A Broke Mind Is A Defeated Mind

When your mind no longer works your body is useless. A broke mind is a defeated mind. When you only think short-term don’t expect great results. Whether you are an optimist or a pessimist, you have to plan your future. Don’t leave your future in someone else’s hands. Learn, become, and take action for yourself. Many people struggle with bettering themselves because as I once heard someone put it “yourself will deteriorate without  continually seeking to be better”, which is why you need to always be bettering yourself.

I came across this video on YouTube today and thought I got write a post to this. What MrCashAtHandTV talks about in his video is true and critically relevant to the idea of bettering yourself. You must remain motivated and understand that this is not a sprint, but a marathon. One of the best motivators is to know your “why“. Why do I want a business or to become financially free? This question of why you want to do something must be answered first and revisited many times. A blog site I frequent called AffordAnything.com wrote about this.

The second thing you can do is to surround yourself with like-minded people, which may also mean disassociating yourself with others. You want to have people who are already “there” or are trying to get “there”. “There” being the goal you would like to achieve. Last, but certainly not least is the most important thing and is something I do for every goal in my life. I pray and I ask God for wisdom and direction because without him I’m lost. Who can know how to get to their destination if they are lost?

Everyone needs a roadmap and you are not different. So before you set sail, plan out the major milestones you need to achieve before you can win the rest. Don’t worry so much about all the details at this point if you are just getting started. The number one thing to focus on is making progress. I can’t stress that enough. If you seek perfection to soon you will never get there. Facebook wasn’t perfect before it became Facebook. Heck, Facebook still isn’t perfect and neither is Microsoft Windows. Apples Macbook Pro however might be…(Just kidding).

Here are  some  simple action items you can take to make your dream a reality:

1. Ask God for wisdom and direction for your goal(s).
2. Understand WHY you want to achieve your goal.
3. Set a destination of what the end result will be by achieving that goal.
4. Create milestones for how you will achieve your goal.
5. Surround yourself with people who are like-minded.

I hope this video and blog post helps you to find your dreams, goals, and aspirations.
