Flip the Switch: Your Mindset Makeover Starts Now!

Only in the last five or so years did I really learn to ‘live in the moment.’

I spent so much of my life trying to force things into place. I was under the impression that if I really wanted something and worked hard to get it, everything would work out.

BUT…

When things didn’t work out as I hoped - or something else got in my way- I would feel completely disappointed or derailed from my plan. It wasn’t until I began to change my mindset that my entire perspective around this idea changed.

Instead of trying to force things to happen, I worked towards a goal, hoping for my desired outcome. When something got in my way or prevented me from getting there, I viewed it as an 𝐎𝐏𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘 instead of an obstacle.

I learned that I couldn’t force things into place because they weren’t meant to be there sometimes. 𝐈𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫.

Opportunities are all around; they’re always knocking, but we’re not always prepared to open the door. Many times, we hear the knocking and just think it’s another annoying solicitation and continue on the path we 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓 to be on instead of the one we 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 be on.

If we’re not open to new ideas and alternate plans, we are setting ourselves up for failure. We may even achieve our original goal; we just might need to take a different path to get there.

It’s not always an obstacle; sometimes, life has a funny way of putting something even better right in front of you. It’s up to you to be in the right frame of mind to see it that way.

Take it from me: Don’t force it. Set goals. Make plans. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Be open to alternatives, and if things don’t go your way, be open-minded enough to change or to take a step back and reevaluate if this is really what you want.

Change your mindset, and everything else will change with it. You just have to be receptive enough to see it. ✌🏼
