Good day fellow steemians, how have we all been? I hope the weather over there isn't as freezing as the one I have here. I'd love to be dwelling on motivations today because of what I saw in some fellow steemians post last night.
YOU ARE WHERE YOU ARE BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE
As lion begats lion, so also being poor in mind leads to being poor in real life or poverty. The current situation you are in as a result of your thoughts and your decisions. You can't be negative-minded and expect positive result. All the things you see happening to you are the manifestation of your inner thoughts and ideas. Most of life battles are won or lose in the mind.
Once you conclude in your mind that you can't be among the best because you see those that are doing well as possessing extra qualities you don't have, there is no how you can ever be the best. Funny enough, these qualities are also inside of you but because you've been blindfolded by your thoughts, there is no way you can ever get to see them. For you to see these qualities, you'll need to reposition your mind and thoughts so as to be able to see them.
Common sense would suggest that having ability, like being smart, inspires confidence. It does, but only while the going is easy. The deciding factor in life is how you handle setbacks and challenges. People with a growth mindset welcome setbacks with open arms.
Once you see these qualities, that's when you can make use of them. When you start making use of them, you've become a different person meaning you are no longer at the same spot again but in a different location.
If you are empty inside, you will definitely be empty outside. What this simply means is that if you are poor inwardly, you will also be poor outwardly. Ideas, they say rule the world. All the rich men we've read and heard of are those with wonderful ideas who successfully transformed those ideas in meeting people's need.
To you, I don't know what money means to you. But to me, money is the outward manifestation of an inner focus, of thoughts being steered towards a particular target. I also define it to mean the reward you get for rendering services to others. You can't give what you don't have. Once you have nothing inside of you, there is nothing you can offer outside that will generate you any money.
Now, you can see that you are where you are because of who you are. Your poverty is as a result of your poor ideas and thoughts. Once you can change your thoughts, you automatically change world. Become rich in ideas and thoughts and you'll see yourself becoming rich in real life.
The best way for you to move away from where you are is to change who you are. Changing who you are doesn't mean becoming someone else but changing your ideas and thoughts because a man is a product of his thoughts.
Stay positive and happy. Work hard and don't give up hope. Be open to criticism and keep learning. Surround yourself with happy, warm and genuine people.
