Change Your Life by Changing Your Mind

The mind is so powerful. It is your engine directing your life. Hence your life is controlled by your mind. If you change your mind you change your life.

You are the result of your mind habits and your future is shaped by the way you will continue to think.

Here are some few negative habits that you should consider changing if you want to realise your dream.

Feeling the world owes you something
Why should the world owe you anything? Your country owes you nothing! Get over it. Common sense should tell you that you have to work for everything and that’s what you should expect. Looking for opportunities based on their own merits sounds insane. It’s a poverty mentality.

Feeling sorry for yourself
Bad things happen. A normal person regrets and feel sorry for it. However the longer you stay feeling sorry for yourself the more destructive it is. Get over it and move on.

Avoiding change
‘Many people want to progress in life but they do not want to change.’ Progress and success are accompanied by change. If you do not change you remain the same and in the same place.

Change is inevitable. Embrace it. Adapt and move forward.

Repeating mistakes
Doing the same thing and expect different results. ‘The definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting a different result- Einstein. Accept responsibility. Learn from past mistakes and do not repeat them. The truly resilient take this truth to heart.

Envy and Resentment
Envy, jealousy and resentment suck your energy. They do not contribute anything positive. Do not compare yourself to anyone. Each person is unique and produces unique results. If you feel cheated or let down learn to forgive and move on.

Trying to please everyone
It feels good to make someone happy. In addition they praise you. If you are insecure it becomes addictive. You are constantly trying to make everyone happy to get a quick good feeling. By the end of the day you find that you are trying to please everyone except you. Be kind but learn to say no. You cannot be liked by everyone.
