What are you Occupying Your Mind With?
“Those who occupy their minds with small matters, generally become incapable of greatness.” That quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld couldn’t be more true. Have you ever found yourself focusing on the little things in life instead of focusing on the big picture? Have you ever caught yourself getting carried away with little problems when you could have been solving life’s bigger problems? What are you occupying your mind with? It better be empowering questions and empowering thoughts or else you are going to be stuck in the middle of no man’s land of achieving.
Do you think that when Edison was inventing electricity, he was focused on what people thought of his countless previous failures? No, he was focused on achieving his desired outcome which was giving the world electricity. Do you think when Michael Phelps was going for an Olympic record eight gold medals he was occupied with thoughts of what his competitors thought of his personality? No, he was focused on exactly what he had to do to win those eight gold medals to beat the previous record of seven. Do you think you are going to make your dreams come true if you occupy your mind with what will happen if you fail again? Do you think you are going to achieve the outcomes that you desire if you focus on what happens if you get the same failing results as before? No way, not a chance and you should probably quit while you are ahead if you are occupying your mind with the small matters in life.
You will never achieve greatness without having focused thoughts of greatness. You will never be great unless you consistently ask yourself empowering questions that will inspire that greatness out of you that you desire. Questions like, “What am I going to have to do differently than before to achieve the success that I desire?” “What actions am I going to take today to get me closer to my desired goals?” If you want to be an empowered person than you have to have empowering thoughts that constantly occupy your mind. If you want to be an inspired person than you will have to constantly ask yourself empowering questions.
Don’t focus daily on all of your problems because they are only going to multiply.
If you focus on solutions to your problems you will find that sooner than later you will no longer have these problems. All experiences in our lives are a direct result of our dominant mental thoughts. Your life will depend on the quality of your thoughts. You are the creator of your future. You are the master of your destiny. You can achieve anything you believe so make sure you are using your precious thoughts to empower you to a life of greatness. I know you can. Do you believe you can?
