What is a success mindset?
It is the perspective that you can do, be or have anything you desire. You know that somewhere out there you can learn it, you can ask for help, and you can find solutions to anything you focus your attention on. You believe that because you are desiring it, it must be possible or if someone else is doing it then so can you.
Lack mentality is the perspective that you can't have, be or do anything you desire. It's too hard to do, no one understands you so how could they help you, you can't be anything you want to because you have to conform to the opinions of others around you or you don't have the same opportunities that they have. There's always a reason why there's an obstacle or an excuse as to why it can't be true for you.
The difference between these two perspectives is your choice. There will always be obstacles and challenges. You get to choose how you see the world and act accordingly.
If you decide you can overcome those challenges, you will. Fear is a part of our human experience and helps us decide whether we are going to survive.
When there is a true threat to our lives, fear is a natural feeling signaling to us that our life is on the line. In this case, fear can assist in the focus of the task of staying alive.
Perceived threat is just a fear of the unknown. We perceive that our life is being threatened, when really the situation is just stretching us beyond what we know to be safe. We are stepping outside of our comfort zones and into a new territory where we perceive there is no love. (If I step on this stage, will I be humiliated or supported in front of all these people?) This perceived threat can hold us back from accomplishing goals, living happy lives, and just being ourselves.
Thriving, rather than surviving, is acknowledging the fear and overriding it, in order to have the new experience. Deciding that staying in the safety of the known is no longer what you desire and consciously stepping forward through the fear into the unknown. Letting yourself trust, through faith and intuition, that the unknown is going to bring you closer to what you desire. This is what it means to live in your highest potential- the courage to step forward into the unknown and create the life you want to live.
