Your level of success is determined by the quality of your thoughts.

Here’re my 7 favourite ideas on building a strong mindset from James Clear 👇🧵

Most people spend their lives growing on poor foundations.

But if you want to do something truly great,

The journey begins in your mind.

These attitudes will help.

“Aim to be great in 10 years.”

Society has normalised immediate gratification.

Long-term thinking is rare.

Here’s the truth:

There’s little you can’t accomplish with an increased time frame.

Compounding is powerful.

So, set a 10-year plan.

Then take it a day at a time.

“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.”

People talk too much and act too little.

But results come with effort; what you put in you get out.

It boils down to this:

How bad do you want it?

If you're serious, spare time becomes THE time.

“The task of building a good habit is like cultivating a delicate flower one day at a time.”

Can you relate?

You go to learn and get overwhelmed.

See, every skill has multiple levels. Diving in is not effective.

Focus on the fundamentals.

Let your passion grow as you do.

“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”

There’s a long period between goal setting and achieving.

= The dip

The monkey mind starts. Systems shut it down.

You do the work you set out to do.

Because it gets the results you want.

"We're so focused on figuring out the best approach that we never get around to taking action."

Plans are procrastination in disguise.

The truth:

No plan survives first contact with the enemy.

You're avoiding what scares you.

So challenge yourself outside the comfort zone.

“The person who learns the most in any classroom is the teacher.”

Feynman once said,

“If you want to master something, teach it”

Why?

Because you don’t know how little you know until you explain it.

Don't hoard your knowledge.

Share it, add value, and learn.

“The more control you have over your attention, the more control you have over your future.”

Attention is not infinite.

& the quality of inputs determines the output.

Trust me.

Turn off the TV,

Delete IG.

Ignore negativity.

See how much better you think.
