James Malinchak's Always And Forever Believe in Yourself Part 2 of 3

By Troy Dickson


Train Your Mind

"Whether you think you can or think you can't - you're right." -Henry Ford

Nothing can be achieved unless you first believe it. Train your mind to believe that you WILL realize your dreams. Your brain is a muscle. Like any other muscle in your body, it should be exercised in order for it to grow, become stronger, and increase its performance. The best way to accomplish this is through proper exercise of your muscle (brain).

The most effective way to train your brain is to do puzzles, read, listen to audio trainings, learn a new language, go to an art museum's, go to Broadway shows, listen to different kinds of musics, and more. Each one of these training tools is a way to increase your brain power to assimilate new information and form associations with other older information. Other tools are learning memorization, speed reading, writing things down, as well as talking with an accent.

I'm sure that most of you have heard of Bill Gates. If you have not then you probably have at least used computer software designed by his company, Microsoft. Bill Gates is as the richest man in America with an estimated net worth of $18 billion. (That is right, billion!) In a recent interview, Bill was asked how he is able to develop unique ideas and concepts that continuously put Microsoft ahead of all other computer software companies. His answer was startling but simple.

Bill told a story of his childhood. He said that one day his mother couldn't find him anywhere in the house. Finally, she opened the closet door and found him sitting there in the dark closet. When his mom asked him why he was sitting in a dark closet, he replied, "I'm thinking." Bill went on in the interview to stress how valuable it is to exercise your brain because it responds to repetitive exercise.

"The secret to success is to study. Your brain should be exercised like a muscle - work it well." -Joe Weider, Chairman of the Board, Weider Publications, creator of Muscle & Fitness magazine

There's a quotation that says, "Repetition is the Mother of Skill," meaning that in order for you to improve or increase performance, you need to practice the fundamentals over and over again. Studies have indicated that it takes approximately 21-30 days to create a new habit. This means that if you want to change or create a belief in your mind, it should become a natural habit after working on it for 21-30 days. If you falter one day within those 21-3 days, the habit has to start over the days again! Therefore, it is very valuable to stay focused and to avoid cheating one day as one day will set you back weeks!

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." -Aristotle
