You are a product of what has been your dominant thoughts. A lot of people have quit or have been scared of taking a step because they have told themselves that they won't be able to go far. Most people look at the success of others and base their life on how fast others have gone and how good others are thereby limiting their progress. What you think about yourself and what you say about yourself truly matters. You are responsible for your outcomes. In as much as we try to blame others for our shortfalls, we are still to be held responsible for however we turn out.

"To err is human and to blame another person for your own mistakes is even more humans"

How you view life matters a lot in your journey about life. Whatever dominates your thoughts would be what you will attract. Don't live your life based on what others told you about yourself. They can point things out but they have no power to determine the narrative of your life. You will have to want it and then do something about it. It is not what others say about you that matters but what you say to yourself when they are done talking.

I know we have read from history so many people that their teachers wrote off that they would never amount to anything and painstakingly, they drove themselves to the pinnacle of their chosen strength. That's life. Stop playing the victim and stop playing the blaming game because you will be stuck where you are for so long if you don't change how you think first and take steps towards it. I understand that we are a product of our surroundings and our background. You can be local and still think intercontinental. There is no barrier to how you can stretch your imaginations. This is why you have to first change the way you think and view things before your life can follow suit.

Mindset is the way you see things from your perspective and we have those with static mindsets as well as those with a growth mindset. Mindset is a habit you form as a result of life's experiences. Your habit forms your attitude and your attitude will influence your decisions in life. How you act - your actions, are also the factors of your attitude. Your mindset is the key to everything you can ever become in this life.

Why do you think many people quit so easily when things are not going their way? Why do you think many people complain about read.cash? Normally, there would always be an attraction to a platform like read.cash which is the opportunity to earn but your mindset would determine your consistency especially when that earning isn't coming as much as you had pictured. Having a positive mindset would let you know that the system is not wrong but you are just missing something which only a positive mindset would keep you humble to find.

Your mindset will give you the goals while your attitude will give you the ability to achieve those goals. The mindset that you sustained will soon become your attitude and that's why if you sustain the wrong mindset long enough you will be left with a wrong attitude.

If you are the type with a fixed mindset or a static mindset as earlier mentioned, you will always resist change. It would take a conscious effort to change anyone with a fixed perception or view. The good thing is, your mindset can change and a growth mindset is a key to success in whatever field you find yourself in. It will open your eyes to understand and give the needed hard work, dedication, effort and persistency needed to thrive.

Your mindset is formed by external factors like the information you are exposed to. If you are fed with information about someone and you are the type with a fixed mindset, you will form your opinion about the person already without giving the person the chance to either prove you wrong or for you to be objective enough to see things.

For those into business, you have to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset. You need a discipline which is efficiency and process-based. You also need effectiveness which you will be judged based on results. You need determination as well which will show your pattern if you can follow through to the end on your set task. You also need to be innovative. You can't get stuck with the idea of the 19th century without the willingness to learn how things work presently. You have to stay positive - highly optimistic and you can build your mind to achieve these.

An innovative mind is a growing mind that is ready to bear risks, organize and manage functions. If you have an entrepreneurial mindset too, it means you can seize opportunities when you see one, screen opportunities for you to know not every opportunity is actually an opportunity and you will be able to seek opportunities even when nothing is presenting itself to you.

Your mindset is what you have to work on to achieve your desired goal in life.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for this my friend. Now I know why my action of buying phones to my sister and my partner's sister were useless because they both don't have this mindset of doing there best to earn. They only want to ask money without work. Easy money it is, that's what they want.

Most people like taking advantage and wouldn't want to have the mindset that they can get it by themselves and even more, if they are willing to do the work. They need to understand the meaning of diligence and patience, my friend.

You are right my friend but then I think they don't have that traits yet. How I wish they got mature and know that life is hard and looking money as financial aid is hard and that we need to strive. 🥺 They maybe thought that I and my partner just oick the money on the road for them to ask more without thinking we're also in need. Well, how I wish they help their selves and change their mindset.

Hahaha that's the sad thing. They don't know how hard you have to push to get money and yet they want to sit down and expect goodies. Life doesn't work that way. If only they can push themselves and whatever is left, you can help them with, not that you have to be the one to do everything for them. Not cool.

Indeed my friend. Hahhaa that's why, I toned down myself being generous to them so that they'll know the word hardwork for everything they want in life. ☺️

Mind is so powerful it can controls you. So you/we must set our mind in reaching our end/goal. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, it's part of the process.

What our lives look like is not determined by our physical life, the mental side plays a vital role as well.

The mindset is one of the biggest factors behind success and without a positive one, a person can end up living as a waste of life.

Well said, my brother. We need that positive mindset so we won't end up missing out on the great things we can achieve in life.
