Control Your Destiny with a Growth Mindset

It is important to understand that you are conditioned to think and operate within a to-do-list mindset. Unfortunately, a fixed mindset can give you a false sense of accomplishment and significance. A person's mindset provides the attitude needed for achievement and ultimately determines his or her success. For the long haul, results-oriented thinking is the driving force for reaching your goals but assigning purpose and meaning to your achievements is far more important than merely hitting your target. Self-help guru Wayne Dyer said, "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

Ask yourself what you want the end result to be. To achieve this, it requires cultivating a growth mindset using strategies listed below:

• Identify Your Self Voice - Look inside your own thinking and follow these tips to start achieving your goals.
• Don't Procrastinate -Accept the fact that only a tiny fraction of the information out there is capable of helping you move forward.
• Believe in Change - Recent advances in neuroscience have shown people can accelerate neural growth in their brain by the actions that they choose to take.
• Make it Happen - The past will only distract your thinking and make it impossible to bring out the happiness that is already waiting inside you.
• Time to Change - Those who are more successful at making changes are not luckier or smarter, they are simply more likely to take action.
• Set Your Own Pace- Set each day's goals as the minimum that you plan accomplish. Then, allow yourself to feel great by overachieving in smaller steps.
• Invest in a Winning Mindset - Prepare for setbacks but never give in to failure. Seek feedback, make adjustments and get back on track as quickly as possible.

People mistakenly focus on all the external stuff related to the change they chosen to make in their life. Truth is, they need to make a commitment to changing how they see everything in their life. Moving from a fixed mindset to one that supports growth allows you to shift your focus from why to what. Accept the fact that others, including your friends and family, don't care if you fail spectacularly. So, stop basing your life's decision on what they think. A growth mindset allows you to see that change not only happens from inside out, but also from the outside in.
