We have that voice in our heads that we listen to that tells us that we can’t do something, that something is impossible, or that we do not have the skills to achieve something. This kind of thinking is simply not true, and it keeps us stuck. We all want things, but to get them, we have to believe in our ability to accomplish the steps it takes to get them. We have to change our thinking from “I can’t” to “of course I can.”
What is a Mindset?
Your mindset is the sum of your knowledge, including Beliefs and thoughts about the world and yourself in it. It is your filter for information you get in and put out. So it determines how you receive and react information.
It’s often used for a specific part in your life, as in “the mindset of an entrepreneur” or “the growth mindset”. And having the right mindset for what you go for is often the biggest factor.
Developing the right mindset is then the way learning something new and strip out the most relevant information. Then you develop the beliefs that are most helpful for where you want to go or how you want to be. This belief-system is then your mindset.
Which one did you have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset
A fixed mindset is when people believe their basic qualities, their intelligence, their talents, their abilities, are just fixed traits. They have a certain amount, and that's that. But other people have a growth mindset.
They believe that even basic talents and abilities can be developed over time through experience, mentorship, and so on. And these growth minded people are the people who go for it!
They're not always worried about how smart they are, how they'll look, or what a mistake will mean. They challenge themselves and grow. Below are various ways to develop the right mind to succeed.

INNER STRENGTH
You know how we always rely on other people to pick us up when we fall? To give us support to achieve our dreams? And when they don’t, for whatever reason, we feel helpless?
Well, the right mindset will put the end to this. It will give you the inner strength to move you forward.
DEVELOP A GROWTH MINDSET
Successful people believe in growth. They believe their skills will improve as they gain experience. They believe they will find road maps, strategies, and resources that will produce the results they want.
In this TED talk, Carol Dweck, author of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, concludes that the growth mindset leads to greater engagement with challenges, perseverance, confidence, and willingness to learn from mistakes.
If we are confident that we will overcome these challenges, we learn from them and keep trying until we find a successful course of action. The traits associated with a growth mindset are a recipe for success.
When we choose the growth mindset over the fixed mindset, where we are today becomes irrelevant. The only thing that matters is where we’re going.

EXAMINE YOUR CURRENT BELIEF
Examine your mindset by looking at your current belief-system. Are these beliefs supporting you? Or are there self limiting beliefs? You have to identify those possible blocks and turn them around. Because whether you know about limiting beliefs or not, they are working in your subconscious mind.
To uncover your beliefs ask yourself the right questions about where you want to go and what is standing in your way right now. The key then is to turn those beliefs around by declaring supportive statements on the same belief. To internalize these new supportive beliefs you can make use of affirmations.
MOTIVATION
With consistent use of the right mindset, you’ll wake up one day realizing that you are unstoppable. You will find out that you don’t lack motivation or inspiration to achieve what you want; no matter what the obstacles are on the way to it.
ONLY COMPETE WITH YOURSELF
Modeling the mindsets, strategies, and actions of those who have already accomplished what we’re pursuing is valuable. Through modeling, we avoid some of the mistakes others made on the road to success. We discover a proven blueprint that shortens the time it takes us to reach our goals.
While learning from others facilitates our growth, mentally competing with them produces detrimental consequences. When we measure ourselves against others, we look towards more successful people. This leads us to feel inadequate and doubt our ability.
When we shift our paradigms and compete only with ourselves, we zoom in on our path. We’re not concerned with what everyone else is doing anymore. We’re simply trying to improve from where we were yesterday.
We’re focused on improving our skills and equipping ourselves with the tools we need to achieve our goals. We measure success based on our personal benchmarks instead of how others define success.
SHAPE YOUR MINDSET WITH VISION AND GOALS
A proactive approach to build your mindset is to clearly see where you want to go. Seeing a vision, images describing your end result clearly in your minds eye, will create a strong pull towards this end result. Then go on and break your vision into goals. It will shape your mindset to become conform with your vision.
Learn and adapt from your own experience and always try to look deeper for the real reasons why you get the results you are getting.
FIND YOUR VOICE
One of the most beautiful things is when you find your very own way, something what you could call finding your voice.
To help you find this, answer these 4 question.
1. What are you good at? That’s your mind.
2. What do you love doing? That’s your heart.
3. What need can you serve? That’s the body.
4. And finally, what is life asking of you? What gives your life meaning and purpose? What do you feel like you should be doing? In short, what is your conscience directing you to do? That is your spirit.
Your voice is what you express 100% authentically, it is the unique thing that you can add to the world, because you are who you are. A great way to success and to develop the success mindset. Looking to find what is really you and being critical about every input you get should be part of your mindset. Stay open and flexible in your mind. Don’t judge too soon. It gives you something unique and helps you to build integrity.
PROTECT THE YOUR MINDSET
One thing you have to do is to protect your mindset against the naysayers and people who want to drag you down. You also have to protect it against bad information and against overload. Keeping your confidence is a big thing. So please stay on the right path, look to improve yourself and to help others along the way. You can’t go wrong with that.
BELIEVE YOU WILL SUCCEED
Our behavior is consistent with our beliefs. If you believe you’ll succeed, you take effective action that moves you closer to your goal.
You evaluate the available options in search of the most promising way forward. You persevere through setbacks because you’re certain you will surpass them and continue the journey towards success.
People react differently to similar situations based on their beliefs. When faced with adversity, one person understands it’s a normal part of the process while another person complains that “things never go right for me” and gives up. The first person cultivated a mental framework that leads to a productive response to the setback.
If you believe there’s an answer to a challenging problem, you send your brain on a mission to find that answer. You focus on the possibilities and solutions that will drive you forward. On the other hand, if you believe the problem is unsolvable, you direct your brain to find the best excuses available.
Beliefs guide our behavior. We can select beliefs that propel us towards our goals instead of beliefs that hold us back.
LEARN THE LESSON
One important difference is to learn to turn our failures into successes. Many people fail at something and decide that this is an end point. People who get what they want and achieve greatness simply look at a failure as a lesson and try to see what can be learned from it. Some of the individuals who have had the greatest successes of our time have also had some of the most epic failures. I encourage you to read the stories of people like Michael Jordan, Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, and Walt Disney. CLICK HERE I promise they will inspire you, and show you that we can get what we want, and achieve true success no matter what anyone else thinks or says, and no matter how many times we stumble. It is not the stumbling that matters, it is the getting back up.
