Make YourSELF Proud

Why Your Mindset is Your Most Important Asset

Why Your Mindset is Your Most Important Asset

Do you remember the story of the "The Little Engine that Could" by Watty Piper? This popular children's story from the 1930's tells the tale of a small locomotive that successfully pulls a long train over a high mountain. There were many cars of Christmas toys which needed to make it to a town on the other side of a mountain. Large engines were asked to performed the task but refused. A smaller Engine took on the assignment and successfully got over the mountain by repeating over and over again "I-Think-I-can." Two very important factors fueled the success of the Little Engine:

1.  A Made Up Mind. If we have any hope of being successful at all it starts with a belief that success is possible and that we are capable of achieving it. 
2. Verbalizing Success. The Bible tells us that faith comes by HEARING. What we speak out of our mouths reinforces our confidence in our own abilities. He didn't say 'I-Think-I-Can" one time...he kept on saying it until achieved the goal.

What is that you desire? What goal would you like to reach? Make up in your mind that you are going to accomplish it and then make your words match your aspirations. Drown out the naysayers and any negative thoughts that might be lingering in your subconscious by repeating what you would like to manifest. Be specific. Say it with conviction. You are the Little Engine! Encourage yourSELF!

Why it's Important to Know What YOU Need

What I've learned by trial, error and revelation is that when you sign up for what you don't want then the outcome is what you don't need. Before you make a connection you need to understand your needs and your expectations. 

Ask yourSELF: What do I NEED from this scenario or individual? 

If the situation or the person is unable to meet or exceed those expectations then its time for you to move on. So many times we are disappointed by outcomes because we have not outlined our expectations or held ourselves accountable for honoring our own standards/morals/values. The best person to defend/protect you is Y-O-U. 

Here's what you need to do to maintain your VAL-YOU:

1. Establish and maintain boundaries
2. Evaluate a situation or a person against your established standards/morals/values
3. Communicate your needs and expectations clearly and unapologetically up front
4. Have the courage to disconnect when necessary

Be Mindful of What's on Your Mind

TODAY'S INSTRUCTIONS:

Be mindful of whats on your mind! Refocus and redirect your thoughts to that which is positively framed. Its true,  we deal with some heavy stuff but lets make sure that our thoughts reflect our faith in God rather than our fear of what we face. BE ENCOURAGED. SPEAK/THINK LIFE in everything that concerns you!

Philippians 4:8-9 (KJV)

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

GOOD MORNING, GOD BLESS.
