Change Your Mindset and You Will Change Your World

Along the lines of "Attitude Determines Your Altitude" and "You Are What You Think", if you can change your mindset you can change your world.

Mindsets refers to what you believe (your beliefs system) or your way of looking at things which will, in turn, determine your behaviour, outlook and mental attitudes.

For example, have you ever seen a negative person (full of negatives or minuses)? Of course not. BUT, you can hear and determine whether he is negative by the ways he talks. On the other hand, we have Positive Personalities who could bring sunshine on a rainy day by the way they speak or communicate. We speak what is in our heart -- that which has become our mindset.

Therefore, "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life." -- Proverbs 4:23 (NLT)

Here then are some quotes to refresh your mind and foster a new mindset for the making of a new you. You have it within you the power to change your world.

"People with a growth mindset believe that they can improve with effort. They outperform those with a fixed mindset, even when they have a lower IQ, because they embrace challenges, treating them as opportunities to learn something new." -- Travis Bradberry

"Common sense would suggest that having ability, like being smart, inspires confidence. It does, but only while the going is easy. The deciding factor in life is how you handle setbacks and challenges. People with a growth mindset welcome setbacks with open arms." -- Travis Bradberry

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” – Howard Thurman

"The human mind is naturally creative, constantly looking to make associations and connections between things and ideas.  It wants to explore, to discover new aspects of the world, and to invent.  To express this creative force is our greatest desire, and the stifling of it is the source of our misery.  What kills the creative force is not age or a lack of talent, but our own spirit, our own attitude.

We become too comfortable with the knowledge we have gained in our apprenticeships. We grow afraid of entertaining new ideas and the effort that this requires. To think more flexibly entails a risk—we could fail and be ridiculed. We prefer to live with familiar ideas and habits of thinking, but we pay a steep price for this: our minds go dead from the lack of challenge and novelty; we reach a limit in our field and lose control over our fate because we become replaceable.” -- Robert Greene

"To create something exceptional, your mindset must be relentlessly focused on the smallest detail." -- Giorgio Armani

"Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking." -- Marcus Aurelius
