Successful Mindset

“Why Does It Always Rain On Me?”

Ok, The title is clear enough, what to do when you feel down? People say life is like roller-coaster, sometimes we’re in the up, and some other time we’re in the down moment. We’re all only human, even the most positive mindset people in the world will feel down when a lot of sequences of bad events come to his life. The next question is how to get up when we’re in down moment. Do all those motivator or positive articles really help you when you’re in down moment? When you read those positive articles, it sounds very easy and maybe only those people in neutral mood or in the up moment will read and agree. But what happened when you feel down? From my personal experience, when I feel down, I don’t even have a mood to read those articles. This past few weeks I myself felt down, even I try to re-read my own article ‘Happiness Now and Forever‘, it did not really give the effect for me to get up from down moment. I’m not saying it’s useless, it helps, but still not enough for me to get out of down moment.

A lot of people will suggest you to hang out with your friends and seek for advice from your friend or those people who has experienced the same situation with you. Yes it helps, but not enough for me, sometimes deep inside our mind, we’re still not satisfied. For me personally, I analyzed and tried to find out what the root cause of this down feeling. For every action there is reaction, and for every cause there is an effect. When you feel down, there must be root cause of it. If it is something that can be solve, then try to find the solution instead of keep thinking about it again and again. Last time I felt down because I lose and couldn’t achieve all the thing I was hoping for, from career, desire to have business, relationship, investment, etc . So the solution for me was to create a new hope, pray to god and have a faith on it. I really felt how important it is to have a dream/hope in your life, it is like the purpose or the destination in your life. when you live without dream or hope, you life your life without any direction. When you lose your hope/dream, dare to create a new one, don’t be afraid to disappointed again. Dare to dream big and you shall achieve it one day.

Last week I was discussing the meaning of success in our life with some of my friends. Each of us has different interpretation of successful life. It’s true, living a successful life might mean different things to different people. Some of people consider financial wealth as success while developing close personal relationships can be considered success by others. Even people who agree financial wealth as the definition of success might have different wealth measurable. But, whether you want to achieve financial wealth, close friendships, or business success, there is only one thing that everyone has in common when pursuing a successful life which is mindset. Developing a positive mindset is very essential for motivating yourself to achieve your goals and eventually being able to consider yourself a true success.

How to develop the correct positive mindset for living a successful life then? The first key is believing that you have the power to achieve your goals. If you don’t have confidence and belief that you can have a successful life, you wont be able to achieve it because you will be unable to motivate yourself to perform the necessary action to succeed. Have a confidence, high self esteem and believing in yourself may take some time, especially if you encounter problems in your life. Everyone facing a lot of problem, and as the result, sometimes it often lead you to believe that you can not be successful, but you need to overcome these feeling.

A positive mindset is the foundation for success. “People often don’t realize how just a simple change in their thinking can have a massive impact on the success in their lives. Put simply, if people can get their thinking right, the benefits will naturally follow”.

I want to share Steve Jobs commencement speech in Stanford about his own life, I find it very interesting and motivating me. I believe you will get inspired hearing what he say. I totally agree with his 1st story about ‘connecting the dots’. Indeed if I take a look few years back on my life, all that was happening to me either bad or good was connecting each other, you will be able to see this clearly few years later. So, those of you who currently feel down in your life, rest assure, it will over soon and it will bring in something good to you in the future. Just hang on tightly, don’t give up. I put the video and text below of his speech for your convenience. Enjoy!

Happiness Now

Do you want to be happy? A lot of people feel that rich people are happier but they forgot that happiness is a choice?

“They’re not happy. They just think they’re happy.”

Happiness is a daily decision, you can be happy anywhere, regardless of who you are and in any environment and circumstances. And happiness is attitudinal behavior and you can change it instantly. For example, you were arguing with your brothers or sister and raise your voice in the argument, when the phone rings, you pick it up and know that it’s your girlfriend or boy friend, you immediately speak with a softer voice, you have change your attitude instantly. You need to make a decision and chose to be happy. Happiness will never come if you just wait until it comes or expecting someone to give you your happiness. No one will give you happiness, you have to make it by yourself.
