Mindset Magic is Marvellous

The mind is an amazing thing, it can help you lead a successful and completely fulfilling life. But do we need more than one mindset to succeed?

I would categorically say YES to that.

To run a successful business, to win a gold medal at the Olympics, to climb a mountain or to be the best at what you do, you need a certain mindset. A mindset that wants to achieve.

But I think you need another, a personal positive mindset that is unique to you.

Many of you know me as a wheelchair user with a progressive condition. A few of you, not many, know me from my younger life when I could run 10 miles, was in the school Cross Country team, played Rugby and Football, rode a pushbike and a motorbike (though not at the same time!), and many other things.

Over time I have had to stop doing many of these things, it could get me down if I let it. But I have created a second mindset, a buffer zone – whatever you would like to call it. My second mindset is:

YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO IT NOW, BUT I’VE HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF DOING IT IN THE PAST.

For everyone your second mindset will probably be different to mine, but we all need one.

We all have down days, but most days this keeps me up. This is my way of doing things and is my take on life. This may not work for everyone, but it does for me.
