I attended the primer course for BOLD, a Keller Williams training course. I returned home completely excited and focused on the conditioning of my mind.
One of the emphases was on a statement, "90% of business is a mindset." This statement reminded me of a Charles Swindoll thought which is a variation of this concept. Swindoll said, "Life is made up of events of which one has no control and this amounts to about 10% of one's life. 90% of one's life is made up of one's response to these events."
I have decided to commit to this training event because so much of what is being stressed resonates with my life credo. I am being challenged to train my mind so that it helps me live a life of blessing and encouragement.
One of the nuggets shared which I will focus on for the next several weeks is the importance of accepting responsibility for one's life. This was on the focus of two mindsets. One mindset is that of blaming others for one's life experiences. It is always someone else's fault. The second focus of this thought process is to justify one's actions. There is always a reason for failure or mistakes that justify these actions. The third piece of this mindset is to habitually complain about life. I realized I am far to guilty of allowing myself to sink to the blaming, justifying and complaining game.
I came away resolved to accept responsibility for my life and my actions. I will not justify mistakes, but rather accept responsibility and work to correct those mistakes. I will seek to offer words of encouragement and refrain from complaining to others about my frustrations. I will be a responsible, positive and encouraging person. This is who I want to be.
Who are you and who do you want to be?
