9 Thoughts You Need Out of Your Mind
« on: December 14, 2013, 11:10:12 pm »
The human mind is wonderful and
powerful, but it’s far from perfect. Too often
we are addicted to our thoughts, and we
can’t change anything in our lives if we can’t
change our thinking. If you want to move
forward with your life, you must change
your mind and get these thoughts OUT of it:
1. “Life sucks and that’s just the way it is.”
The mind can be the harshest battleground.
It can be the place where the greatest
conflicts are carried out. It’s where half of
the things you thought were going to
happen, never came to be. But if you allow
those thoughts to dwell in your mind and
fester, they will succeed in robbing you of
peace, of happiness, and of everything that
is beautiful in this world.
Tell the negativity committee that meets
inside your head to sit down and shut up.
Don’t think yourself into a nervous
breakdown, into depression, into hopeless
defeat. If you’re being negative when you’re
alone, the warfare is in your mind. The fight
you’ve got to fight is in your mind. You can’t
change what has happened, but you can
choose how you’re going to deal with it.
2. “Those haters are right about me.”
Be wise enough to walk away from the
negativity around you; don’t let it infect your
thinking. Don’t let someone else’s negative
opinion ruin your reality. No matter how
much negativity is thrown at YOU by others,
there is absolutely no need for you to stay
put and partake in the decay they choose
for their own lives. YOU decide how your
soul grows.
When the people around you give you every
reason to be negative, think of one good
reason to be positive. There’s always
something to be grateful for. Say it: “I am
lucky to be alive! I am happy to be me! I
have so much to be grateful for! My life isn’t
perfect, it’s just pretty darn good!” (Angel
and I discuss this in more detail in the “Self-
Love” and “Relationships” chapters of
“1,000 Little Things Happy, Successful People
Do Differently
.”)
3. “The way it is now is the way it will
always be.”
Don’t confuse your path with your
destination. Just because it’s stormy now,
doesn’t mean you aren’t headed for
sunshine. And remember, you cannot heal a
lifetime of pain overnight; be patient with
yourself, it takes as long as it takes, but your
happiness is well worth the wait.
You write your own destiny through the
choices you make. You become what you
repeatedly do. It is more important to know
where you are going and why, than to get
there quickly. Do not mistake activity for
achievement. Every time you are tempted to
react to the same old circumstances in the
same old way, ask yourself, “Do I want to be
a prisoner of the past, or a pioneer of the
future?”
4. “Life is supposed to be easy.”
Nothing worthwhile in life was meant to be
easy; learn to take it easy with your
expectations in this area. Don’t expect
things to be given to you. Go out and
achieve them! It’s the only sane way to deal
with life’s challenges. If it’s worth having, it’s
worth working for.
Anyone can run away and waste away; it’s
super easy to do nothing. Facing challenges
and working through them, that’s what
makes you strong. And even on your
weakest days you get a bit stronger. So
today, stop wishing for it and start working
for it. Talk is cheap. Action is priceless. (Read
Flourish .)
5. “It’s easier to blame someone else.”
Too many of us only take credit for positive
outcomes. In other words, we take full
credit for our successes, but deny
responsibility for our failures. A perfect
example of this can be witnessed in school
classrooms across the globe. When students
receive a good grade, they often attribute it
to their intelligence and their excellent study
habits. But when they get a bad grade, they
attribute some of their failure to a bad
teacher, an unfair set of test questions, or a
subject matter that “isn’t needed in the real
world anyway.”
Realize that in order for you to grow
emotionally, you must be willing to take full
responsibility for all your actions and
outcomes – successes and failures alike.
Because if you are too afraid of failure, you
can’t possibly do what needs to be done to
be successful. Setbacks, failures, obstacles,
and hardships are the contractors of life;
they build character, strength and
knowledge.
6. “I just can’t stand X, Y and Z!”
Today, let your small annoyances go. Move
through your day consciously. Make an
effort to notice at least one insignificant little
frustration that you would normally get
frustrated about. Then do yourself a favor
and simply let it go. Experience, in this little
way, the freedom of being in control of the
way you feel
. And realize that you can extend this same
level of control to every situation you
encounter in life.
At any given moment, the way you feel is the
way you choose to feel, and the way you
react is the way you choose to react.
7. “They look a certain way, so they must
be a certain way.”
Superficial judgments are made the instant
one person assumes something about
another person based on their immediate
appearance. Sadly, this likely happens
thousands of times every minute, all around
the world. For example, someone might see
a tall, well groomed man in his early fifties
wearing a business suit, and instantly
assume he is successful and reliable, even
though there is zero concrete evidence to
support this assumption.
Bottom line: Don’t judge a person by what
they show you in a single glance. What
you’ve seen is oftentimes only what they
have chosen to show you at that particular
moment. Too often we jump to conclusions.
Talk with people, listen to their stories,
watch what they do – this is how you get to
know who they truly are.
8. “Giving up and starting over is a sign of
failure.”
Don’t try to diminish your losses from a past
failure by continuing to follow the exact
same path that led to the failure in the first
place. In other words, don’t do the same
thing over and over again and expect
different results. If it didn’t work last time,
and you haven’t made any significant
changes, it probably won’t work this time
either.
Sometimes we justify our decision to
continue investing in a failed endeavor
based solely on our cumulative prior
investment, despite new evidence
suggesting that the cost, starting today, of
continuing to pursue it outweighs the
expected benefit. The logical thing to do
would be for us to cut our losses and
change our course of action. However, due
to the sunk costs we have already invested,
we feel committed to the endeavor, so we
invest even more time, money and energy
into it, hoping that our additional
investment will reverse the outcome. But
most of the time it never will.
When you can no longer think of a reason to
continue, you must think of a reason to start
over, and that’s perfectly OK. There’s a big
difference between giving up and starting
over in the right direction. (ReadDaring
Greatly .)
9. “It’s too late. I missed my chance.”
Be done with regrets; they are an excuse for
people who have given up. You are still here
trying and growing. Life is about learning
from the past, trusting your intuition going
forward, taking chances, finding moments
of happiness, and realizing everything is
simply a lesson that happens for a reason.
Don’t stress over what could’ve been;
chances are if it should’ve been, it would’ve
been. Focus on the present; you have a lot to
look forward to in it. Just do your best.Every
moment gives you a new beginning and a
new ending. You get a second chance, every
second. And YOUR best chance is happening
right NOW.
Afterthoughts and next steps…
The Dalai Lama once said, “A new way of
thinking has become the necessary
condition for responsible living and acting.
If we maintain obsolete values and beliefs, a
fragmented consciousness and self-
centered spirit, we will continue to hold
onto outdated goals and behaviors.”
Today, make it a point to defragment your
consciousness and center your spirit on
positive, productive thoughts. Whatever you
do, don’t get stuck on the one thing that
ruins your day. Smile and be grateful. Life is
too short to waste on negativity and
destructive thinking.
Your turn…

negative thoughts and destructive thinking
traps do you struggle with? Leave a
