't know why? Even surprising yourself at your reaction? Are you angry without real cause? Do you have unexplained fears?
     It has little to do with the situation and everything to do with a mindset that was created between ages 1-6. The way you were spoke to as a child, the example of parents, guardians, supervisors and teachers, how those of authority in your life dealt with everyday problems and stresses, these are the ones that contributed to your core belief system, your mindset, that would carry you through life, UNLESS of course, you change it.
     Take time to think about it. Could your Mindset use tweaking? Write down a few areas where you would like to see changes in your thinking. I'll pass on some tips that I learn from some of the greats that will help you get rid of some of your negativity by replacing it by practice a positive approach
     Until then, happy hump day. Enjoy the rest of your week.
