Success comes when you learn how to master your mind. You must master your mind and control your thoughts in order to overcome that little voice inside of your head that constantly tells you that you can't and won't reach your goals. It doesn't matter if you want to be a business owner or an employee, if you want to improve yourself and be the absolute best you can be, then you must learn to control the thoughts that come into your head. In his famous book, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill spoke of controlling your thoughts because thoughts are "things" as he described them. That would imply that your thoughts have some kind of energy that you need to pay attention to because if you don't then by default you allow someone or something else to influence your thoughts because you won't do it. If you doubt that thoughts have some kind of power, test the theory. Allow your mind to wander willy nilly from subject to subject for a few moments and then catch yourself and monitor your thoughts. If you are thinking all kinds of negative thoughts, like you can't pay your bills or you're going to lose your job or your boss doesn't like you then make a conscious decision to change what you are thinking by changing what thoughts you allow to come through your mind. As you monitor your thoughts, pay attention to what you do think about and how it makes you feel. This all ties in to controlling your thoughts and mastering your mind.
When you have practiced this for some time and you find yourself controlling your thoughts and mastering your mind then your success will come master faster and much easier.
