As in, you just wake up one morning, and boom, you’re successful. You know just like magic(lol). Sounds good, right? I’ve imagined it couple of times(laughs).

1. RESET YOUR MINDSET AND GROW YOUR MENTALITY.
In all honesty, this particular content was inspired by this nugget of wisdom.
I figured recently that most individuals have their mindset and mentality fixed as regards the level of their capacities and capabilities.
A fixed mindset and mentality are just as injurious to the build up of success as weed is to a farmer. They restrain the success scope of an individual.
Brilliant minds in recent times, have referred the mindset to be the new psychology of success. Your mindset is core to your success story. Your mindset has the power to directly influence your abilities- which in turn, influences your endeavour to succeed positively or negatively.
Have you ever seen certain individuals accomplish feats you can’t seem to comprehend, and you wondered how they’ve managed to execute such feats?
Well, individuals with a growing mindset and mentality have better tendency of fulfilling their full potentials than individuals with a fixed mindset and mentality.
I strongly recommend that you consult the lifechanging book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck for better understanding of the relevance of your mindset and mentality towards achieving success.
Carol gave wonderful insights into the growth of the mindset as well as, the mentality.
As a bottom-line, it’s imperative to prepare your mentality for your reality, so when the reality comes, it meets you mentally prepared.
2. FILTER THE COMPANIES AROUND YOU- DISCARD THE TARES- KEEP THE WHEATS.
It’s imperative to filter the companies you keep, so you can identify and isolate the bad ones from the good ones.
I figured lately that most of the acquaintances individuals keep in recent times are detrimental to the health of their minds and as well, to their mental health and might be injurious towards their build up to success.
Bad company, they say corrupts good manners. The behavior of the company you keep directly or indirectly influences yours, which in turn affects your mindset and mentality, and as the end result, can influence your build up to success positively or negatively.
It’s advisable you isolate yourself from the tares around you and associate with the wheats.
Detach yourself from the company of people with a fixed-mindset. Embrace the company of people with a growth- mindset, so you can grow together as like minds.
It’s better to be the most stupid amidst brilliant minds than to be the smartest amongst simpletons.
Growth is an everyday phenomenon, and it’s easier in the company of mentally rich people because you nudge each other in your build up to success.
Bottom-line, even while in company of brilliant minds, never forget to ride your own waves and never underrate your ability.
3. REMEMBER! THE MENTOR- FACTOR WORKS WONDERS.
As a growing individual, never cast aside the mentor- factor. A mentor is essential in your build up to success. Your mentor ensures your self-consciousness.
No man rises alone. You need a mentor to guide your path and lighten your way on your road to success. Your mentor has been there before you, he knows better than you.
Remember! Your mentor can’t be just a random individual. He must be an individual you look up to and has a fine personality.
