We often perceive winners as monumental figures – the CEOs, gold medallists, Grammy or MOBO winners. Yet, they’re just like us, composed of hydrogen and carbon, sharing similar fears, dreams, and obstacles. The true differentiation? Their mindset.
In “PowerLift, Your Career,” Step Two delves into this pivotal aspect, navigating the intricate paths of our belief systems. Mindset isn’t merely a topic; it’s an expansive landscape where our thoughts, entwined with our feelings, determine how we present ourselves to the world. These thoughts, potent and impactful, significantly influence our day-to-day existence.
When discussing mindset, I often highlight a fundamental truth: our thoughts are mightily powerful. This isn’t merely about positive thinking but comprehending and internalising the enormity of our cognitive processes. The way we think, subsequently processed and connected to our emotions, directly shapes how we navigate our worlds.
The essence of the second step, titled “How to Be a Winner,” might resonate with competitive undertones, yet it’s more introspective than it appears. The only competition exists with ourselves – aligning our actions with our values and goals. It isn’t about emerging victorious over others; it’s about surpassing our previous selves, being better today than we were yesterday, and consistently aligning our actions with our deeply held values and aspirations.
Navigating through our belief systems, we dissect those that serve us and those that thwart our progress. This introspection allows us to comprehend our thoughts, feelings, and habitual patterns that often become so ingrained, they’re challenging to dismantle.
If you’ve ever questioned why we think the way we do, feel the emotions we feel, or perhaps why a recurring thought habitually transforms into a steadfast pattern, Step Two is your guide through these ponderings. It’s an invitation to explore not just the superficial layers of our mindset, but also to dive deeper, unearthing and understanding the subterranean levels of our belief systems.
Dr. Nathaniel Brandon, reflecting on self-esteem, phrased it as your “reputation with yourself” - an astute observation of how our thoughts shape our internal narratives and, ultimately, our actions. When we develop the ability to accept and forgive ourselves, we unlock doors to our inherent greatness, paving the path toward becoming genuine winners in our unique ways.
In this journey through Step Two, we’ll explore these concepts together, evaluating, learning, and perhaps, reshaping our thoughts and beliefs towards constructing a mindset that empowers us to keep moving forward.
