In order to be successful in the long run, you should remain true to yourself. Only if you are authentic will you be perceived and appreciated as the person you really are! Do not bend to meet the needs and expectations of others. Masks fall short or long and make you unbelievable. Being authentic simply means being oneself and requires a clear picture of oneself, including our weaknesses and strengths, to which we can fully subscribe. Especially in today's world, which is full of perfection, show and facades, people are increasingly looking for the real and the original. But being authentic is not only about dressing and presenting yourself in your own style, it is also about your own values. Always act as you can and remain true to your values and principles. Do not sell yourself to be successful, because this only works in the short term, but never in the long term. Apart from that, others will perceive you much more positively and sympathetically if you remain human and keep as little behind with your weaknesses and mistakes as with your strengths and abilities. Stay with yourself and don't try to fulfil any expectations or even affectionately any roles that you are not at all. This only robs you of valuable energy, because it is very strenuous to play a role. But that is not necessary! You are just as right as you are! Stand by yourself because you are perfect in your imperfection. You should also keep in mind that being authentic does not always mean staying the same, because we too are constantly evolving and changing. To be authentic means much more to remain true to oneself, one's personality and principles and to be able to stand absolutely behind one's actions. Stay authentic and on the carpet when you succeed and realize that you become mentally stronger and stronger when you accept and love yourself as you are. You no longer derive your self-esteem from the recognition of others, but from your own strengths and your own personality and thus strengthen your independence from the opinions of others. Even criticism can then no longer harm you, because you can react constructively to criticism with a strong self-confidence and a pronounced authenticity, also on your part, without grasping it personally. Say goodbye to the idea of having to please everyone, and first and foremost make yourself right by finally accepting and acknowledging yourself as you are with all your positive and negative sides, with all your strengths and your shortcomings, because that is you and you are wonderful just as you are! This makes you unique and valuable, because nobody is like you. Enrich the world with your uniqueness and don't try to rank yourself in a multitude of copies and play the role you are expected to play. Whoever manages to free himself and simply be himself and live it feels like a great burden and a lot of head cinema falls away from him. How free and with how much joy you can live if you don't have to worry about what others think about you all the time. Stay true to yourself and make yourself happy and be surprised how many people like you exactly as you are.
45. Step to boost your mindset for success: Show strength and recognize your limits
No one can do everything. Therefore, use your skills and competences to achieve your goal, but do not hesitate to seek expert advice where your knowledge and competence are not sufficient. This is the fastest way to reach your destination! Even if you prefer to manage everything on your own and have very high demands on yourself, take help and fall back on the expertise of other people, especially if you are not yet sufficiently familiar with these areas. Use the know-how of experts and shorten your path to success, because it shows true greatness when you know your own limits and can also admit your shortcomings. Do not recklessly jeopardise your success out of false pride. They don't have to do everything and always be strong. You also can't always have a solution to all the problems that arise. For this reason, you should shorten your journey by taking the necessary help where you need it. Show strength by clearly accepting your weaknesses and realize that we are human beings by nature, social beings, and it is not in our nature to fight through ourselves. Moreover, every successful person has his team or his circle of friends who intercept what you are not so good at. This gives you the opportunity to focus on what you do best, while others can benefit from doing the part they do well. So if you concentrate on your strengths and competences and give away what you don't like or where you lack the knowledge, you will reach your goal quickly and directly. Become aware of your strengths and abilities and strengthen them. Your skills prepare you for difficult situations and increase your self-confidence. This makes it easier for you to maintain your motivation and achieve your goal without getting out of hand if something does not work as it should, and to get help here and there.
46. Step to boost your mindset for success: Listen to your gut instinct
When it comes to difficult decisions that are difficult for you, you can rely on your gut feeling. Your intuition tells you reliably what we often do not understand with our heads. So if a decision feels good, you can rely on it to be right. But if your gut warns you and you have a queasy feeling, then you better not touch it. The more complex and opaque a decision is, the more well advised you are to trust your gut feeling and listen to your subconscious. Why? Have you certainly experienced that your gut feeling warned you and thus saved you from a dangerous situation, or have you done something against your logical thinking, because your gut feeling told you to do it and you were happy with it? Our consciousness consciously perceives only a fraction of our sensory impressions, the rest ends up in our subconscious, which simply stores everything and thus preserves an immeasurable treasure of experiences and impressions. The early warning system of our gut feeling is therefore particularly helpful for decisions that do not leave much time. It always points us in the right direction, because our intuition reacts much faster than our conscious thinking. Of course a good goal planning requires a lot of conscious and analytical thinking, but you should always trust at least as much in your inner voice and only do what feels good and right for you, then you are always on the safe side. Also, always try to focus your planning on efficiency. Only if your working time is worthwhile for you and you manage as easily as possible what you want to achieve, will you be satisfied and successful in the long term in your work or in achieving your goals. Also consider your investments, because they should all bring you a high value for your future. Invest in your future and plan your approach wisely and carefully, then you will have enough strength to achieve your goals quickly and be successful. The most important investment is the investment in yourself, because you are the most valuable thing you have. What you once know and have learned, no one can take away from you. And only if you are doing well are you able to reach your full potential. That's why you should always invest in yourself first!
47. Step to boost your mindset for success: Design your life with enthusiasm
People who have a positive charisma are more successful than others. Make sure that every day you devote yourself to activities or topics that inspire you and give you pleasure. If you can be happy every day and have something to laugh about, you can be appealing and attractive to others and master your everyday life with its sometimes unattractive or boring activities and challenges much easier. What is there in your life that triggers passion and enthusiasm in you? What has been your whole life, like an invisible thread running through your life, because it has always interested and gripped you? What is it worth to you to fight for it? What do you prefer to do? What are your main interests? What gives you pleasure and is easy to handle? Which topics fascinate you with skin and hair? Anyone who does something with passion and enthusiasm sprays with energy and performance, because the engine of passion spurs us on to top performance. For this reason, it is very important that you at best align your goals with your passions, or at least allow sufficient space and time for dealing with your passions in your everyday life. If you live your life with enthusiasm and joy, you will automatically be happy and in a good mood most of the time and even boring or uninteresting activities will be much easier for you. The one who cannot live passions in his life vegetates more than he lives and will not feel filled and happy. It is precisely these situations or moments in which, full of enthusiasm and joy, we are completely absorbed in one thing and are simply happy to be here and to devote ourselves to the things that inspire and fulfil us. Who loves what he does, has a maximum of motivation and performance and can only be successful. Our passions show us very clearly what our life's mission is, so do not hesitate any longer and align your life to what makes you happy and above all alive and where you can make full use of your abilities and strengths.
