7 Mindsets for Success, Happiness and Fulfilment

by Swami Mukundananda

To improve our attitudes, we require: 1) Knowledge of the sentiments, emotions and feelings that help or harm us. 2) The ability to react positively to the circumstances in our life, the people we interact with and the work we do. 3) To make the desirable attitudes a second nature to us, so they arise subconsciously, without effort.

The attitudes we harbour habitually within ourselves become our mindsets. They are our customary ways of thinking, which have become an integral part of our personality. They can be compared to physical habits we create by repeating physical behaviours again and again until they begin to happen automatically. Similarly, mindsets are mental habits we establish internally, by practising particular attitudes repeatedly, until they come naturally to us. These mindsets can either work in our favour by flooding our consciousness with positivity or against us by plunging our mind into negativity.
