Embracing A Limitless Mentality
One of the things you need to understand about life is that the journey towards living a limitless life starts with possessing a positive mentality. That is, having the belief that there is nothing impossible to be achieved if only you can set your mind towards it. As a matter of fact, possibilities and Impossibilities have their root in the mindset. In order to live a life beyond limits, you also should possess a mindset that thinks beyond limits. This is because everything that happens to an individual can be remotely pointed out to their dominant thoughts.
You will be surprised to know that a major part of what normally limits people is not from someone on the external but from their own thoughts. If you have concluded within your mind that a task is impossible for you to undertake, then you have already limited yourself from seeing the possibility in it. This is why I normally tell people that having a wrong thought can act as a constraint to one's mentality and can affect their lives negatively. If you want to achieve greatness, then it should start by you overcoming the constraint of the mind. In fact, great feat starts from having a positive mind. There is no upper limit to what can be achieved, the only limit is in the mind.
There was a time I wanted to write a particular exam which is part of my professional certifications. I heard so many complaints about how difficult the exam was and it made me scared of writing it. Because of this fear, I kept deferring the exam from month to month because it is written once a month at the designated centres. After a few months of being scared and deferring the exam, I asked myself why I had not written the exam and that was when it dawned on me that fear was at work. I had to work on my mentality to move from fear to courage so as not to be scared of writing the exam.
When I finally got my courage back, I registered the exam for the next month and I got some past questions to revise with. When I got hold of the past questions, I discovered that the questions were not as difficult as people had portrayed the exam to be. The past questions that I got gave me more courage because almost all the questions there were what I already know. I prepared for the exam and when the day came, I walked into the exam centre and took the exam. When the result came out, I excelled exceptionally well in it. It was at that point that I realized that it was my mentality that was holding me back all these while. When I broke lose from the barriers of the mind, I achieved my desired result.
In life, if you want to achieve greatness, then you have to broaden your expectation of what is possible. No matter how an idea may look like and no matter the difficulty surrounding a task, you have to understand that it is not impossible. When you have removed the mentality of impossibility from your life, then you will be able to dare the impossible. Instead of focusing your thoughts on what you think will not work, why not channel the same energy into creating a limitless mentality? You need to believe that any thing you set your mind to do is possible to be done.
Even when you have made an attempt at something and it seems like you did not succeed at it, you have to understand that failure is not supposed to be a final verdict, rather a call to try again and do it better than before. A lot of people have feared failure so much that they have refused to make any attempt. Without taking any step or making attempts, then they have already agreed with their fears. What you have to do is to break off from what you fear the most and then take that step you have been afraid of. Maintain a positive mindset and see how positive your life will be. Always remember that your life is as limited or limitless as what your mindset is.
