Kernaussage 1 von 6

What’s in it for me? A practical path to courage, confidence, and designing the life of your dreams.

Are you stuck in the same routine? Do you long to break free and create an inspiring life that fulfills you? Then it’s time to stop replaying the same old story in your head and create a new one – one in which you overcome your fears and self-doubt to achieve your goals with clarity and purpose.

In this Blink to The Greatness Mindset, you will learn how to tap into your strengths, talents, and passions and affect the world around you positively.

Through self-examination and practical exercises, you will discover how to work on healing past trauma, assess your identity, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop a clear and meaningful mission.

So if you are done with mediocrity and want to design the life of your dreams, then this Blink is for you. Get ready to unleash greatness.

Defining Your Passions, Values, and Priorities

Are you tired of living by default? Feeling like a passenger on a journey you did not choose? It’s a common feeling – going through the motions and following a path others have set for us. It may feel safe, but if we ignore our passions and true calling, we risk living a life without meaning. Problems from the past may cause us to live in fear and doubt – so what can we do to fix this?

One thing we can do is learn resilience. We must find ways to face and deal with the feelings that stop us from reaching our potential. We will explore this in the next section – but first, we need to figure out what we truly want from life.

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to have a strong sense of purpose while others seem lost? The reason is that people with purpose are task-oriented. This means they have defined and are working toward their Meaningful Mission – one goal that aligns with their passion and strength. But how can you discover your Meaningful Mission?

First and foremost, you need to understand where you are in life right now. This means evaluating your strengths, limits, passions, and values. One powerful tool that can help you do this is the Perfect Day Itinerary (PDI). By creating a detailed schedule for your ideal day – including obligations and aspirations – you can clarify what genuinely matters to you. Focus on three main areas: business, relationships, and health. Through this process, you can find your sweet spot. There you will discover the energy, enthusiasm, and drive to pursue your aim and have a positive impact on the world. And the best part? It’s a journey anyone willing to put in the effort can take.

So, if you’re ready to find your Meaningful Mission and realize your full potential, start with self-assessment. Use the PDI exercise to clarify your passions and values. Then, feel free to revise until you find your dream vision. Even putting one or two modest pursuits in your calendar can give you momentum and help you define your priorities.

Remember, your Meaningful Mission is not a one-time choice; it evolves with you. Keep reviewing it as you progress through life. Adopt an abundant mindset, identify your sweet spot, and pursue your mission relentlessly. Greatness does not happen by chance. It demands that you consider your path and show up every day to follow it.

Improve Your Mindset, Overcome Your Fears

When challenged, we naturally often feel scared and give up. But quitting was not an option for Sara Blakely, founder of the hugely successful Spanx brand. Despite countless setbacks, she refused to ditch her dreams. Blakely’s secret? Redefining failure. Instead of seeing it as a reason to stop, she believed failure is just not trying. By shifting her mindset and persevering, she turned Spanx into a billion-dollar business.

Is your fear of failure holding you back? If this is the case, it is time to break free and coach yourself to success. But where do you begin? We can start by creating what the author calls a Fear List. This involves jotting down your worries and explaining what scares you. If it helps, use “If ... then” statements. For example, “I am scared that if I start my own business, then I will fail and lose all my savings.” Fear is a severe obstacle to growth. By completing this brief study, you can express your concerns and name the root causes of your fears. Once you have confirmed what is holding you back, you can start designing ways to overcome your limiting beliefs. Remember, negative self-talk can seriously hinder your progress, so you need to slay that demon to unleash your full potential.

Mend Yourself

Have you ever wondered what separates the great from the rest? It’s not just talent, hard work, and opportunity. Greatness begins with something more profound: overcoming pain.

Do you find yourself repeating self-destructive patterns? If the answer is yes, it’s time to start healing childhood trauma. But what has been holding you back till now? One of the biggest obstacles to personal growth is victim consciousness. Such thinking can trap us in a cycle of blame, stopping us from taking control of our lives. Of course, you may have justifiable reasons to say you are a victim – but to find peace, you must let go of the past.

Craft a Healthy Identity

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase "healthy identity"? It might sound like something reserved for therapists and self-help charlatans. But the truth is, creating a healthy image is crucial for anyone aspiring to excellence.

Think about it: How much of your identity is molded by others? Perhaps more than you realize. When we submit to identity foreclosure, we allow outside forces to define us. But when you consciously craft your essence and maintain control over changes, you set yourself up for success — like the author did. To define his mission, the entrepreneur, author, and podcast host often wrestled with his issues and revised his personal manifesto several times.

Meet the Greatness Performance System (GPS)

Do you ever feel like you are drowning in a sea of jobs? It is common to think that the more we pack into our diary, the more we can accomplish. However, like a ship crammed with cargo, it is all too easy to capsize under the weight of our ambition. In fact, focusing on fewer, more precisely defined goals can often improve productivity. The author, a former professional handball player, discovered this firsthand. He was adrift once his sports career ended, unsure what to do next. Only after embracing simplicity was he able to create a clear action plan.

Ready to crush your goals? Let's break things down into simple steps using the Greatness Performance System (GPS). Here is how it works: First, identify the three most important areas in your life – for example, business, relationships, and wellness. Next, set three specific goals for each zone, and select the most crucial one from each. Now, answer three simple questions for each goal: What do you want? Why do you want it? And what is the next step? To stay productive, you must prioritize tasks within your day – so the next time you feel yourself drifting, use these GPS questions to correct your course.

Final Summary

As you cultivate your Greatness Mindset, realize time is your most precious asset. Guard it fiercely and capitalize on moments of peak productivity. Remember to acknowledge and celebrate your successes, no matter how small, as happiness is more than achieving your dreams. It is relishing the journey.

Know that your efforts, rather than your successes, determine your worth. So love yourself and accept that you are enough. Lastly, personal growth is a lifelong process that we should all engage with. Commit to creating your Meaningful Mission – and start writing your future story today!

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ines S.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Ekaterina S.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Julia P.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
