You often imagine yourself on a beach with a cool breeze flowing around and you are just chilling with no worries about the future. You have a big house outside the city and the freedom of time, finance, location, and more. In short, you are living your dream life but suddenly you wake up from the daydream and say “Waaw!!!🤩. What a dream I just had. May this dream come true.” But deep inside, you are saying “No, it ain’t gonna happen😓😑. Let’s get back to work.”

Many people consider daydreaming a waste of time. But dreaming about your future is not bad. In fact, for many people, it is the most favorite part when it comes to deciding their future. But it is not as easy as it may sound. It is much more difficult to execute and make it work than to just daydream. But it surely doesn’t mean that you can’t do it. Everything is possible and you know it too.

It feels so right when you say it “Yeah! It’s possible”. Isn’t it? So say it with me…

‘IT IS POSSIBLE’

But before you start working to achieve your goals, you need to work on your mindset first. Because mindset is the key that can make or break your future.

You might be working so hard to make everything right. But sometimes, it doesn’t happen the way you wanted. And you just start to question yourself. You doubt yourself and say things like “Am I wasting my time on it?”, “Is this gonna work or not”, “I might stop doing it” and so on.

You get the idea.

This is what a fixed mindset is. It makes you doubt your self-efficacy and usually, it leads to a dead-end. It makes you feel low and most of the time, you stop making efforts to achieve your goals.

This is why you need to develop a strong mindset to achieve your goals. You can also say it is a growth mindset. A strong mindset helps you achieve your goals and change your life forever, in a fairly positive way. You might not even have any idea how this can make an impact on your life.

Let me make it more clear for you. Every single action you take or make is all because your brain controls you and gives you the commands to take actions. And when you set your brain in a way that it only soaks the positivity, then you can make wonders. When you think positively you do positively. You can make everything possible for you just by shifting your mindset. Literally anything and everything. And this is what a growth mindset is.

You have to train your brain so that you can make it work for you and get the results you want.

Now, how are you gonna train your brain for the results you want? Here’s how…

1. Decide

The very first step to developing a strong mindset is to ‘Decide’. Decide what you want to do or what you want to be in the future. It is as important as knowing the destination before the departure. Because without knowing the destination, you can’t take even a single step ahead. Right?

Decide the destination where you want to be in the next 5 or 10 years from now. Just close your eyes for a moment and try to find out what makes you feel happy. The goals may differ from person to person. Do you want to make more money, or do you want to learn guitar or piano or do you want to start working out? Just decide and make a commitment.

2. Live it in your dream

You always live your dreams twice, first in your mind and then in reality. When you start to live your dreams in your mind, you are gonna know how it will feel when they come true and this feeling will give you the power to keep going.

But it’s life, things happen and you forget or sometimes the situations are not right to make things work. But it doesn’t mean you should stop. You should not stop chasing your dreams for any reason.

Solve this by remaking it in your mind to keep them alive in your subconscious. Make a visual in your head that you’ve achieved your goals. Recall it again and again so that it always remains active in your mind and pushes you to take action.

3. Believe in yourself

You can’t achieve it if you can’t believe it. In the way of making your future, you are gonna have many speed breakers coming in your way to stop you.

You are gonna feel frustrated when things are not going well.

You are gonna make mistakes and fail several times.

You are gonna feel like quitting. Believe me, these things are gonna happen.

But when you believe in yourself these breakers just can’t stop you. You gotta say it to yourself that ‘hey, I’m gonna make it happen. These silly things can’t stop me from doing what I want to do.’ Believing in yourself helps you to get up and give it another try whenever you fail.

4. Be positive always

According to studies, an average person has around 6,200 thoughts in a single day which is a blend of both positive and negative thoughts. And you know, negative thoughts are the ones who are gonna ruin everything.

And if you think about how to not let them come into your mind. Well, It’s not gonna be like that, negatives always come in your way but you have to learn how to turn them into positive ones. Don’t let them affect you in any way. Instead, figure out a way to turn them positive. You have to train your brain so that you can make the most of it. Otherwise, it will be just a stupid organ in your skull that does nothing but control your body.

5. Practice quality people only

It’s a saying that when you hang out with 3 idiots, you are gonna be the 4th one, and when you hang out with 3 geniuses, you are gonna be the 4th one. And it’s damn true. The quality of people you hang out with decides what your persona is gonna be. How the people around you talk, behave, or act will all gonna make a huge impact on you.

Now it’s up to you, what do you want to be? An idiot or a genius?

Spend time with the people who are gonna add value to your life. The people whom you feel the positivity being around. Their aura, their personality, their vibes everything inspires you to do more. Unlike negative people who are like parasites. They are gonna suck all the positive energy from your soul. So keep a safe distance from them and surround yourself with the good ones.

Our mind is like a juicer machine, in which if you put a fresh orange it gonna give you the fresh orange juice and if you put a rotten one it gonna give you the crap. So decide wisely what you are gonna put inside your brain and receive the best out of it.
