Once a very rich man said, "If you take all the money
in this world and divide it equally amongst everyone, it will reach the same
pockets as it was before". Why? Because, these people are wired for
success.
Even if you win a billion dollars but you do not have a
billionaire mindset, you will soon loose all that money.
So, the most important question we need to ask ourselves to
achieve success in any field be it professional, personal, relationship or
spiritual is "Do I have the right attitudes, beliefs or mindset for
success?"
Mindsets and attitudes can be compared to blueprints. We
cannot have a reality whose blueprint we don't have. They can also be compared
to a container. To hold the content of success we are aspiring for, we need to
be sure we have the right container for holding it. If the container is faulty,
there might be leakages of our success.
Few relevant and thought-provoking quotes -
To change one's reality, first one must change one's mentality.
The external is only a reflection of the internal.
To get more than you have - become more than you are.
It is not one's aptitude but one's attitude that determines one's altitude in life.
In my observation, the most successful people, even most successful
spiritualists have solid mindsets and attitudes. Otherwise, how is that two
people who are exposed to the same environment, one advances much ahead of the
other. Generally when we see successful people we tend to study what they did
to get where they are but we miss to study, what were their attitudes and
mindsets that got them there.
No wonder that Srila Prabhupada, Founder-acharya of ISKCON
mentions in his book 'Nectar of Instructions' a striking statement, which I
feel is very deep and extremely important. He writes - "Ones advancement
in Krishna Consciousness depends on the attitude of the follower".
So, what is most important is to take responsibility to
shape our attitudes, beliefs and mindsets - to do the internal work out, to get
ourselves in shape to handle success. No one can do this for us. We need to do
the hard work. But I guarantee you, as soon as you start the process of doing
this internal work, you will see amazing results. Just the process of internal
development is exhilarating.
Once you rewire yourself for success, you need not run after
success, success will helplessly be attracted to you. It has no choice.
