How to Develop a “Master mind” Part 1: Know yourself and correct your weaknesses

All steps to success have to first stem from self-reflection. If our own body and our brains, which serve as our tools to progress and achievement in life, are rusty and incapable, then even though we have the heart to work hard and catch our dreams, we are unable to do it. Our physical bodies and our mentalities have to be developed appropriately in order to do what we must do. Before our body, we have to develop our brains into “master mind,” in order to think clearly and accurately about what steps to take and which path to travel on.

Then what is it that we have to fix first? It’s vague just to say “fix yourself,” isn’t it? Where do we start? I’ve written a little about mentality in other posts, today we’ll talk about changing our personalities.

Change Your Personality In Order to Develop a Master Mind

Napoleon Hill wrote in his book Law of Success that “even the most successful men and women on earth have to correct certain weak spots in personality before they began to succeed.” Why? Because one’s success is built on the foundation of one’s personality.

If you have an amiable, open, easy going and positive personality, then the chances of you attaining your goals are higher than someone with a disheartened, negative, easily jealous, greedy temperament. Why? Because the person with the light and open minded personality is likely to look positively at obstacles and view failures as golden experiences for their next endeavor. Plus, they are good at working with people in either business or social environments (more on this in Part 2!), thus increasing their chances of promotion and jumping on and obtaining invaluable opportunities in life. Contrarily, the person with a conceited, negative or arrogant attitude either put themselves down or cannot work well with others or put themselves down, which results in their inability to step out from their own self-centered, narcissistic universe. They are unable to communicate with the people who may be the crucial link or door to their success. They are also likely to stop in their path of achieving their goals due to these weaknesses in their personality. What are the most common personality weaknesses that we should find and fix?

Hill made a list of the most outstanding weaknesses that comes between men and women and their success, which I quite agree with.

The End of the Rainbow…What are YOU living for?

What Are You Living For Part 1: The Problem & Diagnosis

 

Have we lost our pot of gold? Have we lost what we are living for?

Have we lost our pot of gold? Have we lost what we are living for?

What Are You Living For – The Pot of Gold

We’ve heard it before in our youth, the tale of there being a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. We searched for it eagerly when we were kids, and then as we grew older and realized more about the world, we scoffed at our naïve belief in such a tale. But I’m thinking… is it really just a tale?

Literally, perhaps a pot of gold may never be found at the end of any rainbow (I say perhaps, because… who knows?), but metaphorically, what is the pot of gold at the end of our rainbow? What is the treasure that we are searching for in our similar seven banded path of life? Leprechauns search and search, following and chasing after this rainbow and that to find their gold… what are we spending our time chasing after?

What Are You Living For – The Self-Diagnosis

I’ve been thinking about this a lot these days, because… there are days when I get up in the morning and don’t know for what it is that I’m working for. Why am I stressing out so much about work and money? Why am I putting myself out of my comfort zone as I wade around in society? Why am I pushing myself to my limit every single day? It was time for me to revaluate my life. My vision of my own pot of gold had blurred so that I no longer had a purpose. I needed time to revision that image again.

For me, my pot of gold that I was always searching for was just plain happiness. The two reasons I drag myself through life is for my family and also for my faith. I want to be able to provide a comfortable environment for my family and also don’t have to worry about money problems so I can focus on doing work for God. But all these aspirations and the level of my positivism and assertiveness are dependent on the level of my spiritual life.  If my faith is despicably low, then no matter how much “achievement” I seem to be getting in the world, happiness eludes me. Therefore, my vision had faded, my happiness had faded as I strove toward a seemingly unattainable goal, because my daily faith was suffering.

Once I realized my problem, then it was so much easier to get back on track. To start by resolving the root of my problem, then all consequent negative symptoms and “outbreakings” would disappear. I am thankful that I at least was able to diagnose and treat my situation. But I know, that there are many MANY people out there who are not as lucky as me, who are STILL trying to answer the question, “What am I living for?”

This is a question that I cannot answer, nor will I even attempt it, because every single case is different. I cannot forcefully place my methodology on anyone, for it would not fit their situation. But what I can do is offer words of advice, so that hopefully, perhaps by accident, my words may catalyze a solution to somebody’s predicament. And through that, a problem may be able to go on the path of amendment.

In my next post, I invite you to explore with me, how to find that missing link – our happiness – back in our lives. Please read on and continue this journey with me, to freedom, to everlasting happiness.

Change Your Mentality, Transform Your Life

In life, there’s a lot of ups and downs, lots of tribulation and hardship that causes one to fall. But the thing is, some people overcome it… but some people never get back up. Why is that?

What makes one group of people different form the other? How come some people have the “touch of Midas,” turning everything they touch into gold, while other people are “crap magnets,” attracting only crap and failure with every endeavor they undertake.

It’s not because of differences in levels of education.

It’s not because of differences in whom they know or what they’ve done.

It’s because of the differences in their mentality.

What kind of thoughts fill your brain ultimately dictate what kind of actions you’ll take and ultimately determines what your life will be life.
