HOW TO HAVE THE BEST OF TIMES IN THE WORST OF TIMES

Attract Key People with an Abundance Mindset

​There is tremendous power in positive thinking and visualizing great outcomes. Suppressing negative thoughts and concentrating on your goals is not the complete formula for achieving a bigger vision, however. Legendary athletes like Michael Phelps, Misty May-Treanor, and Kerri Walsh didn’t accomplish their goals by themselves. This is also true of famous leaders like Fred Smith of FedEx, Howard Schultz of Starbucks, and Jim Goodnight, the Founder and CEO of SAS. The common denominator with all of them is that they didn’t do it alone- they aligned themselves with key people.

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE SUCCESS

As a leader, executive, or business owner, you can create a new mindset and thrive in the worst of times. Concentration is essential to set your goal in motion, and the suppression of self-doubt is critical, but more is necessary to achieve success. Having this mindset propels you into motion and action-taking. Telling others about your dream with enthusiasm will help to inspire them into action, as well. Magical team performance happens when people feel and see your optimism and excitement about your vision. Synergistic mindsets create collaboration, and team member entrepreneurial spirit emerges to solve mission problems.

If you can imagine a bigger vision, you’ll set proper goals and surround yourself with people who will help you achieve them.  According to Andrew Newberg, M.D, when others have a mutual interest they, will be neurologically inclined to join forces with you, or at least support you and give helpful advice. The longer you focus on the goal, the more real it begins to feel. If stay focused long enough, you’ll alter the neural circuitry of your brain.
 
When you visualize what you desire, immerse yourself in positive images associated with your goal. For example, try to envision meeting important people who can help you on your quest. Then, take action. Contact everyone you know - not with the fear that they won’t be helpful, but with the knowledge that people are neurologically inclined to help - and ask them for the name of someone they know who might help you achieve your bigger vision.  In very little time, you’ll connect with the right people. Networking is the fastest way to success, especially when it concerns relationships and work.

ANOTHER BENEFIT OF OPTIMISM THAT WILL HELP DURING A PANDEMIC

Having an optimistic mindset is also good for your health. Researchers at the University of California found that people who have self-enhancing illusions exhibit lower cardiovascular recovery and lower baseline cortisol levels. In fact, an unrealistic optimistic belief about the future appears to be health-protective, even when dealing with diseases.
