Rumi said, "You were born with greatness."

And he was right.

But, sometimes we forget it.

So here are 5 Mindsets of Greatness.

These will help you to operate from a heightened state and stay in your power.

Mindset of Greatness #1: Keep an Open Mind

Keep your mind open to ANY and ALL possibilities. 

No matter what form they come in or how they show up to you, this is crucial to achieving the impossible.

Be open to how things will show up to assist you in your quest. 

It could be as simple as any of the following;

• Hearing a line from a song on the radio to spark a bigger idea

• Having a spontaneous conversation with a stranger in line at a market that gets you to think in a new way

• Hearing a profound comment made by someone on a podcast

• Seeing a sign on the back of a bus when you're struck in traffic that gives you the next step to take

• Or receiving an email that inspires you to keep moving forward when you were getting wobbly

Keeping an open mind is like having a well-tended garden. 

Imagine your mind as the fertile soil, ready to nurture ideas and perspectives. 

Just as a gardener welcomes various seeds, your open mind welcomes diverse thoughts.

Each idea is a seed.

And, as you plant them in the garden of your mind, you provide them with the nourishment of curiosity and acceptance.

Some seeds may sprout into vibrant flowers of knowledge. 

Others might grow into mighty trees of understanding.

Weeds of doubt may occasionally try to take root. 

With an open mind, you become the diligent gardener who plucks them out. 

This ensures that your mental landscape remains vibrant and thriving.

An open mind will allow you to connect the dots between ideas and experiences in new and unexpected ways.

Rigidity is the killer of possibilities.

Open minds are more likely to connect with Infinite Intelligence.

Infinite Intelligence permeates everything.

Being connected to this intelligence will gift you out-of-the-box creative ideas and solutions.

And, seeing opportunities where others cannot.

Mindset of Greatness #2: Keep Your Eyes on The Prize

Always remember the WHAT and the WHY you’re doing what you do.

Keep your eyes on the big vision that calls you forward into your greatness.

Here's how to do that:

Spend 5-10 minutes a day focusing on what it is you want with clarity and why.

(You could even break this into two lots of five minutes of focus, one in the morning and one at night)

Imagine what you want as though it is already done.

Imagine how it will feel when you have already achieved it.

By doing this, you are activating your conscious and subconscious mind to work with you.

When you focus your conscious mind on something repetitively, you are feeding data into your brain that says, "this is our priority, this is what is important, this is what's happening".

This then influences the sub-conscious mind to adjust behaviours and actions according to what's important.

Contrary to the mainstream gurus telling you that it is all about the sub-conscious, that is not entirely true.

We are holistic beings.

As above, so below. As within, so without.

We can be programmed both ways.

You see, the subconscious and conscious mind are both connected to the reticular activating system (RAS).

This part of the brain plays a crucial role in regulating arousal and attention. 

It filters sensory information, and influences wakefulness.

The RAS contributes to the selective attention and filtering of stimuli, helping to prioritize information.

It acts as a kind of gatekeeper, determining what information reaches the conscious awareness.

When your RAS is switched onto an important task, it puts your nervous system into high alert.

It is constantly scanning and processing data from the outside world.

It's job is to look for matching criteria.

Then it will amplify the matches so you cannot miss them.

This is incredibly helpful when it comes to achieving your goals.

For example:

Let's say you become hungry while driving home after visiting a friend.

Your stomach starts growling at you.

You may become aware that there are a lot more food places than you remembered when driving the other direction.

It is as if they all have neon signs and now you can't miss them.

In fact, it’s like food places are all you can see.

That's because your brain has received a signal from your body saying "hungry" and now this is it's priority.

But, if you are hungry and all of a sudden your gas light ignites on your dashboard, your RAS will switch gears by auto-pilot.

Now, you will not be so aware of the restaurants and fast-food, but more aware of the gas stations.

Your RAS has prioritized your need to get gas over getting fed.

In essence, the RAS serves as the bridge between our conscious and subconscious realms, influencing our perceptions and priorities. 

By understanding how it works and how you can program it, you gain a powerful tool to shape your focus and direct your energy.

As a nice bonus, the universal laws that govern creation cannot ignore the focused energy you are embodying...

So, by doing this, you also attract more of the very thing you’re focusing on into your experience and into your life.

This is why you want to focus your eyes on your big vision - *The Prize* - as often as possible.

This keeps your passion high and your focus on the right stuff.

It keeps your eyes on what matters, even when you can't see the end result of your efforts yet.

Then refer to mindset #1 to stay out of your own way ;)

Mindset of Greatness #3: Confront Your Fear Head On

Your journey towards greatness is intricately woven with the stories you tell yourself.

The stories you’ve told yourself and sold yourself on determine your destiny.

Consider the stories you've adopted about what you "can’t do."

They often wear the cloak of fear, looming larger than the actual events they describe.

Think about this for a moment.

How many times have you found yourself in the clutches of fear, only to confront it head-on?

And, in those moments, did you discover that the actual thing you were afraid of—the true adversary—was Fear itself?

That's right, the real event was nowhere near as daunting as the story you created around it.

POWER TIP: When fear knocks on your door, it signals the presence of untapped power.

Behind that fear lies a reservoir of potential waiting for you to unlock it.

Consider fear not as a roadblock but as a compass leading you to uncharted territories of your capabilities.

Summon the courage to face your fears, for within that confrontation lies the key to unlocking dormant power that will skyrocket your results.

Are you ready to embrace your fears and unleash the dormant power that will propel you towards living your dreams?

Mindset of Greatness #4: See Challenges As Opportunities

Challenges aren't roadblocks; they are the very stepping stones that lead to greatness.

Challenges are opportunities masquerading as problems.

They're not problems to dread but opportunities cleverly disguised, awaiting your keen insight.

These tests of your determination are the litmus test that separates the dreamers from the achievers.

When you confront challenges head-on and rise above them, you're not merely overcoming hurdles; you're forging inner strength and resilience that become the foundation for future triumphs.

Think of challenges as the alchemists of your journey, turning moments of difficulty into powerful catalysts for growth. 

The individuals we admire as success stories, those epic human beings celebrated in their fields, share a common thread—they have all triumphed over adversities. 

Challenges, instead of being feared, should be welcomed as companions on the path to success.

When you face pushback or encounter skeptics questioning your ambitions, it's a sign that you're treading the path of the extraordinary.

Challenges should be viewed as a good thing.

They are an indicator that you're aiming high, pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

It's the universe's way of saying, "You're on the right track; keep going!"

If your dreams are not met with challenges, it might be a signal that you're still playing it safe.

You're still playing small.

Challenges are a given if your dream is big and you want to claim the impossible.

Every challenge overcome is a badge of honor, a mark of your courage and tenacity. 

So, the next time you face a hurdle, don't back down; dig deeper. 

Transform those challenges into opportunities, for within them lies the transformative magic that propels you forward on the path to realizing your dreams.

Mindset of Greatness #5: Move With Definiteness of Purpose

Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich said:

"There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it."

When you take inspired action with definite purpose...

When your heart is fixed on what you want...

When commitment is activated at a cellular level...

When you are moving with utter faith and belief in your vision...

There is nothing and no one that will be able to stop you from achieving it.

As Napoleon Hill said:

Moving with Definiteness of Purpose...

Will keep you focused when others become scattered.

Will keep your mind positive when others succumb to negativity.

Will inspire you to transcend your perceived limitations and create a new reality.

When others crumble and stay stuck behind their walls of limiting beliefs.

Moving with definiteness of purpose will help you to manifest the impossible.

Know this:

You weren't created to play small...

You were created for greatness.

I'll leave you with the rest of the powerful words I opened with from the enlightened poet, Rumi:

"You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don’t. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.”

So, what are you waiting for?
