Mindset Management - Winners Understand the Power of Perception - Do You?
Would you like to discover why the intellectual factor of perception is critical to success?
Successful people in all walks of life understand how important perception is in everything they do. People who consistently fail never seem to realize that the way they perceive the world around them has a significant impact on their lives. What they think about, what they feel and ultimately the actions they take or do not take are based on perception. Are you someone who is optimistic and sees the glass half full or someone who is pessimistic and always seems to find fault with everything around you?
What Is Perception?
Perception is one of our intellectual factors that govern how we view the world. Based on our perception of the world around us can we make decisions about where we want to go and who we want to be. Doesn't it seem logical that if the perception is the beginning of thought formulation than it deserves some attention?
How can I use the intellectual factor of perception?
You were born perfect. Your intellectual factor of perception when you were a baby was incredible. You used your five senses: sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch to observe the world around you. As you matured you started to form beliefs that shaped your perceptions. For example, if a child went to the gas station with his father and noticed the price of gas was five dollars a gallon he would see this information, but not have a special belief associated with it. The father on the other hand might view this price of gas as a serious problem. Based on the father's frame of reference he might perceive that the price of gas directly relates to his disposable income. Is it a fact or is this a belief that the price of gas is a major contributor to someone's disposable income?
Another way to perceive the same situation is that the price of gas has gone up and therefore costs have gone up. Therefore I better get more creative to serve more people so I can earn more money to have an even better lifestyle.
Another interpretation might be gee the price of gas is going up maybe I should buy a call option on crude oil. You can either respond or react to the world around you. A response implies the act of thinking and looking for the good in the situation while simply reaction implies no thinking and often complaining.
How Do You Perceive Life?
Are you one of those individuals who always seems to find the positive side of any situation? Do you look for the good in people or do you pick apart all of their faults? Are you essentially a happy person or are you generally depressed? Perhaps somewhere in between? Do you think there is room for improvement to be happier and more in control of your emotions? All of these questions have one thing in common - your perceptions cloud everything around you.
Make up your mind to change the way you perceive things for a happier and healthier life.
I believe you're reading this article because you really do want to be happier, healthier, and wealthier. These are the basic factors that we can consider in terms of getting really great results in life. If this is you, and if you are serious, I challenge you to become hyperaware of how you perceive everything around you. Stop complaining to people and to yourself when things do not go well. Have the strength to be able to keep a positive mental attitude during difficult times and look for the good in a bad situation. Ask yourself what is the alternative? If you have a bad situation on your hands and you look for what's bad about the situation how can this lead to any good? Unless you're one of those strange people who enjoy wallowing in misery this is not a recipe for a successful life.
The intellectual factor of perception is a very important ingredient to building awareness and knowledge. Successful people understand this and choose to be very cognizant of how they perceive things. I encourage you to be optimistic and to realize that there are many ways to look at a situation. What looks to you to be an obvious solution from another angle might appear completely different. Focus at looking at issues from multiple vantage points and I guarantee you'll get better results.

Motivational Tips for the Morning
Good Morning - Motivation in the Morning! - Get up and get going this morning because success is not free and it takes some work. Shake off the sleep, get some coffee, tea, or juice, and read this carefully.
Quote of the Day - "Success woke me up, Motivation made me breakfast, Destiny gave me my agenda and the Lord gave me his blessings." - Unknown
Motivation in the morning isn't easy, at least it isn't easy for me. When I first get up my mind is all over the place and the last thing I want to hear is something positive.
Honestly, the first thing I want in the morning is a toilet. The second thing I want is a cup of coffee. The third thing I want is another cup of coffee. After about two cups of coffee, I am ready to adjust my attitude. My suggestion is don't talk to me until I have finished the first cup of coffee. Even then you better talk slow and low.
Unknown Quote: Every morning I long to hold you, I need you, I want you, I love your warmth... your smell, your taste... Ohhh coffee I love you. Good Morning!
I wish I could claim the quote above but I can't. However, I can sure identify with the person who did say the quote. Is caffeine an addiction? Of course, it is but I can live with this addiction.
After the coffee has done its job I am ready to start my motivation in the morning. Ok, let's get this show on the road. I am a winner. I can accomplish my goals and leap tall buildings in a single bound. I am super Bob on a mission to change the world.
Seriously, I need morning motivation and I need to stay motivated all day long. The way I accomplish is goal is through telling myself the truth, positive declarations, and scripture meditation. I use all three of these techniques to get my attitude right.
If something negative pops into my mind I review the thought to make sure it is true. If I begin to tell myself I can't accomplish my goals I quickly rearrange the thought into something positive. I can accomplish my goals. I have accomplished my goals in the past and I can do it today.
If I tell myself something negative about myself I can also claim the truth by declaring that I am an awesome spiritual being made in the image of God.
I can't just let my thoughts stay negative. I have to listen to what I tell myself. I have to argue against the lies and replace them with the truth.
If I do this on a repetitive basis I will have a great day.
Ok, let's get this day started and God bless you.
