Change Your Mind To Change Your Future

QUOTE OF THE DAY

CHANGE YOUR MIND TO CHANGE YOUR FUTURE

"If you’re looking at life as a possibility, you will see possibilities everywhere; if you’re looking at life as a problem, you will see problems everywhere."

This quote from Sadhguru sums up this edition perfectly: Whenever people want to make a change, they tend to instantly look for problems and look for reasons as to why whatever they have set out to achieve is impossible. Very rarely do we make a change and instantly look for the positives because it's within our human nature to risk assess any situation, which basically means pointing out the possible negatives. Which makes it take a conscious effort to bypass your auto-feeling of "I don’t like this."

If you're a pessimistic person, this will prove hard for you because you're always looking at the negative side of every situation, and therefore you will find it and prove your own theory. It's similar to the saying, 'If all you're looking for is yellow cars, best believe you will see yellow cars everywhere'.

It's beautifully simple: change what you think the result is going to be, and you will change your reality.

We often wait for the perfect situation, yet you have to realise there really is no perfect situation where your life will magically start changing; you have to create that perfect moment. You can create the timeline and make that change now so that you can look back on it in 5 years' time and say, 'I remember the first day I started that, otherwise that day will never come.

You best believe it: your mind is the most powerful thing you have, and YOU control it. There's a reason why mindset has been so prevalent in history: ancient Japanese culture, wars, great leaders, and scientists all talk about mindset and how impactful it is, so it's not something to ignore.

Assume everything is positive, and it will be in reality.

A lot of people severely underestimate the power they have with their own minds. You think it's extremely insignificant and will only impact you; however, you couldn't be further from the truth.

ACTIONABLE NEXT STEPS:

Try it yourself, the next time you find yourself in a bad situation focus heavily on the positive outcomes no matter how insignificant they may be. Focus on them so much even to a comical point where it seems ridiculous and you'll be surprised how suppressed the reality of the bad situation becomes.

TAKEAWAYS:

Change what you think the result is going to be and you’ll change what the result is going to be - that's it.
