How does your mindset affect your financial success?

View all responses

First off, mindset simply affects success of any kind or anything for that matter.  One is free to confine that to whatever it is that drives one.  At least for this moment.  While the page refreshes.

Success? 

Born of the Latin word from 1530, successus meaning “an advance” or “a good result”.  This is actually the noun form of the past participle of succedere, which means “to come close after,” or simply “follow after.”

That being said, mindset is literally the precursor to virtually anything to come close, follow after or offer a good result. What goes on between the ears until such a time determines how the heart, body and soul will accomplish what lay there that moment.  

This calls to mind the set truth regarding the existence of opportunity that lay hidden in all adversity, a challenge born of many origins, forms and durations.  Assuming that this be the case, there is always something good to come of these instances, provided the proper mindset embraces it. 

So back to the initial conundrum posed for today.  

I suggest that setting your mind towards such a narrowly focused end may yield only a portion of what had been sought.  

I am of the mind that when I have been able to honestly set myself to pursue that which is affirming, that which is aligned with genuine purpose and that which was hinted at by one guided by boundless love for my well-being and growth, then a good result will follow.  

Spem successus alit.  

A good result which nourishes hope, in addition to  yielding  other forms of reward and recognition.  Not sure.  

To me, those would simply be add-ons to what it was my mind was set to accomplish.  A bonus.   

Great.  

But to be who I was meant to become?

That, my friends,  is successus maximus. 

Beyond hope.
