Mindset

Hi guys, welcome back to today's episode on Mindset, so good to have you around.

 I was in a conversation with a dear friend and we were discussing this particular mobile app that offers free services, he made the point that; he does not trust the mobile app because how exactly are they generating their gains? 

He also established that as time goes on they will start placing charges in the app bit by bit. And of course, he gave examples of several mobile apps that have done something similar in the past years and ended up charging more. Then he made a statement; "This is Nigeria". 

And just on that spot, I knew that was the perfect example I needed to explain this episode. 

Your mindset doesn't always grow on a literal basis 80% of time, they grow coincidentally. This mindset this friend of mine has towards free things In Nigeria didn't just grow because he has seen something like that played out the opposite alone, it grew because there have been many experiences of things not working in a country like Nigeria.

  What am I saying in essence, is that your struggle to get to the ATM to withdraw some cash will not only establish in you that withdrawing cash is difficult alone, it tends to establish in you that nothing is easy in this life, so you can start picturing a whole life from just that single specific experience. This in turn alters your perspective of seeing things. This is why the same action can mean different things to different people. 

See you in the next episode............

Mindset

 

Mindset grows, given time, circumstance, and different factors. Those things you know are products of what you grew up learning, formed from both the good, bad, right, wrong, and unruly. You might have grown to some morals and lifestyle you got engaged with based on exposure, your mindset has the following characteristics

Were formed during your earliest stage of development in life (your first 8-10years).

You didn't bring any from heaven but they were formed through your experiences and your exposures.

The tiniest thing as being deprived of something communicates deficiencies and forms certain mindsets.

Mindsets are not just formed from good experiences, they form from both the good, bad, favorable, positive, and negative experiences.

Major parts of the mindsets you grew up with were formed without your awareness, these explain how you know certain things you cannot trace their root.

You grew to become the template shown to you through various mindsets that have been built in you.

Most times, the mindset you grew up with is not always appropriate.

Mindset can be changed if you give it time and your intentionality.

Now what is the wrong mindset one could have possibly grown to that looks right but are wrong, I will highlight that in my next post, see you soon...
