Absolutely
no one can underestimate the power of the mind and its
role in our success! It is imperative to keep our minds
right and on the right track if we are to achieve balanced
success in our career, finances, health, emotions, relationships
and spiritual lives.
The
analogy I would like to use here is one of a radio station.
For example, there may be a "Success" station. But the
only way you can hear a radio station is to be tuned
into it. Even a little off and you can't get the full
effect.
The
same is true with our mind and success. If our minds
and our thoughts get sidetracked, our success will get
sidetracked. As our minds stay tuned to "success" our
bodies will then carry out our success and we will begin
to experience abundance!
So
here are some ways to keep tuned into success!
Use
your innate ability to decide and choose. One of the
things that separates us from the animals is that we
live not by instinct, but by choice. Constantly flexing
that muscle of choice builds it up and keeps us on track
for success. It is like working out. They more we do,
the stronger we get. The more "fit" we get. Want to
keep your mind tuned for success? Keep it healthy by
making good choices and decisions on a regular basis.
For example, do you have a bad habit? Then flex your
mind muscle and choose to change - today. If you choose
to stay the same way (and those are the only two alternatives)
you will have just chosen to tune your mind to a different
station than "success."
Put
good stuff into your brain. There are lots of things
that want to work their way into our minds (and eventually
work themselves out again in our actions). There will
be lots that we just get from walking around all day.
But what about what we put in on purpose? We can choose
to put good stuff in on a regular basis. Do you take
time each day to put good things into your mind, to
tune into success? Here are two things to consider when
you are choosing what to put into your mind: First,
is it positive? Will it build you up or tear you down?
Will it make you a better person, or lesser? Will you
grow from it or not? Will it tune you to success or
not? Secondly, Will it move you toward your goals in
the areas of your life that you want to see success
and abundance in?
Keep
the junk out. Like I mentioned above, there will always
be junk floating around, like a fellow employee who
gripes all the time. But what surprises me is how many
people who want success, actually willfully choose to
put junk into their minds and then expect to be tuned
into success. Here are some thoughts on this: First,
evaluate everything that you put into your mind. Evaluate
what you read, listen to and watch. We live in a fast-paced
world and we have little time. Why then would we spend
our precious time putting junk into our minds? Does
what you read, listen to and watch move you toward your
goals or away from them? It is a simple question, really.
At least most of the time. And here is my soapbox. Eleven
years ago, my wife suggested we give away our television.
I was shocked to say the least, but decided to give
it a try. Now I am the anti-tv fanatic in our house!
I have more time than anyone I know and I don't have
to spend a lot of energy filtering my mind to tune it
to success. Just a thought. Just a thought.
Eat
right and exercise. That's right. The way we eat and
the amount of exercise we get goes a long way toward
our mind's ability to tune into success. Put the right
foods into your body and the brain responds. Exercise
on a regular basis and the body releases chemicals that
literally ignite your brain for success!
Hope
these thoughts help you to get going and keep your mind
tuned into success. Put them into practice and soon
you'll be dialed into success and abundance.
