title: Mindset is Everything
description: Mindsets plays a significant role in our personal development, success, and well-being. Mindset influences behavior and decision-making. And, when your mindset gets distorted by culture and disappointing life experiences you can find yourself in a slump called… regret… wishing that you could turn back the hands of time and re-write history. Being in a slump too long is tormenting, creating depression, and ultimately wreaking havoc on your self-worth and self-esteem.

Mindsets plays a significant role in our personal development, success, and well-being. Mindset influences behavior and decision-making. And, when your mindset gets distorted by culture and disappointing life experiences you can find yourself in a slump called… regret… wishing that you could turn back the hands of time and re-write history. Being in a slump too long is tormenting, creating depression, and ultimately wreaking havoc on your self-worth and self-esteem.

*Proverbs 23:7 as he {or she} thinks in his heart… so is he!** *

Mindsets plays a significant role in our personal development, success, and well-being. Mindset influences behavior and decision-making. And, when your mindset gets distorted by culture and disappointing life experiences you can find yourself in a slump called… regret… wishing that you could turn back the hands of time and re-write history. Being in a slump too long is tormenting, creating depression, and ultimately wreaking havoc on your self-worth and self-esteem.

So, I want to caution you to avoid destructive thinking patterns. Steer clear of what is called a “victim’s mentality” …thinking that you are trapped or stuck with no way out.   A victim’s mindset convinces you that there is nothing you can do. Consequently, victims do not seek change because they feel powerless and hopeless.

But!... note what God says about you… *For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, **to give you a future and hope** *(Jeremiah 29:11)

So, if there is an area of your life that you want to change, start with how you think about it… *Romans 12:2 “we are transformed by the renewing our mind…” *ask yourself, what destructive thought patterns caused this area of your life to be in trouble?  

Examine your thoughts. Seek out ways to feed your mind “transformation-specific” knowledge such as leadership training [www.globalleadership.org](http://www.globalleadership.org/) , personal development books (*‘Emotionally Healthy Spirituality’ by Peter Scazzero*) and of course the tried-and-true Word of God!  

Remember, you are in total control of your mindset!

- Find purpose in your pain!
- Use regrets to fuel growth!
- Never give up on becoming your best self!

In conclusion… mindset really is EVERYTHING!
