Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we discuss the importance of having the right mindset. Merriam Wester's dictionary gives two definitions for the word mindset. The first is a mental attitude or inclination. Growing up most of us have heard someone say, "You need to change your attitude." Zig Ziglar said it best in his well-known phrase, "Your attitude not your aptitude, will determine your altitude." The way you see a situation has a dramatic effect on the way you perform. A good book to help you develop a positive attitude is "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale.The second definition states, having a fixed state of mind. We have to remember that having a fixed state on mind is only an asset when we are right! That same fixed mind set become a liability when we are wrong and a hindrance to growth and change. Carol Dweck in her book "Mindset" encourages us to have a growth mindset. This is the belief that with hard work dedication and commitment an individual that has little knowledge or skill can increase to mastery over time. Finally, we end with the works from the apostle Paul as he writes to the Philippians. "And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." These thoughts will help you to develop a positive mindset and as a result, will dramatically change your life.
