Mindset

everythg begins w TARBIYYAH

When we talk about mindset, (I speak of experience in this) we are actually really talking about how our
mind thinks and works. My mindset? Well, at the moment, I do realize and am fully aware that my mindset is like that of a child. Why? Well, reasons I wish not to share.

But, that's not what I'm trying to focus here.
What I'm trying to focus here is that mindset is the key to everything. Like, for example, I've a friend who think she's not clever (I prefer to use this word rather than to use her exact words in this) at all, thus forcing her to choose a path that I see not quite worth it for her. Why? Because she's actually quite intelligent and quite hard-working in her studies.
Erm. I don't think I'm telling you the point in this, but that's how it is with our mindset. When we think we can't do it, then our body reacts to that cognitive behaviour of ours. Our body responds to what our brain or mind thinks. That is why it is very important that we keep our mind positive every single day.

You know how this is quite an irony?
I am talking about how important it is to keep a positive mindset always, but I am one who's always thinking negatively. Then again, the reason I'm typing this out is to just actually remind myself that I, too, need to change my mindset.

At the moment, I'm just trying to convince myself to change myself to be better. I fail at times, but that don't matter. My coach said : You can fail, but fail better.
So, I try. I've made countless attempts in changing, but I still fail. Maybe he's right. Maybe I am too lax in progress.

Hm. The power of mindset. I remember a quote my lecturer told us in one of our lectures for psychology class : Mindset is the first element that needs changing before you can start changing your life.
And to be honest, that's true.

So, Mar. What's there to it? Life's too short to be stressing out and not having fun! Have fun, do dakwah, and smile! :)
