How do highly successful people get so much done and exude an aura of greatness? It all starts with what’s going on in your head.
You’ve heard the old saying… “Garbage in, garbage out”. That means that whatever you put into your body or your mind is exactly what will be forming your thoughts and actions, and molding your mind and your body. If you eat nothing but junk then your body will become unhealthy and give you poor performance. If you listen to negative input, then you will have a negative outlook. The opposite also holds true: If your input is positive and encouraging then you will have an optimistic, can-do attitude. What you feed your mind will just keep replaying over and over and it will determine your personality and your attitude.
So, how do I get the garbage out of my head that’s been filling it for years? You change the type of input you give your mind. A great way to do this is to read or listen to certain books. You can learn so much and change your entire outlook and ultimately who you are.
I will share with you a list of books that I was recommended to read. I have not personally read or listened to all of these yet… but I have started and my goal is to go through each one and get my brain geared toward success.
