really can (and do) achieve the things you set your mind to.

The Stoic philosopher Seneca once said,

“It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable”.

Right now, your mind is unconquerable when it comes to proving that you’re

not worthy of love, that you’re lazy, or that you’ll always be out of shape or

never have any money.

But if we change our thinking a little, we can use our mind’s unconquerable

nature to act on all the positive goals and dreams we hold for ourselves. We

are wired to win – we just have to point ourselves in the right direction so we

can win at something we consciously choose.

CREATING A GAME PLAN

“The happiness of your life depends upon the

quality of your thoughts. Therefore, guard

accordingly, and take that you entertain no notions

unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.”

- Marcus Aurelius

We’ve talked about the enormous role our sub-conscious plays in everything

we do. Even if we consciously made the right decisions at every opportunity,

it would still only account for a fraction of our daily life.

The personal assertion, “I am wired to win”, will support you in realizing

how truly powerful you and your mind are. But you still need a game plan.

That means we have to start filling our “bucket” with the right ideas. Here’s a

good way to start.

Think about the thing or things you’d like to change in your life. They could

be related to the problem areas you looked at earlier, or they could be

something completely different.
