The Importance of Mindset to Your Success
The question is - What is mindset? “The established set of attitudes held by someone.” The state of one’s mind is the most influential factor to one's success. Mindset is important in your personal as well as your professional life.
More importantly, it is said that what you think about, you bring about. So if your thinking is consistently about failure, failure will be your physical reality. However, when you think about success, it becomes your physical reality. Your mindset is vital to your success or failure; therefore, it is of paramount importance that you master your mindset.
The following can help you to master your mindset:
Self-Confidence: If you do not possess self-confidence, you will not be about to achieve success. You have to first know that you have the ability to achieve the object of your definite purpose in life - be it success or something else. You have to have that unwavering faith in yourself that you can and will achieve success in your life.
Have a Positive Perspective: if you want to succeed in life, you have to have a winning perspective. You have to see the glass as half full. Your mindset has everything to do with perspective. It is the way you look at yourself, your life, your attitude toward life in general - whether you are positive or negative in your perspective. With a positive mindset, you are more likely to achieve lasting success in your life.
Will Power: Without will power to push you to achieve your life’s objective, it would be extremely difficult to accomplish any of the goals that you have set for yourself. You have to have that ability to motivate yourself so that you take persistent action towards your goal achievement. Your mindset is essential in creating your will power which is needed to help your to keep your eyes on the prize and push yourself past your comfort zone so that you strive to accomplish more and in so doing you will apply continuous effort until you achieve success.
How You Deal with Adversity: The road that leads to success is never a straight nor a smooth one. You will encounter difficulties along the journey to success. How you cope with these adversities will determine your success or failure. You will stumble and fall many times along the way but you have to pick yourself up and continue along your journey. Adversity will test and push you to your breaking point but you have to show your strength and resilience by picking yourself up every time you fall instead of succumbing to defeat.
Goal Achievement: Indeed, your mindset determines whether you achieve your goals or not. You have to have a proper mindset rooted in a burning desire for success. A mindset that allows you to dig deep inside yourself and bring out the legend inside yourself that will enable you to work through all your pain and hardships and refuse to be defeated but instead be determined to never give up until you accomplish the goal that you have set for yourself.
Do all within your power to master your mindset so that you can achieve success in your life! “Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it.” Steve Maraboli

A very helpful post indeed Nichola. Out of all the qualities you listed above I feel that the one most important is will power. We can have the best intentions in the world but lacking the willpower to follow through doesn't help us at all.
I don't think that you are lacking in willpower at all.
All the best to you.

I am really disappointed I broke my leg and became homeless a couple of months ago no one will hire me because I have 2 dogs and no place to leave them while I work so I started this course and did the first 10 lessons this morning I had to go panhandle for the 20 dollars to upgrade to premium and get a prepaid debit card to pay the memberships only to find out it has to be a credit card another road block I am starting to except that I am not going to make it off the street
Hi James,
I hope that after you have read this post that you are able to change your mindset.
I am sorry about your present situation. However, do not look at your setback as a road block but rather figure out how you can use it as a stepping stone to get you to where you want to go.
Don't give up hope! Remember where there is a will there is always a way. I hope things work out for you! Wishing you the very best!

Excellent post, Nichola. I agree, mindset is essential for success and I believe it is formed by many factors. We have to constantly work on it and not let us affect by others. Majority of people has no goals, no purpose, only complains. If we let them affect us, we can't succeed.
There are so many sources nowadays for everyone to work on their mindset, we are blessed to live in this time.
Have a nice day and stay safe!
