Turn Your Struggles Into Success With These 2 Mindset Shifts

Mindset is everything. The gurus tell us this and it is true. Your mindset is the beliefs you carry in your head about you and your abilities will determine how far you go in life. If you believe you are born to struggle, you will be suspicious of anything offering you an opportunity to stop struggling. You will feel completely justified in holding yourself back because your mind is okay thinking it is normal to struggle.
A few days ago, I was scrolling through my Instagram feed and came across an advert by one of the big names in the personal development field. He was promoting a book that had the word “millionaire” in the title. It seemed interesting so I wanted to see reviews of the book and I realized what a mistake it was to scroll through the comments.
It shocked me to see the bile that people posted on there in between the ‘I am so thankful for you’ comments. I felt pity for these negative nellies because in their mind, they were justified in speaking badly about someone else’s success. Their mindset has them thinking it is impossible to succeed towards becoming a millionaire. Due to this, they chose to make sure that everyone else KNEW how they felt and did not get ‘taken in’ by the supposed scam.
The truth is, it was all in their mind. If someone else has a form of success you desire, there is nothing stopping you from doing what they did and creating it for yourself unless you tell yourself that you cannot.
These negative nellies had told themselves they could not and now, decided to share their pain with everyone else by projecting it on the successful person. They keep themselves trapped in a continuous negative mindset so they try bringing others down instead of pulling themselves up.
Mindset is everything.
Take a moment to write down what you desire and as you write, check yourself for resistance to the idea. Write down what the resistance is and what it feels like.
Whether you realize it or not, your internal resistance is probably determining what you allow yourself to create. For example, I went from working full time as a pharmacist to more than replacing my income in my own business.
“Happiness depends on your mindset and attitude.” – Roy T. Bennett
Here are two mindset shifts which will change your life if you do the internal work needed to believe:
1. Waiting for a Saviour
As a spiritual person, I had been brought up to pray and wait on the will of Spirit before taking any moves. I would sing songs like ‘Pray until something happens’ and I was a hard worker so I kept waiting for my ship to come find me.
I kept thinking because I felt called to business, then the Spirit/Universe/Higher Power would send somebody to me whom I would discover and then all doors would open towards success.
I prepared myself for the day when everything would go my way. I made my struggle at the time a spiritual thing. As a singer, I would even create songs about how my time was coming one day.
You may read this and smile, thinking how silly does one need to be to believe that but think about your life. Are you hoping a day will come where someone discovers you and tells you that you are allowed to go after what you truly want?
At what moment exactly do you think you will be ready to prosper? Who needs to give you permission first? Have you also spiritualized your struggle like I did, or are you taking full responsibility for creating the life you desire?
“There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.” – Aristotle
2. I am ____________ and so therefore, I struggle
What is your particular belief of choice making you think you deserve to struggle? Maybe, you think that your skin color, your past, or your lack of time means you will struggle more than most.
Perhaps, you say your lack of technical skills means you can never get your online business off the ground. Maybe you are broke at the moment and you think that means you cannot get anything started because “everyone knows you need money to make money”.
You will always experience what you believe to be true because you will simply not put all your effort into creating a new reality.
Understand this: You will ALWAYS prove yourself right. ALWAYS! Decide no matter what seems to stand in your way, you will choose to prosper.
These are two beliefs that if you will do the work of shifting the way you think and replacing negativity with more empowering beliefs such as I am fully responsible for my success in life, I am a creator, and I can create my new reality, you will prove yourself right!
Read books to reinforce your chosen beliefs and stories of those who have overcome incredible odds to succeed and tell yourself that you are capable of doing the same.
Take massive action and do not be deterred from your goal.

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.
