Why You Should Adopt The AA Mindset Many High Achievers Use
The AA mindset is a raw and honest truth that will unlock greatness and confidence in anyone. Here's why...
"It is what a man thinks of himself that really determines his fate." - Henry David Thoreau
Our minds are the most powerful tool humans will ever wield.
How we use it, is the most powerful skill we can learn.
We all know how critical it is to have a good mindset.
That's why Americans pay at least 1.9 billion dollars each year to listen to motivational speakers.
We all want to improve our mindsets because we know it will improve our reality.
That's admirable.
The problem is not our pursuit of bettering our minds.
The problem is that the motivational quotes that fill our minds are doing more damage than good.
There's no point in telling every single person that they're the next Albert Einstein and they are the one percent or that they have to keep pushing to unlock the .001% genius that's within them.
Because after it's all set it done, we wake up in the same regular life that us regular people have to live.
And that's depressing.
Instead of trying to convince ourselves we're the next Lebron James, we need to adopt a more honest but powerful perspective.
We all need to adopt the AA mindset.
The AA mindset is a raw and honest truth that will unlock greatness and confidence in anyone.
Olympic gold medalist and homeless heroin addicts alike can grow from the AA mindset.
And no matter who you are and where you're reading, you can too.
You WILL grow when you adopt the AA mindset because the AA mindset means one thing...
I am above average.
If we all take a raw look at the world around us, we can see that this rings true.
You are not the worst.
You're not the dumbest kid in your class.
You aren't the slowest runner at your local 5k event.
You aren't the poorest person in your town.
That should be all the motivation you need to realize you have potential.
But you aren't the best either.
You aren't the smartest kid at your college.
You aren't the prettiest person on your IG feed.
You aren't the richest person at that networking event.
That should be all the motivation you need to want to get better.
Stop reading, following, and believing extreme mindset motivation bull-crap because it puts you at a disadvantage.
And sooner or later it hurts you with a huge ego or low self-esteem.
Follow the AA mindset and be raw with yourself.
You are slightly above average...and that's the best place to be.
When you try to start a million dollar business, remember that someone much less smarter than you did it and succeeded.
If you dream to be a NBA player don't give up. Someone much less athletic has pulled it off before you.
If you're getting older and want to run a marathon, remember that someone much older than you has already done the same thing.
Statistically speaking, you're not THE needle in a haystack.
You're A needle in a haystack.
You're slightly above average.
And that's perfectly fine because the world you see everyday was built by average.
And anything they can do, you can probably do too.
And if not, that's okay because average still means there's room for...
