Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it. Steve Maroboli
REFLECTIONS (learnings and actions):
Last week I discussed that your success, or the cap on your success, is built on two foundational pieces.
First is your core health. Simply how you feel physically - energy, vitality, weight.
And like building a house, you will need both in order for the house to fully be supported.
Today I am going to share the second pillar.
I can guarantee you will be able to achieve anything you choose by mastering them both.
Let's get to it.
Did you know you have one of the greatest mechanism on the planet?
Serious.
I am talking more sophisticated than any of the computers today which can transmit and analyze milli...billions of bits of information per second.
It can search vast amounts of data and can make sense of abstract concepts in seconds.
Well, what is this mechanism?
Your BRAIN.
That is correct, your brain is one of the most powerful computers - mechanisms - on the planet.
The thing is it operates just like computers in that it takes in inputs and then produces outputs based on them.
Now here is the thing, the "inputs" part is pretty crucial as if given the improper ones you will ALWAYS get the wrong outputs.
Say for example you are tying to print turn on your computer - output - but you do so by saying turn on - input. It won't work (yet).
You have to push the power button - input - to get the computer to turn on - desired output.
This is the same with your brain.
If you give it the improper *inputs* it will give you the outputs associated with those inputs.
Now to ensure you are getting the proper inputs, you will need a powerful filter to weed out the improper ones.
This brings us to the second pillar because it is your filter to ensure your brain gets the proper inputs.
What is it?
Mind-set.
Not mindset by the way. It is mind - set.
I say mind - set, as mindset is such a buzz word today. Strong, successful, positive...yet, most people one, do not understand it, and two, over complicate it.
Simply, mind-set is "how you think about yourself and the world around you."
Now, why is mind-set so important?
Well, like I said earlier it acts as a filter to feed your mind the proper inputs to
-level up
-produce more
-perform better
But, here is the kicker...
The majority of your mind-set is operating at a subconscious level and this is crucial to understand.
For example, on any given second you are receiving 11,000,000 bits of information from your intrinsic (built-in) memory system subconsciously.
While, consciously you receive 50 bits of information.
11,000,000
50.
Pretty simple to see what will win out every time.
Thus, if you are not aware of "how you think about yourself" then you will NEVER get the results you want. Guaranteed.
Why?
Because your subconscious mind always fights to preserve your identity at all costs.
Even if this identity is one that does not serve you.
Even if it is an identity which brings you pain.
It is like playing an internal chess match with yourself, where every conscious move you make is then countered by 2 moves (or more0.
It is why the saying goes 2-steps forward, 3-steps back.
But here is the beauty of all of this.
Your mind-set can be changed and improved.
Just like a muscle, consistent exercise will help it grow and improve.
Thus, allowing you to equip yourself with the filters necessary to provide your brain with the proper inputs so you can become a higher version of self to conquer the world!
Now here are 4 things you can do to get your mind-set in champion shape.
1. Clarity
What do you want? Who do you need to become? What does that look like?
If you do not know nothing else will matter.
It is like a GPS, you need to know where you are going, and where you are starting from.
2. Rituals
You will need processes to remind you of who you want to become, what actions you need to take, and how to structure your days so you can do this.
2. Inputs
Results pay homage to the process. The process is controlled by the inputs.
Thus, if you do not like the outputs, change the inputs.
3. Environment
One of the single most important factors which will determine your success.
Do you want to become a higher version of self?
Surround yourself with people ahead of you...not those who are playing at your current level.
Or even worse, people who are playing at a level below you.
A weak person in a strong person will always beat a strong person in a weak environment. ALWAYS
So there you have it.
The "2 Pillar" system for success.
I can guarantee you that if you master these two pillars you will be able to achieve ANYTHING...like Die on Mars type of goals like Elon Musk.
So delay no more and get after it today!

PS. If you know another driven individual, hungry for more in life that would benefit from these insights let me know.
I will reach out to them personally to add them to the list.
Thanks in advance for helping me create a greater IMPACT....J
