The Successful Mind

By Carl Massy

CHANGE YOUR BELIEFS. CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

 

There is a hard way and a much easier way to create positive change in your life. The hard way is to 'try' and change everything external to you – people, institutions, places, etc. The easier way is to take your attention inwards and change your internal belief systems, so you can initiate new ways of feeling and behaving, and therefore achieve a new level of results. First you need to create a new level of mind. A Successful Mind.

 

In this book, you will clearly understand how your beliefs have been created, the impact they have on your results and emotional state of being, the possibilities when you change your subconscious beliefs, plus learn different strategies on how to change your most limiting beliefs. You will become intimately familiar with the beliefs that are not serving you. These disempowering beliefs (your internal software) needs to be upgraded; just like any computer that is still running Windows 95 software.

A former major in the Australian Army and an Olympic Games anti-terrorism consultant, he is committed to helping people tap into their true potential in order to experience more health, vitality, happiness, and authentic success, in their lives.

A Beliefs Workout to Get You Started

Chapter 1: Introduction

Before you is a foundational pillar of knowledge, experience and wisdom I have come to understand and constantly apply to support myself, and my coaching clients, in creating the greatest possible life experience. My greatest desire is to help you create a joyful, rich living experience that provides you with all of the wonderful relationships and achievements that define a vibrant life. When you come to truly understand what I am about to share with you over the next few hours, and step into the direction that is right for you, your life will take on a whole new meaning and your journey into joy, health, vitality, success, and abundance will be underway in earnest.

I am excited to be able to share with you what I have joyfully, and also painstakingly, learned over the last 20 years. I also aim to fast-track your journey of coming to learn and understand this knowledge, because I know it to be a necessary and powerful stepping-stone on the path to evolution.

The stepping-stones and path I have discovered that lead to a better life look something like the formula below. And since I am an avid Kindle user, I know that sometimes the diagrams are so hard to see, so at this link I will have all of the images, plus a PDF of the images to download (http://www.carlmassy.com/beliefs).

For many years I used to believe having ‘wisdom’ guaranteed we would make better choices, but when I decided to dig deeper, I realised there was more to the story. There have been situations in my past, when, though I was well-equipped with knowledge and experience (aka: wisdom), I still made poor choices.  These experiences sparked a quest to understand the key ingredients to better choices, and consequently getting better results. I realised there were two specific elements I had to work on.

The first element was enhancing my ability to be consciously aware in the present moment. Doing this would allow me to step back and access my reserves of combined knowledge and past experience (wisdom) to make the best choice based on the reality in front of me. The more present we are, the more perspective we have. The more we are in an elevated state of awareness, the more discerning, deliberate, intentional, intelligent and powerful our decisions are likely to be. We make choices based on what we know, what we have experienced, and the nature of the unique situation at hand. We don’t just regurgitate the old way of doing things. We are aware of where we came from, where we are, and where we most desire to go. This is a very powerful combination.  

The second element was coming to truly understand and appreciate the influence and power of all the subconscious beliefs and thoughts at play whenever I am not 100% conscious in the present moment. It turns out, according to research by neuroscientists, that we are only fully ‘consciously aware’ of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviour about 5% of the time. The remainder of the time – most of our lives - we are running on subconscious programs that have been learned and bought into, over the course of our lives. Now this is great if the subconscious programs we are playing are relevant, current, and life enhancing; but the reality is that a whole bunch of the programs influencing us - in a word – SUCK. And not just a little bit. They suck big time! Ouch!

Let’s have a quick look behind the curtains. Some of our subconscious programs cause us to throw tantrums like a 4-year-old who has had their lollipop taken from them. Others might cause us to completely freeze in front of a group of people, even when we know exactly what we want to present to them. Then there are beliefs that influence us to step back in fear, when everything we need to succeed is already within us. There are internal programs that cause us to sabotage our relationships with the people we most desire to be with in life.

Can you relate to any of these experiences? How would you like to gain the knowledge and strategies that allow you to move beyond these self-imposed limitations? 

Then I wholeheartedly encourage you to invest in yourself and your destiny by looking deeply into the information and insights I will be sharing with you in this small book. By doing so, you will be taking steps toward better choices and a more empowered life. Action is the path to your evolution.

Get ready to take a journey to an even more amazing life. I am extremely grateful to have this opportunity to provide useful tools and information to support you in the process. I love to witness people uncover what has been holding them back, or draining them of their precious energy, clarity, and drive. It is a joy to see people wake up to their greatness.

My intention in writing this book is not only to provide you with knowledge, but also to stir your emotions in a way that will stimulate you into action. I will then share with you the steps I recommend you take in order to get the
