From Victoria Colligan, Founder, Ladies Who Launch
In Napoleon Hill’s book Think and Grow Rich,
he discusses the importance of “A mind closed tightly against all the
negative and discouraging influences, including negative suggestions of
relatives, friends and acquaintances” as an indispensable habit of
persistence that all successful people cultivate. In light of our
changed economy and the potential for surrounding ourselves with “doom
and gloom”, I thought it an appropriate reminder that we must safeguard
ourselves against a damaging mindset. What’s more, our chances increase
when there is a collective of positive vibration attracting
opportunities. As individuals we can do our part by staying out of
toxic environments, which could be as simple as turning off the news or
not engaging in conversations filled with complaining and negative
language. On a deep level, if you value your contribution to the world,
your business and your ideas, others will value them too and your
success will emerge regardless of what’s happening around you. But
first, you must get control of your mind and either stay away from the
people and things that push your buttons OR resign to shift your energy
to the positive no matter how tempting the negative may be.
