“No
one pours a new wine into an old wine skin (bottle),” Mark 2:22
As Albert Einstein
reportedly said, “it is foolhardy to do something the same way and expects a
different outcome” (paraphrased). The same philosophy is applicable to everyone
today: to experience a new life or a new success, it is imperative that people must
adopt a new way of thinking, living and reasoning.
This begins with the stark realization that you
are solely responsible for some of the things that happened to you. It is
reasonable to state that there are other circumstances that may be beyond your
power, which people normally refer to as the “act of fate or destiny”, and from
which God has the supernatural power to rescue you, but there are some problems
in your life that a little transformation in your attitude, belief and mindset
may help resolve. Take for instance, a person who lacks personal accountability
in the areas of finances, time management and interpersonal communication may
learn how to change his or her bad habit and re-position himself or herself for
greater successes.
The funniest thing is that most people cannot
actually identify those success-inhibiting mindsets that they possess. This is
because if you can identify that line of thought, belief or philosophy that
stands between you and your success, you will, for sure, do everything within
your power to remove those obstacles.
So, here
are some of the mindsets that can hinder your desire to achieve enviable
success in life:
·
Negativism:
Entertaining negative thoughts, ideas, messages et cetera can turn you into a
die-hard pessimist—someone who can never see any positive thing or opportunity
in everything!
·
Low self-esteem:
There is little you can get done if you don’t actually believe in yourself,
your ability or capability, and your skills. No one can help you believe in YOU
if you are not willing to do so. It is a personal duty that everyone grapples
with on a daily basis.
·
Unteachable:
People who are not teachable never learn anything new: they often let their
ego, personal achievement and level of education stand in the way of learning
how to overcome the problems in their lives.
·
Comfort-zone dwellers: Those
who dwell happily in their comfort zones never aspire to learn how they can
expand their horizons. They are already settled and mostly unwilling to welcome
any new thing that is capable of tipping them off their current comfortability
scales. Such people never believe anyone can live happily and healthily in
stupendous success. They are satisfied with their current meager livelihoods!
