THE POWER OF MINDSET

Mindset plays a vital role in everyone's life, it is one of the propelling forces that influences our decision making towards an individual, organization and a particular situation. Mindset can make or mar us if not carefully scrutinized. Your thoughts are as good as mine on how powerful mindset about a thing, place or person can be.

Let us look at it from the perspective of giving, whether monetary or in-kind, you cannot do more than your valuation to somebody. For instance, if you think I would misuse 1million dollars if given, then the probability of not getting it from you is very high. That is simply how you see me. In other words, the quality and weight of your gesture towards a person is a function of your mindset or mentality about that person.

Mindset plays a vital role in your relationship with others, whether with opposite sex or same. The reliability and quality of your relationship with others is directly proportional to your mindset about them. When you feel your friend is a thief even though you have not verified it, everything he or she does will look like an attempt to steal something from you.

A negative mindset about someone often leads to wrong accusation because everything that person does is completely wrong in your eyes and you may surprisingly see yourself ascribing negative things to that person. That is, negative mindset blindfolds our eyes from seeing or searching for the truth about an incidence or a person. This does not help in either way because if you accuse someone wrongly, you may be charged for character defamatiom—of course a big legal battle.

Your productivity and effectiveness in an organization is somewhat proportional to your mindset about that organization. Take for instance, as an employee, if you have concluded in your mind that you can't progress your place of work, you may feel reluctant to give your best and your full attention can never be in that place leading to low input and output.

Your mindset about the environment you live determines your flow in that place. Once you believe you can't get it right in a particular place, you will hardly achieve your goals there. Also, when you see everyone around you as bad person, then you will find it difficult to relate with them and this can mentally or emotionally effect you. You will just feel hated by everyone but not really because it is you that do not see anything good from others.

It is very important to scrutinized our thoughts towards another person, place or things and find out the truth about what we heard before we draw conclusion
