Determination, Motivation and an Unstoppable Mindset For Success

It’s time to cut ties, burn bridges and break free the chains that bind you. Do you have a mindset for success?

No more excuses. No more self pity. No more self doubt.

Today is your day. Today nothing can hold you back. Why, because today you won’t allow it.

Do you know what the single most valuable characteristic in every self made millionaire is? Determination.

Highly successful people don’t find people to blame when they fail. They don’t revel in self pity, and they do not doubt their abilities.

The only thing that separates you from these people is your mindset.

Do you ever doubt yourself and your abilities? Do you feel like you don’t have the intelligence or skill necessary to be successful? You Do. It all starts with a mindset for success. And that starts here.

The average IQ of a millionaire is average. That’s right, There is no prerequisite for brainpower to become successful. However, there is a skill more valuable than a supernatural ability to comprehend information, and it can only come from you. It can not be given to you, and once you have it, it can not be taken from you.

You have the power to change your circumstances, and to do that, all you have to do is change your mind. If you are a woman this should come natural. If you are a man, pay attention to a woman. (kidding)

Dying To Live

When I was 19 years old, I was in an accident that splashed acid into my eyes. I was blind for three months. The treatment that I was given to return my eyesight, led to heart complication that caused me to have 7 minor heart attacks in one year.

I dropped down to 130 lbs. and barely had the energy to walk up stairs. Finally, I had to choose between dropping the medicine and possibly going blind, or continuing the medicine and possibly dying. (it’s a harder decision than you think)

I decided to stop the meds and take the risk. As soon as I began to feel better I started exercising. Then weight lifting, and then power lifting.

By the time I was 22, I had won several first, second and third place victories in bodybuilding and qualified pro as a powerlifter. The same guy with the heart complications, who was 130 lbs less than two years earlier. In case you were wondering, I still have my eyesight over 10 years later.

If you tell your mind it can do these things, it will act accordingly

I learned early on what it takes to be successful. I found that place where determination becomes motivating, and the impossible becomes possible. And I found the answer in myself. I was the only person capable of deciding whether I would fall on my face, or stand proud on that stage.

It is no different for you. Are you letting the negativity of people around you affect your better judgment about your abilities. Or maybe you are the negative one and fail to believe in yourself, even with the support of family and friends.

The only thing between you, and the completion of your dreams, is Your belief in yourself. I don’t even have to know you to believe in you. I believe in people. People have changed the world over many times, without anything going for them, but a mindset for success.

Whatever your goal is, I believe in you.

• Do you have a dream to own your own business?
• Want to compete in a triathlon?
• Have never been able to lose that extra weight?
• Need to put the spark back into a failing marriage?

I have no doubt in my mind that you can do all of these things and much more. But that doesn’t mean anything, if you don’t believe in yourself, and stop treating these things like a lost cause.

Take a step back from your life today. Look at everything you have to offer, and believe that you can make your dreams happen. They will.
