Published

Success is not that difficult to attain, but only if you are ready to make an effort. To live a successful life, it is important to develop habits which can positively impact most of your personal and professional lives. One such habit impacting your success rate is the habit of being mindful. Mindful thinking is all about being aware of your thoughts.

This shift towards mindfulness will make you think deeply and objectively while being aware of what you’re doing. Becoming mindful of your thoughts will help increase your resilience to stress. This, in turn, will enhance your decision-making capabilities. Mindfulness is more than just sitting still and breathing deeply, because while being mindful is simple, most of us lack the passion for sustaining it.

However, once we realize the benefits of practicing mindfulness, we can make an effort to become intentionally mindful. It stabilizes your emotional intelligence making you stay calm in the midst of disturbance. When mindfulness is practiced correctly, it can have many positive impacts on your life. It might not solve problems, but it will give you the strength to face them.

If you aren’t convinced yet, check out the 5 benefits below:

1. Improved Productivity

The practice of mindfulness can help us sort out the chaos in our minds. This gives us better clarity as to what is truly important and enables us to filter out the rest. We often waste time doing unnecessary things, and this is because we don’t have proper clarity. But once we sort that out, it is easy to work on what is important, and our overall productivity improves.

That means even those tasks which we usually identify as a waste of time or simple and mundane can be transformed into something that is useful. This way, everything we do throughout the day can be productive.

2. Enhanced Decision Making

Decision making is a difficult task, and to steer clear of any bias while making a decision is next to impossible. We all have biases wired into our minds, and they cause us to make less optimal decisions.

Being mindful can train us to develop more refined opinions as a result of self-awareness. This can help us see our biases more objectively, which helps us make better decisions. In other words, mindfulness is important for us in making decisions as it makes us think beyond our comfort zones.

“To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else.” – Dalai Lama

3. Better Health

Well, by now, you know that mindful thinking is good for your mental health. But research has proven it also improves physical health in some ways. When you manage your time better, your other habits are also transformed. Mindful thinking increases our discipline at work and enhances personal relationships.

We stop reacting based on emotionally driven thoughts and respond accordingly to our values instead. Mental stability positively impacts your body. When your mind is clear, what can stop you from attaining optimal health?

4. More Happiness

We could all use a bit of sunshine in our lives. Yes, as mentioned above, the practice of mindfulness was initially begun with the aim of bringing more happiness to the practitioner. It all starts with becoming more aware of your thoughts and making sure they are positive and productive.

The methods of being mindful were constructed to help one realize unconditional happiness, because what is the purpose of all the efforts and money we make if we cannot be happy? It is important to ban any negativity from entering your mind and practice habits that will make you feel happy.

“Believing in negative thoughts is the single greatest obstruction to success.” – Charles F. Glassman

5. Positive Influence

Mindfulness makes us happier and more pleasant to be around. We start to treat people better and try to spread the joy we have. The key purpose of our success in life is to be able to affect others positively. This is when we must build influence with other people.

Being mindful gives us the ability to be able to help others in need as it makes us more empathetic towards them. This makes us exert positive influence over others. Once they start to realize the good that mindfulness has brought to us, they will embrace the habit too.

The power of mindfulness is an absolute habit for success, not only in our professional lives but also in our personal lives. With positivity and clarity in what we want to achieve, mindfulness helps us grow into better individuals. The habit helps impact every aspect of our life and channels it towards success because it refines our mind towards becoming more self-aware.

The five reasons listed above are why you should start practicing this habit. No matter what your motivation is, once you begin, you will attain success and unconditional happiness. Make an effort and slowly add mindfulness to your daily activities, and you will reap its benefits.

How to Break the Cycles of Mediocrity and Manifest Your Greatness

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity

In just a few weeks, we will be wrapping up 2023. Can you believe it? This year has been absolutely incredible for me.

I have seen amazing doors opened, new relationships formed and I am seeing dreams realized in my life. While this seems like the hallmarks of a great year, this has also been the most challenging year of my life. With all of the change happening in my life, I have been forced out of my comfort zone and challenged to grow in every area of my life.

I can truly say that I have made the most of my moments this year and I have used everything as a catalyst for maximizing my greatest potential.

As a revolutionary leader, I have the pleasure of consulting and advising leaders around the world to fulfill purpose, realize their greatest potential and make an impact.

I want to share some insights with you that will help you to break cycles of mediocrity and manifest your greatness

Everything legal must come through the matrix

I am sure that some of you are wondering why I am using the term matrix. However, what you have to understand is that I am trying to make a highly complex spiritual principle practical to understand.

Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, every life has an origin and I believe that origin is divine and begins with eternity. You are birthed from eternity and into time to fulfill a unique purpose and assignment in your lifetime and generation.

The matrix is simply the portal or vehicle that brings something out of the invisible realm and into tangible form. The problem with much of the teaching today is that it excludes the matrix. We are told to believe that success is instantaneous and overnight.

Nobody talks about how a dream progresses through stages beginning with visualization and ultimately culminating in manifestation. Without a matrix or portal then everything that you attempt to birth and build will be illegal.

The matrix not only makes you legal but it gives you the authority and power to function as the greatest expression of who you were created to be. 

Every matrix has an incubation process

While many people admire and respect me today, I remember a time when nobody knew who I was or the significance of my message. How did I get to where I am today? I got here through an incubation process.

In other words, everything that has been destined for your life is incubating and awaiting a set time of manifestation. The problem is that most people live their entire lives idle and never initiate the incubation process.

What do I meany by that? Most people are living reckless and very few people are living intentionally. I am amazed at the number of people I have conversations with that have no vision, goals or strategies for their lives. They show great promise and they have undeniable potential.

However, without development they will die with their dreams still in them.

Everything that has been destined for your life must be incubated and converted to become realities born to time. 

“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin to build.” – Robert Collier

You must give expression to that which is not yet born to time

When you think about a matrix or a prophetic incubation process, you have to understand that potential is often unrealized and untapped. In other words, your potential is in raw form and your potential cannot serve you as long as it is untapped.

The thing that makes me valuable is that I have the ability to convert potential into power. I have done it in my own life and I have empowered leaders around the world to do the same. How do you convert potential into power?

First, it is important to note that you have to perceive potential. If you cannot perceive your potential then you can never cultivate your potential. In addition, you must take the time to cultivate your potential. We often get excited about our capabilities; however, we never expand our capacity in order to realize our greatest potential.

In other words, the strength of your potential is only discovered through your willingness to stretch. The more we are challenged the more we are empowered to expand our capacity for greatness. Most of all, you must begin to express your potential. The expression of potential is different for every person.

For example, the expression of my potential is best demonstrated through the thoughts, ideas, products, services, books, etc.

For another person the expression of potential may look like a screenplay, artwork, sports, scientific discoveries, medical breakthroughs, etc.

Regardless of the form of expression, I know that you will live empty and unfulfilled until you make the decision to express your potential. The expression of your potential gives voice to your dreams, life to your vision, significance to your moments and activates your true power.

You must manifest your greatness

As a revolutionary thinker and leader, my work has impacted people around the world. I am grateful that my life is a source of empowerment to so many people. However, before anyone could ever benefit from my life, I had to make a non-negotiable decision to become who I was born to be.

I wish I could tell you that this journey is easy and that you will get there overnight. However, in a world that celebrates us for doing we are often criticized for being. As a result, I wasted a lot of time trying to be who other people wanted me to be instead of being who I was born to be.

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity. It is through our bravery to be vulnerable that we ultimately manifest our greatness. We do not bless the world by being a duplicate. We bless the world when we honor our difference. When you honor your difference you honor your potential.

Ultimately, your difference is how you manifest your greatness.

When you present anything but your authentic self to the world, you are playing small and you are robbing the world of your significance. Manifesting your greatness requires you to master your gifts.
