A Vision Mindset Promotes Action

I had the opportunity this past week to really take stock as to where I was taking my life and the direction I was heading.

although I had a vision as to where I wanted to end up I found that some of the details were a bit cloudy and vague.

On top of that I didn’t really have a plan of action to follow to get me to that place that I want but can’t really describe.

That’s when it hit me…. I’m not achieving the top level of results I want because my subconscious mind has no real understanding of where to take my thoughts and ideas.

My vision isn’t clear enough and I have no real plan of action (certainly not one that I’ve been sticking to). subsequently I’ve been becoming increasingly frustrated with myy results.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve accomplished some fantastic results in my life but they have been sluggish at times and I know I could achieve them faster and much more effectively. Have you ever felt that way?

It seems at times that I’m rolling forward but with no real target to shoot for or the exact opposite in that I have to many targets in front of me at once. does that make sense to you?

To make a point, I believe you need to really focus on what your vision is, I mean really get a clear picture of what is is you want and why you want it. I started by thinking about all the things that made me feel joyful and passionate. These are the things that you can build your vision around (after all, isn’t the whole point of life about finding your bliss).

Anyway, I found that when my vision was clear it was much easier to formulate an action plan around that vision (duh!) and subsequently my action plan was much easier to implement because I see it with the end result in mind.

Think of it like this: Clear vision = clear results and if you fail to plan you are planning to fail.

Vitally important last and final point: I have written numerous articles and documents on these topics and many others, and I am far from perfecting any of them, but it is my awareness of them that allows me to catch myself slipping so I am able to prevent myself from falling.

Mindset Thermostat

Have you ever been clipping along in life believing you were headed in the right direction stick your head up one day realizing that you really haven’t come as far as you thought and certainly not as far as you would have liked to?

I had that epiphany yesterday, my goals that were set a year ago came and went and many of them were attained but most of those goals were all of my smaller goals and ambitions.

Don’t get me wrong I’m grateful for every goal I’ve achieved and in complete appreciation for where I’m at but the problem is I’m thinking way to small.

Why is it that my smaller goals took precedence over my larger ones? Could it be because they’re perceived as easier to attain, and if that’s the case then it is absolutely accurate that I’m thinking way to small.

We should be focusing on our larger goals and letting the smaller ones take care of themselves, of course having to focus on a huge daunting goal in front of can be intimidating so then we must focus on the milestones along the way towards this goal.

Big things are done every day and I am committing myself here and now to thinking bigger and becoming bigger in achieving the grand goals I have. I think all of us settle into default mode from time to time and sink back to old habits and routines because they are a place of comfort and security. Nobody likes to stick their neck out in fear of it getting lopped off.

In any case it comes down to who we’re being in the moment that allows us to step up into the place we want to be, and it requires consistent diligence on our part (and on the part of our true friends) to hold ourselves to a higher standard. To be the person we want to be in every moment so we can become the person we know we can.

We all have this thermostat for ourselves around where our mindset level is at. This in-turn affects our finances, relationships and work habits. Generally, when we attempt to rise above this default level it is  a matter of days or months that we settle right back down to our preset level.

This level, or thermostat setting was adopted through our earlier learning and experiences such as school, media, government, church and our parents. We were moulded into a certain way of thinking and developed habits around that thinking.

Those habits became a large part of our routine and our thermometers were set. Now it is possible to change our setting but here’s the deal….. it takes consistent effort.

I caught myself slipping back to my old setting and I caught myself and readjusted. You can do the same if that’s what you choose to do.

It all comes down to what do you really want for you?

Success or Default?

Is the glass half empty or half full is the age old question to having an optimistic outlook as oppose to a pessimistic outlook.

The only real question to ask yourself is who am I being right now….. in this moment, after all that’s all that really matters anyway.

Nobody cares how good you were yesterday, they only care about how good you are right now. Yesterday may have been a stellar day but this is today and how are you showing up right now, in this moment.

You see, it’s not good enough to be in right place at the right time, although many people believe this to be true, you have to be the right person, in the right place at the right time.

If you’re going to step up to a higher level to day you better be willing to step up tomorrow and the day after and so on and not settle back down to you previous default position.

Adopting a success mindset is no different than adopting a healthy mindset where yo-yo dieting runs rampant and exercise schedules collapse.

Why?

Because we fall back into our default mode of habit, it’s comfortable and were not motivated enough to get uncomfortable even though we know it will do us a whole lot of good.

You need to break the default cycle before you will ever hope to jump to the next level of success in your life.

Who you were yesterday is no longer acceptable, you need to exceed the person you were yesterday, you need to grow forward and reach towards success. Success will never come down to the level you are at.

Maintain your new level of awareness and step into the role of who you need to be to get the results you desire. Don’t worry about what others think about you decisions, what others think about you is none of your business anyway.

Your going to need to get some tough skin to realize you goals. Think of yourself as a success rhino and charge towards your dreams.

Trust me on this, you deserve everything you desire!
