Three Mindsets For a Successful Year

You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind – Joyce Meyer.

Happy New Year!

It’s 2025! A healthy mind is as essential as a healthy body. The mind has created some of the most spectacular things we have seen. From bridges to skyscrapers to the new desire for space travel, what the mind can bring to existence is endless. 

Your mind not only thinks but also speaks. Your mouth is simply the portal through which your mind, a construct of thought patterns, is heard. Your thoughts become your words, so we often start by saying, “I was thinking…” Pastor and author Craig Groeschel observed, “Your life flows in the direction of your strongest thoughts.” Yet, at the beginning of the year, very few say they are resolving to have a healthy mind.

I believe the following three mind settings will contribute to a healthier mind, significantly improve your quality of life, and position you to accomplish your goals: 

Abundant (coming January 16th)

When I first started reading books, I believed that by sharing what I read, I would be losing. I was oblivious that I was creating a scarcity mindset that was hurting me and limiting my value to others. Once I decided to take the risk to share what I read, I noticed my capacity to learn more increased while at the same time helping others become better. 

Renovative (Coming January 23rd)

Through mental complacency, we languish in the mire of stagnancy. But when we engage in mental renovation, we introduce something new instead of operating off old destructive thought patterns. We remove the mental kinks that tether us to the same beliefs, thoughts, and emotional patterns. This prevents us from reaching our intended places. How do we engage in it in mental renovation?

Adaptive (Coming January 30th)

Successful teams know when and how to make necessary adjustments and adapt at appropriate moments to affect a game. In American Football, these are called “audibles.” Most often done by a quarterback is a change to a predetermined plan in response to an opposition’s defensive formation. An adaptive mindset is usually formed in the crucibles of life. 

Your life flows in the direction of your strongest thoughts.

Craig Groeschel

Final thought: If you work on your mindset, you will drastically alter the course of your life for the better. And, when the unexpected happens, or your enthusiasm and momentum begin to wane, the right mindset will give you the fortitude and resilience to stick it out. 

Keep on keeping on!
