Ideas were coming fast and furious this morning, so I sat down at my computer and started typing. I'm a great typist, so I can close my eyes and let my imagination work while getting my thoughts on paper, freeing my left brain from my natural "editor mode."
Today, what I created looked like this:
Ehst eiykf hsoorn ug you ernt to thr dtitr ti grt s kisg ig btrsf
What? That is NOT what I wanted to say! Of course, by that time, my stream of consciousness was gone, and I lost the thought that was going to change the world. :-)
What I realized is that my fingers know the moves, but if they are in the wrong position at the start, the moves don't matter. I will not get the result I want.
The same holds true in life and business. Here are a few examples:
- You may have a knack for talking with people, but if you go to a networking event with a me-me-me mindset, you won't build the relationships you need to build your business.
- You may want to resolve a conflict with someone, but if you start with a need-to-be-right attitude, they won't be able to hear your apology, even if you say all the right words.
- You may have all the qualifications in the world, but if you don't believe in your value and worth, the job will go to someone else, even if their qualifications aren't as strong as yours.
Do you see? Your mindset, attitude and beliefs define where you begin, just as the little "bump" on the F and J keys define where your fingers are supposed to begin on the keyboard. If your mindset is generous and giving, your attitude is positive and your beliefs are empowering, there will be no stopping you.
