Episode 12 - Mindset

Mindset. 

There is no magic formula to changing your mindset or how you think. 

According to Wikipedia: A mindset is an established set of attitudes of a person or group concerning culture, values, philosophy, frame of mind, outlook, and disposition. It may also arise from a person's worldview or beliefs about the meaning of life.

 

To change the way we think, behave, react, move through our lives requires intentionality. 

Rocky Balboa: from victim to eye of the tiger

Boys in the boat: from poverty mentality and inward focus to teamwork and champion mindset

Our mindset is a culmination of our experiences, knowledge, culture and values. 

This fuels our Actions and Attitudes  which produce either a positive or negative outcome. How you think matters to how well you live

Oftentimes we need a coach to help us get unstuck from the mindsets that keep us from moving forward and succeeding in life. I know I do… That’s why I have a coach and why we do what we do. (graphic from Robin Gerald) If you’re not getting the life you want, then it’s time to change the way you think AND, grow! 

Fixed Mindset limits you and places limits on God and what He wants to do in your life

Growth Mindset is limitless, taking off the constraints and opening your life up to the wide open spaces of abundance

Growth vs Fixed

What got us here won’t get us there

Post crisis mindset was more complicated than the peak crisis mindset 

Take time to sit with the Holy Spirit and ask him the mindsets, beliefs, thoughts and habits that undermine your ability to stand firm whatever the circumstances.

Ask him if there are any habits he would like you to establish that will help you prepare for the season to come.

'Be free from pride-filled opinions, for they will only harm your cherished unity . Don’t allow self-promotion to hide in your hearts, but in authentic humility put others first and view others as more important than yourselves. Abandon every display of selfishness. Possess a greater concern for what matters to others instead of your own interests. And consider the example that Jesus, the Anointed One, has set before us. Let his mindset become your motivation.'  Philippians 2:3-5

Stretching gives you a shot at significance:

Cross over from good to GREAT! - the land of the possible

Philosopher Søren Kierkegaard said, “A possibility is a hint from God. One must follow it.”

 

Stretching to the end:

Think of the little ways you can always grow and improve

 

John Maxwell calls this the Law of the Rubber Band: Growth stops when you lose the tension between where you are and where you could be. Have you chosen comfort over potential?

Stretching starts from the inside out. So many people are willing to settle for Good Enough

Stretching always requires change

Stretching sets you apart from others 

Stretching can become a lifestyle: “If you wont be better tomorrow than today then what do you need tomorrow for?” (Rabbi Nahman) 

Stretching gives you a shot at significance. What if more people aspired to become more?

Stretching is a lifelong pursuit.
