One of the goals of the writers of this blog is to bring to boomers, seniors if you will, ideas and practices that if implemented might improve the quality of their lives. We review many websites, blogs and other electronic media looking for ideas to bring to our readers. One of the sources we use on a regular basis is to read Entrepreneur on-line magazine. It is a business site containing many posts and short articles by numerous people directed at business with an emphasis on those who are entrepreneurs. We often find the advice and suggestions very helpful not just for entrepreneurs but also for people who are interested in improving the quality of their lives.
I came upon a post recently by Sherrie Campbell, who is a contributor to Entrepreneur, that I found contained some great ideas for anyone not just business people. It is entitled Ten Mindsets To Improve Your Business. I have taken her points and adapted them to something I think is valuable for seniors seeking to expand their horizons. I am listing the ideas below:
1. Choose courage over fear. Venture into the unknown beyond what you think you are capable of doing. Don't be foolish here but you can determine that it is ok to step outside your comfort zone.
2. Believe in yourself. A positive attitude toward yourself starts you on the path to success.
3. Choose good company. Surround yourself with people who are positive and goal oriented. Negative and toxic influences hold you back from achieving your goals.
4. Choose your own goals. Selecting your own goals motivate you to a greater degree and have a greater impact on your life.
5. Have a purpose and vision for your life. Write it down and it becomes more real in your life.
6. Accept the challenges that are part of your life. Facing your challenges enhances growth and defines your direction.
7. Be discerning. Mindfulness and focus help to keep you on track. They keep you moving in your desired direction and help to eliminate the need to go back and clean up your mistakes.
8. Take risks. Evaluate situations and take risks when warranted. We have no guarantees but if you never risk it limits your growth and your chance of success.
9. Do what you love. Pursue your passion. Pursuing what you are passionate about helps fit your life into who you really are. This is a benefit to you and those around you.
10. Express gratitude. Real gratitude is expressed not just felt. Stop complaining and feeling sorry that life didn't turn out as you hoped. Appreciate all that life has given you and be a benefit to you, your family and your community.
The above are attitudes and mindsets that we have found helpful in improving our lives. We do hope that you are able to see the benefit of them and start to implement them into your lives.
