The Definition of Mindset is your way of thinking, the way you think today, it has taken many years to form, for many years you have kept your thinking in the same pattern, the result of which is your Mindset of today. To fit your thinking into a specific pattern, your life experiences, the environment during your growing up, and your family is responsible, the mindset of a child raised in a rich developed country will be different from that of an Indian child raised in poverty because both have different Self-Life Experiences.
How Mindset is formed?
Whatever we keep saying inside ourselves, our mind also reacts in the same way, your thoughts have made you who you are today, every person wants to change himself, wants to be better tomorrow than today. We have reached where we stand today because of our past, the mindset of two human beings one tells them to convert the problem into an opportunity and the other to run away from that problem. As soon as the mindset changes, our life starts changing.

We are expanding and I have chosen both of you to move to our new area and prepare a basic feasibility report. To check what are the market conditions. Aren't you excited guys? Asked the boss! A big smile appeared on Ajay's face. Thank you for choosing me for this mission. Like many other field managers in the company who deserve it. Such internal conversations were going on in his mind. Although there are many managers, I am the one chosen by the boss.
Boss must have noticed something in me! This is a great opportunity! Things are moving in the right direction for me. The company is opening an office in Africa. Going to Africa, traveling, doing wildlife safaris is my dream. This is a wonderful opportunity. On the other hand, an internal conversation took place in Vivek’s mind. "I know!" Bosses hate me from the start. He always had difficult things for me. What kind of place did the boss get to take this company internationally. Africa! Dust, mosquitoes, poverty, and then I chose to go there.

Ajay, on the other hand, wrote in his telegraph ... What a wonderful opportunity! The company would be exceptionally successful if we started in this country. Because you still wear shoes. If we launch our products here, our company will definitely succeed in this country. This is a good opportunity because no one here is wearing shoes yet. We can sell shoes to the whole country. There is no competition at all. We may be a monopoly supplier. And our production cost is very low. That's Ajay Telegraph.
After returning to India, Ajay was selected as the Project Head. Big promotion. He received a high incentive and a rehabilitation plan. He was also very happy with his job as he got a new challenge to show something. Vivek is back in his old job, with that unchanging routine, getting into trouble with those complaints. One's life is stuck there and another's life has just changed. The English word "transform" is a very interesting tool to go beyond form. There is so much change that the previous form is unrecognizable.
In that situation, one’s life got stuck there and another’s life changed completely. They are both in the same situation. With the same resources. Everything was the same. Then why the difference? The only difference is the mentality. The only difference is the thinking, attitude, and mentality. I read somewhere that opportunities are equal for everyone. It increases for some and decreases for others.
The only difference is in the thinking. How do you live your life? Are you exactly like Ajay or Vivek? Like Vivek, do you ignore or overlook your opportunities? Because our attitude determines whether we see opportunities or challenges. This is our opportunity except for skill, expertise, and everything; To work on our way of thinking. When a person has the right mindset, he can look for opportunities in any challenging situation. And in the long run, these are successful people. Not because they have a good degree or because they went to good schools, but because they have a different way of thinking and thinking. And we all have the opportunity to study ourselves and our minds so that we can keep our mindset in the right direction so that our life can be made better.
Always remember that your mentality is determined by your outlook on life; Whether your life vision is full of relationships or obstacles. In the same situation; What is your mentality? What are you looking for? What are your reasons? In this story, someone says the reason for not being able to sell shoes is because someone is not wearing shoes here. The situation remained the same but someone else gave a different reason for the company to be successful because no one here was wearing shoes yet.
The famous psychologist Carl Jung said beautifully: No event has a meaning on its own. We give it meaning. In doing so, it depends on whether we succeed in that situation, whether that situation is in our favor or against us. It depends on what we are giving. And this power of meaning shapes our mindset and thought process. Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu said it beautifully “If you correct your mind, your whole life will be perfect.
"If you correct your thinking your life will get back on track. One famous line you may have heard: Eye surgery is possible but the way you look is hard to do. Eye surgery is easy but the way you look at things is possible you can change with the tool." Can change slowly and steadily! We can train ourselves to look at the positive side of things. There are 2 takeaways. First: Do not generalize! This does not mean that if something bad happens your whole life is useless, everything is going wrong. Once a small incident happens; A small incident happens to us. We had a small setback and we turned it into a big problem. Something like, "My whole life will be like this." And since we made this statement, we would also reluctantly do so. This is what psychologists call self-satisfaction prophecy. Self-fulfillment prophecy means that someone “guesses” or expects something and that this “prediction” or expectation comes true only because they believe it will happen. And their resulting behaviors align to accommodate those beliefs.
Do not generalize! If one day something goes wrong and the boss gets angry at you, it does not mean that the boss does not like you. If you do not perform well in a quarter, you are not a good performer. Just because you can’t pass the exam or you can’t pass the exam doesn’t mean you are not eligible to pass the specific exam. Don’t let the backlash define you! Do not define an obstacle, a problem, or your whole approach to life. And on the second complaint.
Many times we have heard that complaining is very common nowadays and an MRI scan shows that if we always find negative things everywhere and complain every time then our brain cells get reconnected and look at negative things everywhere. We can change that by becoming more conscious and more aware. Catch yourself in the process whenever you come across a new situation and your mind by default tries to find negative things. At that time develop the awareness that my thoughts are going in a negative direction. Take a deep breath in and you can redirect your thinking because you're spending your energy complaining. If you use that energy in the right way; Inaction or find a solution, you can take something good out of that situation.
