“You have everything you need.  A miraculous body, a phenomenal brain and a vast powerful subconscious mind. Now it’s just a matter of focusing them in the right direction” James Allen  AS YOU THINK

Have you ever wondered what the secrets for success are?  How can you obtain a mindset for success.  A mindset is the way we approach the world. It’s our state of mind that affects our attitude to events and the ability to make decisions and therefore our results in our lives.  It’s actually up to us to take control of our minds.   Hard to believe isn’t it!  Yes, we can and do have the power to control our minds.  However, most people just plod along in life achieving wishy washy results and believing that this is their lot in life.

So, how do we do this?   I believe there are twelve components to creating a successful mindset so you can live a rich and full life and reach your potential. Here we will discuss the first one and that is PURPOSE, or the why.  Why are you doing what you are doing?  You need to get very clear about your purpose for doing what you are doing.   If you aren’t clear about your purpose you will probably not commit to the journey, get wishy washy results or change direction and never reach your full potential.  It has been said that a life without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder.  How would you steer, how would you get to where you wanted too?  You wouldn’t.  You would probably be washed up onto the rocks!  Too many of us are socially hypnotised by the media into believing that life just happens.  Too often people believe it’s too hard to keep going and give up on becoming truly successful.

Most people are full of reasons and excuses as to why they couldn’t do what they really want.  Perhaps you know someone who uses the excuse that they are too busy, or they don’t have enough money, or they have too many other commitments?   Remember though, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson and Warren Buffet all have the same amount of time as we do.  They are just committed to their journey, their purpose.

So, if you aren’t clear on your purpose, you need to spend some time considering this.  Ask yourself why you get up in the morning?  If you tell yourself you are getting up just to pay those rotten bills, well, that is all you will ever do.  Have a purpose, have a reason to get up in the morning. Sounds too simple?  Well it is simple.  It just takes a bit of thinking.  It could be something simple like “my purpose is to be the best wife/ husband I can be” Or, it could be “to become the best in my profession”, or it could be “to create a global company”.  It doesn’t matter if it’s huge or it seems small.

As long as you have a purpose you have a good starting point.  So make sure you are crystal clear on your purpose.  Once you are clear, then you can DECIDE to commit to the journey.  You can then set some goals and set out on the journey.  Just think about this.  When you get to the end of your road and your time runs out you don’t get a gold watch or even a handshake!  You will probably get buried or cremated!  So find a purpose to what you do with your time. Time is everything. You can never get it back, so USE IT WISELY. This is the first step to living a rich life. Read More→
