A lot of people today have a fixed mindset, which is why they just dont believe they can grow, they believe their nature or their personalities, or their certain level of talent was God given and they cannot burst through that.
They are who they are and things will always be the way they are and their lives cant really get much better at things because of a fixed mindset.
Believe in your ability to figure things out, you can figure things out and you can get better. Look at the stage you are presently in your life and say to yourself that "You can figure it out" it allows you to get up each day and plan your life goals and curriculum and work in that path towards achieving them.
If you dont believe you can figure it out, you dont have that expectancy, the journey dosent ultimately start until you figure out that the task ahead of you can be completed, and you are going to be capable: that is when you begin.
Question your assumptions
Dont let your current skills, knowledge and ability narrow down on your vision for your future because what you are capable of doing today has a little to do with what you are capable of or possibly able to achieve in the future.
Today is not a good prediction for tommorow or next year or ten years from now because think of how different you are probably today than you are ten years ago but what you start doing now can have a greater effect on it. Things have been changing and that is the truth, you can see how far you have grown, How many things you've learnt, how much different of a person you've grown to become, how much solid and sure you might be and if that is not it for you imagine a time in your life when you were stronger.
We all can change, we all can develop, we all can grow but we also need to question the assumptions that limits us.
Those ideas that comes in our minds like: oh well I'm not capable of doing that, it happens to me a lot almost all the time and I have sometimes let my self think there is no way out, you have to question those ideas that say: Well I'm possibly an Introvert I can never share my dreams.
You have to question those ideas that say: Well I cant be an entrepreneur, or I can never get promoted, whatever it is that comes to you it's all negative, question it because that is what is preventing you from planning your life's curriculum or that future you desire for yourself.
Developing your own Life's Curriculum
What are those things that I should have to help me create a concept for myself?: That means you should have a set of books and tapes or CD's or digital programs, going to seminars or whatever it may be called to guide you in your decisions.
Dont wait for your college to give you the curriculum of life, dont wait for somebody to hand you the report to read, sit down today and think:
What am I really passionate about? What's my dream? You can architect a curriculum to make that dream possible. Most of the things I know today i didnt use to know them, I was scared even in my high school days, I didnt know how to speak in public places or in big halls, I never knew how to produce any good content, no concept at all for me. A brief story about me was in high school:
In high school days I had this fear in me everytime when it comes to mixing socially with others, although I had the brains, when it comes to exams I was really good. I was an introvert, a shy and reticent person. I was running as the head prefert back then, I had everything I needed but lacked the confidence to speak in small and huge gatherings. During the final days in school I had to give my graduation speech and I was the one given the responsibility of doing that. I had a lot of challenges, I was scared of having to say the bad words and get laughed at, I felt I would regret giving that speech. I didnt know how to do that and I thought to myself why dont I develop my own Curriculum?
I said to myself well I have to learn all that, I have to learn to publicly speak. I began reading some books, watched some videos went to seminars, I wanted to be better at that because it only happens ones in a lifetime, I studied every movement, learnt new skills, and practised more. My mindset became more open because I had realized that I could learn how to be better, I realized that I could do it. Few weeks passed and I became more free with my self, I started interacting in small gatherings, finally moved closer to people, had friends also. Later on I became so good at it.
When you start designing your own curriculum on the things you want to learn, how far you want to go, and how you want your life to be structured you become stronger, as you get stronger you are more open to new ideas because you realize that the world is always changing and you ought to change too and you are capable of handling any change.
As you seek to grow and plan your life's Curriculum you will have lots of discouragements, a lot of times where things suck, when it isn't going the way it should, during those times Honor that struggle, honor the process. When its challenging dont quit as long you follow your planned life's curriculum there is nothing that comes your way that you wont breakthrough.
"A scenario where a man is to start up an establishment for himself, always having the dream to be a well built entrepreneur but he had doubts in himself, the time came when he had the resources, he went on to start without proper planning based on: the locality, based on safety, on consumers needs around the area of establishment, and was also not able to identify the strength and weaknesses of the business along with poor allocation of resources, his business couldnt stand on the long run. He didn't take into account his life' curriculum for that business, how well that establishment would stand in let's say years from now or even weeks. "
When you get knocked down maintain Resilience, that is part of the process. Do not be upset at all, there will be newer challenges coming by from there you develop a calm spirit to withstand it all.
From the biblical view the Lord said Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isiah 41:10.
Involve God in the process because only he can make it perfect.
Happy Sunday to everyone, have a great day and a lovely week ahead
