Book Description
In "The Winning Mindset" you will delve into your mind to discover how your mindset is your greatest asset in your success, your relationships, your attitude and your perspective. This book is not about a shortcut to success, rather a guide to unlocking your full potential and becoming your full self to achieve what you have always wanted. The only thing holding you back from getting what you want is YOU.The view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life. Believing that your qualities are carved in stone, the fixed mindset, creates an urgency to prove yourself over and over. People in a growth mindset don't just seek challenge, they thrive on it. The growth mindset allows people to love what they're doing and to continue to love it in the face of difficulties. Those with the growth mindset find success in doing their best, learning and improving. And this is exactly the trait we find in champions. Main points: -Don't stop when you're tired, stop when you're done.-When you work for something, you get a different kind of attachment to it. The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.-The biggest battle you will fight is with yourself. It will never go away. You are the only person who can get yourself back up. You are also the only person that can make you lay down or give up.-The person with big dreams is more powerful than the person with all the facts.-Perspective drives performance every day of the week.-People don't burn out because of what they do, people burn out because life makes them forget why they do it.-Never let your actions betray your words. Talk the talk and walk the walk.-Success is getting back up and learning from the falls, the pain and the losses. Try again.-Everything that can take you down is internal. Nothing external can ever bring you down unless you yourself let it.-Once you can change your mindset, you can attack anything. People with a FIXED MINDSET believe talent is everything. If they're not gifted with the ability to do something, they think they're doomed to be a failure. Their skills seem to be written down in their genes, just like their looks, which is why they never try to improve in something they're not good at.In contrast, people with a GROWTH MINDSET believe that whatever they want to achieve is theirs for the taking, as long as they work hard for it, dedicate themselves to their goal and practice as much as they can. Since our mindset has a big influence on our performance, both are worth taking a closer look at.
