“Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.” Despite being a truism, I also think it’s an incredibly powerful truth. Mindset directs outcomes so often we fail to see it, which means we fail to change it.
If you have the mindset that you’ll succeed, then you accept that as a default, and you’ll look for how you’ll succeed. So despite obstacles, you’ll look for solutions, because you started with the axiom that a solution exists. If you believe you’ll fail, then any obstacle you see will be confirmation of the impossibility of the task and you won’t “waste your time” looking for ways around it.
The questions you ask are statements about yourself. Ask how to win.
