Self-Talk doesn’t affect our mind in the moment. It burrows deep into our psyche. After setting up shop, it wreaks havoc on our lives. Negativity ruins every facet of our behavior.
In the real world, our conversations with people and ourselves determine our lives. It also determines our feelings from moment to moment. Do not assume anything. You know what happens when you assume. Do not let the brain dictate a negative reality.
When you feel life has wronged you, you will behave within that paradigm. You will see hardship when there isn’t any. The work you want to be doing in life will stop. Instead, you will ask the question, Why should I even try? Your entire journey will be dealing with fake traumas. Reality will be skewed into oblivion.
What happens if we take the other route? If we base our existence on the positive? When we view opportunities as power, we thrive. Hard work becomes second nature. We work harder than anyone we know without even realizing it. The process is our main focus because it is all we have. Success becomes something that feels attainable. Trusting the process is the most important part of progress. Mind you, this is only a minor part in the mindset of a successful person. In my eyes, anything that makes the journey more enjoyable is a win.
I have laid out two mindsets for you here. If you are in boat number one, don’t fret and continue reading!
Problems are born in the mind. Yes, there are things that are out of our control. There are times that are tragic. I am talking about the typical hardships one goes through. We can choose how we react in every situation. They can be an annoyance or an opportunity. You can learn from your problems or resent them. Once again, reality is in your control.
If you stop reacting to nonsense, you master the dialect of the mind.
Are you going to accept the fate that you have created? The one filled with negative assumptions? Or are you going to change the dialect of your mind to one that builds a successful future? Can you change the voice in your head to stop playing make believe and start playing the long game?
When you seek validation from outside sources, happiness is never more than a dream. The world will be void of all the things we want: success, happiness, and self-esteem. Instead, you will live on a roller coaster of content when others are and dread when they are not. Life will deal you many hands. Will we use those hands as a crutch or a stepping stone to be free? Validation from others is a trap that will leave us spinning our wheels. One day we will look back as if frozen in time. Yes, were older but that is the only progression. What if all this time, the thing that would give us the most fulfillment was actually inside of us? You can think what I am saying is mumbo jumbo but I’ll ask this as well: What is the alternative?
This series is going to need you to stop seeking external validation. It will ask you to get it from within. Good thing you already have all the answers somewhere in there. No more waiting around and hoping one day we will find peace of mind. That already exists in you, it is time to bring it out.
