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!

BACK TO SCHOOL JEWELS

It's that time of year again where students from Pre-K to PhD gear up for a new season of learning. As a child, I remember the excitement of the preparation for a new school year. One of the best things about it was that you got lots of new stuff. Everything was brand new, fresh, neat, and organized from the clothes to the school supplies. Everyone looked forward to the first day outfit, sporting a new backpack, and new shoes. It never got old!

As I reflected on these fond memories it dawned on me that what excited me as a youth has value as a life application today.  Here are 4 Back to School jewels we can apply to our everyday lives to increase our val-you:

1. Develop a fresh perspective. Apply a new outlook as you work toward improving your current situation.
2. Discard old mindsets that didn't serve you well in the past. Make room for the growth you are expecting.
3. Organize your thoughts and ideas into manageable tasks. Don't be intimidated by the size of task. You can eat the elephant one bite at a time. Bon a petit!
4. Pack your bag in advance. What good is having supplies if you can't access them when you need them? Your mental backpack should contain a positive attitude, affirmations, a list of your goals, and what defines what success means for you.

We are getting ready to head into the 4th quarter of 2016. It's a great time to finish strong and get a headstart on next year's success strategies!

The Journey Begins....

There is a road assigned to all of us. A path, if you will, that leads us to our destiny. This path, has peaks and valleys, rest stops and road blocks, and if we do it right, all of these add up to a life well lived. Is it perfect? Of course not! But, it can be fulfilling, inspiring, impactful, and meaningful along the way. It's true what they say: "There's no traffic along the extra mile." Unfortunately for us though, this is where most of our most important work is done. In those quiet, sometimes lonely places where its just you, no one else. This is one of the reasons why many don't choose the extra mile because we'd rather be with a crowd then out ahead of it. We'd rather blend in than break through. But there comes a time in everyone's life when we have to move past mediocre in order to get to meaningful. We have to to be willing not only to "look" at the "man in the mirror" but to all "deal with" the man in the mirror. We leave a lot of stuff unsaid to ourselves! One of my primary goals as a life coach is to challenge and support people in having meaningful dialog with themselves that results in the refocusing of effort, energy, and enthusiasm on the tasks, priorities, and purpose that will move them forward on the things that matter to them. You do have "the power." It's inside of you. It's waiting to be tapped into.

As we begin a dialog on the extra mile the first thing we have to do is find it! We have to make sure that the path is the one assigned to US and not someone else's. Many times we find ourselves living vicariously through others, procrastinating, or making sacrifices to help others realize their goals while our own desires are aborted, neglected and unfilled. We guilt ourselves into being helpful or making sacrifices for others while neglecting our own self care. Running on "E" doesn't help us maximize our own potential or fully support others. From this moment forward I want you to re-establish your relationship with yourSELF. Allow this courtship to begin in a patient and loving way. Don't just focus on what makes you flawless spend some time on your faults as well. We are only as strong as our weakest link and many of us have been faking strong for far too long. Lets get into some spiritual and emotional chemotherapy and do the work that results in:

• Finding Peace
• Holding Ourselves Accountable
• Reaching our Goals
• Sustaining our Progress
• Exceeding our own Expectations
