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.

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 always requires CHANGE!!!!  Don’t look over your shoulder - the past is gone - Let your present and future be totally unlike your past Take Risks Do what you have never done!
