The Magic of Growth Mindset
Thoughts and imagination become things.
Ever since I was young, I’ve had a growth mindset. My parents often tell stories of how I would elaborately describe my future and how they would desperately try to temper my imagination in hopes of shielding me from disappointment. Lucky for me, my ambitious aspirations couldn’t be subdued. I thank my paternal grandmother for this. She was an amazing woman who raised eight children (seven of them rambunctious boys) and had an impenetrable spiritual core. Instead of worrying, my grandmother trusted in the best outcome, no matter the circumstance. As witness to my grandmother’s unwavering faith, I learned to hold an innate belief that my dreams would always come to fruition—and they did. My friends would call me a magician, and to be honest, I couldn’t explain my good fortune. It wasn’t until I read Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” that I discovered the “magic” I was experiencing was something others experienced too.
In his book, Hill wrote about how your mindset is more conducive to success than any other feature, including money, education, or knowledge. The person who thinks they can accomplish something is already a step closer toward their imagined goal. Essentially, you can become anything your mind can conceive.
To start, it’s essential that you’re able to precisely articulate your visions and make them your dominant thoughts.
If you act like, feel like, and truly believe you already have what you envisioned, it will happen. It just may not always happen when or how you perceived it would.
The most common cause of blocked manifestations is disbelief.
To push beyond this rut and discuss how you can reach an elevated level of thinking, schedule a complimentary consultation with us. Because as the great Henry Ford once said, “Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you are right.”
