Living With Intention - Manifest Your Success in 2021
It’s not news to anyone that 2020 was an intense year. Intense being a colossal understatement. It was a year of loss, brokenness, unrest, illness and worldwide chaos. A pandemic, political turmoil, a human rights movement, and so much more. Well, 2020 came and went. And while we could put a horrible time to rest, we couldn’t fully leave behind all of the big issues. So much of it has and will continue.
We are all suffering from pandemic fatigue, as I like to call it. Tired of being isolated, restricted, separated, vulnerable and uneasy. We are all trying to settle into the “new normal” in a million different senses of the word, and it is hard work. There is so much uncertainty and it is an easy time to feel out of control. And it’s true, we can’t control what is. But we CAN control the way we think, and there is so much power in that. Regardless of what is going on around you or what you think is standing in your way, your destiny is in YOUR hands. And it’s as simple as controlling your thoughts, grabbing a hold of your mindset, and believing in yourself.
You’ve heard it before, but I’ll tell you again…you are what you think.
Humans have around 6,200 thoughts per day. Read that again. That is 6,200 opportunities to be positive, to be determined, and to be empowered. Your thoughts are your most powerful tool, and truly, what can make or break your success and happiness. What you think becomes who you are and what you can achieve. Instead of worrying, doubting, questioning or hoping, try framing your thoughts in a way that doesn’t allow for anything other than success…
Wake up in the morning with the knowing that today WILL be a good day.
Think about yourself in a positive way. I am strong, beautiful, successful, and a force to be reckoned with. I am unstoppable.
Think of others in a kind way, even when it’s hard. Everyone around me is on their own path and facing their own struggles and successes that I know nothing about.
And think THIS, on repeat: This is my day, my month, my year and my life. I can, and I will.
Our powerful thoughts all come together to shape our mindset. If your thoughts are positive, naturally, your mindset will be so as well. With a positive mindset you are capable of anything in the world. If you want success, freedom and happiness in what you’re doing, it starts within you. You have to manifest your destiny.
It is easier to take risks, make big changes and jump into your hopes and dreams head first when you have the mindset that you cannot fail.
Set your sights high and then aim higher. If you can dream it, you can do it.
Know that it’s already yours. Whatever it is that you are striving to achieve, have the mindset that it’s already yours for the taking.
Choose statements over questions. It’s not a matter of IF you can, it’s a matter of when and how.
And finally, believe in yourself.
The most incredible and successful people in both business and life did not get there with self-doubt. They had goals, ideas and dreams and they believed in themselves enough to make them a reality. And you can, too. It’s not always easy, but it’s always possible. Believe in your wisdom. Believe in your strength. Believe in YOU. It all begins and ends there.
2020 swiftly turned into 2021 and so many of the challenges were carried over. This is true. This year is not wiped clean of hard or messy, but as Glennon Doyle so wisely said, “We can do hard things.” This is a year of regrowth and rebuilding; in our world, but more importantly, within you. Look inward, grab a hold of your thoughts, set your intentions, refresh your mindset and believe in yourself.
You’ve got this.
