Identify limiting beliefs in your life and stop these negative patterns.

Napoleon Hill was right when he said, "There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge. Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought." That quote brings to mind what Henry Ford also said "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right." Your mind is as good as the limitations you place on it. Your current mindset is responsible for the person you are today, however, very often you can be unaware of the mindset you have.

"Stating you intentions for how you wish to think, feel and act is the beginning of upgrading the neurological pathways in your brain that eventually shift your behaviours to those that support your life, instead of repeating behaviours that keep you stuck."

Set small goals each day and week to achieve them. There is a power to breaking things down, and to working towards them little by little vs getting overcome by the idea of the completed goal you want. Realise it's possible, instead of telling yourself why you can't. Become aware of your self-talk. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Use the skills you already have. Focus on your strengths, build upon it and improve with time.

Pay attention to your self talk and consider making changes if necessary. This is the "can-do" talk that may have a positive effect if you open yourself up to it. It might be worth a try when you consider steps for changing your mindset. People with a growth mindset believe that they can improve with effort. They outperform those with a fixed mindset, even when they have a lower IQ, because they embrace challenges, treating them as opportunities to learn something new. - Travis Bradberry You can change your brain's patterns once you start to consistently feed your mind with new empowering messages.

If you've ever failed at reaching any goal in life, the problem could all be in your mind. That's how important your mindset is. If you want to real change, you need to start reframing your mindset. Stop reacting to life and start responding to it.
