Because the development of a positive mental attitude can be a truly daunting task for many people, the best way to begin is with a plan. All truly great endeavors, such as the making of the Empire State Building or the creation of the United States of America, each began with a plan. If the plan is a good one to start, it can later be improved upon and made to be even better. The beginning, however, will require a good plan and a devotion to success.

Once the plan has been set into order, it is best to give it a real practical edge. How exactly will you carry out your plan each day? How will you keep an eye on your progress and give yourself a regular assessment about your attitude? Here are some tips to get you started and to make your plan for a positive attitude more successful.

First, decide on just two or three things that you could do better to make your attitude a more positive mental attitude each day. Some people consider daily meditation to be a great way of improving their mental attitude throughout the day. It is easy to assess your progress with meditation because you simply mark it on your calendar each day that you sit still for 20 or thirty minutes. Over time, as you see the days being marked off consistently, you will also begin to see an improvement in your ability to sit still and to achieve a more calm mind. Then, after you have proven yourself to be truly dedicated to the task, you can increase the time to 30 or 40 minutes each day. This is one way to build up a more positive mental attitude in your life.

Another tip for creating a more positive mental attitude is to practice exercising several times a week. This can improve your health and your general attitude. It can also give you more confidence and make you more attractive to other people. This can do wonders for your self esteem and eventually lead to a better attitude. This is also very easy to assess each day in terms of progress and practical improvements because you can set goals for yourself and mark them off on the calendar as you achieve them. Don’t set your goals too high because you may not reach them and you may get discouraged too early. Set easy goals at first and pat yourself on the back when you achieve them. Save the improvements for after you have first proven yourself to be serious about following a plan.

Improving your mental attitude is really not that hard at any given time. The hard part comes when you first begin to feel that your plan is no longer interesting and you lose your excitement for improving. This is why it is good to increase your goal after a while and continue to mark the calendar even when you fail to live up to your goals. At least you are watching your progress and that is a lot more than you were doing before you started this new plan! Simple observation of yourself results in a positive improvement because you are applying the most powerful tool you have to your life. That’s your own mind! Improving your mind starts with using your mind and the improvements will naturally follow from there. It just takes a little common effort and some perseverance and you will find that your attitude will change at dramatic levels once the basic foundations of the plan have been set into order. America wasn’t built in a day and neither was the Empire State Building but they started with a good plan that they stuck to and finally carried out. You can also improve your attitude and eventually make yourself into a person who is full of happiness and bliss 100% of the time. If you believe you can do it, then it will come true!

Did you ever notice that the most successful people are always very positive and they don’t let things very powerful energy that they have inside of them that bother them for very long? How do they do that? The answer is that there is a makes it easier for them to turn away from negative things and toward more positive things. Some people are born with this ability but some people have to work at it to achieve it. Unfortunately, most people don’t have it and find it too hard to get it for themselves. This is because it takes real perseverance and effort over a long period of time to develop a new attitude about life. Here are some tips for getting started and doing whatever you can to stick to your plan.

The most important thing about developing a new attitude is to first recognize that your attitude is bad to begin with. Most people don’t want to admit this anyway so their plan never gets off the ground. Admitting that you don’t have such a great attitude is probably the most significant part of your future plan because it will help you to be able to see what you need to work on. Once you have admitted that you need help, you will be willing to try some new things like going to a group or taking up a new hobby to improve yourself. From there, you will gain some extremely positive ideas that can help you to develop an even better plan for the future.

After you have decided to create a new attitude for yourself, you can also make a commitment to finally improve yourself in some area that you had always wanted to improve but never had the courage to do so. Some people decide to take a public speaking course such as Toastmasters and others decide to take up drawing or painting. You can join a self-help group or begin to do formal meditation or yoga to improve yourself. Any of these things will help and they will all lead you to more ideas that could later be added to your list once you have begun. It is important, however, to have a long term goal and to stick to that overall plan in some sense. Otherwise, your plan to develop a new attitude might fall by the wayside as soon as you meet your first new friend or decide that you would rather go shopping with your group members instead of practicing your yoga routine!

A long term plan is one of the hardest things for people to stick by but it is paramount to developing a sincerely new attitude. Major changes to a person’s attitude don’t happen overnight so there must be a dedication to stay on the task and keep improving your plan over the long term. Eventually, over a period of many months or even years, you will find that you have become a completely different person from who you used to be. You no longer will feel depressed at all and you will never feel scared or worried about anything. This is true! It is really possible to eliminate all the negative emotions from your life if you truly want to. Say goodbye to fear, grief, shame and guilt forever. They are useless emotions that don’t help anyone at all! You can learn to weed these emotions out of your life over the long term and eventually enjoy a more happy and fulfilling life.

As the saying goes, “Many are called but few are chosen” and this is your big chance to choose yourself as a person who is going to turn their life around and make something better of themselves. Getting serious at the onset is the most important part of the long term plan. How much of a serious heart do you have in you? Can you trust yourself to stick by a plan, even the smallest of plan, for a long period of time? How much can you depend on yourself to follow through and do this great task that you are setting in front of yourself? It is all up to you 100% and nothing can stop you if you are indeed very serious. Developing a new attitude can be the greatest goal a person ever makes for themselves and it can be the beginning of the best thing you have ever done. Make the move now and make it for keeps! You can do it!

Have you ever wondered why you may still feel miles away from living the life you so deeply desire? You have been taking inspirational workshops, reading self-development books, and attending church and hearing The Word in all of its power, yet it still feels like God’s promise is on the other side of a glass window you can’t seem to get through? Yes, you’ve experienced success, but you know God has something much bigger for you, you just can’t quite figure out how to get from here to there. It’s time for you to open up to your Mansion MindsetTM!.

John 14:2 reminds us that “In My Father’s house are many mansions,” yet many of us are only living in apartments, condos, and houses. While a mansion allows you to be clear about where your mind currently is in developing the fullness of the Mansion Mindset God intended for you, it goes far beyond wealth and material possessions to unlocking God’s promise for your life in all areas. While you might hear the word, “mansion” and think of a large home, I want to open the bounds of your mind to fully grasp what it is God has for you.

A mansion, by definition, is at least 7,000 square feet and is built by an architect exclusively for you. I found record of 60,000 square foot mansions on 300 acres of land. Mansions are more than just one large building, they are villas or estates with everything from ballrooms, multiple kitchens, game rooms, theaters, sun rooms, morning rooms, breakfast rooms, pantries, countless bathrooms and bedrooms, gymnasiums, arts and crafts rooms, staff living space, and of course, an extensive library. And these are just the typical rooms. There are also sewing rooms, packing rooms, boathouses, guest houses, and drawing rooms.

Can you just feel your mind expanding? What rooms do you need in your mansion? What do you need God to provide for you so you can carry out the fullness of His vision for your life? I need a spa and my own beauty salon. I need a helicopter landing pad to take me to my private jet so I don’t have to worry about traffic as I go to my international speaking engagements. My daughter needs her own classroom so we can bring a tutor in any time she needs additional help in school. Where is your mind in conceiving what God can do for you?

Forget what your world looks like today and allow yourself to faithfully imagine what it could be like if only you could take the limits off of God. The mansion I have on my vision board is 12,000 square feet and I realized that I was still containing what I thought God can do for me. S-T-R-E-T-C-H. 15,000 square feet. S-T-R-E-T-C-H. 20,000 square feet. S-T-R-E-T-C-H. 60,000 square feet. Yes, that is the size I need to have the overnight rooms for my guests who will be attending my seminars and the auditorium that will be on my property for my speaking engagements. S-T-R-E-T-C-H. I can see breakout classrooms and a dance hall for after-hours entertainment for my guests. S-T-R-E-T-C-H your mind and allow yourself to see it, feel it, taste it. What do you believe God for?

It’s time to release the lies and small thinking from your past that have held you back from really living your vision. “Why you?” You may ask…”Why NOT you?” And don’t stop at just one mansion. God has many mansions for you if you would only believe in Him. Believe that He will provide for you if you step out on faith and begin to bring forth His divine work in your life. Believe that He will bless you with a life partner who aligns with all God has called you to do and evokes the King or Queen in you. Believe God beyond what you have ever allowed yourself to believe him for in the past. He will show up…if you just believe.

Once you commit to living God’s vision for your life, to clear out the old from your heart, and to develop your Mansion MindsetTMyou are literally unstoppable. If you are ready to develop and achieve your Mansion MindsetTM, here are some steps for you to follow:

1. Write down your vision on $79 tablets. Make it specific. What color? How big? How much?

2. Find images that represent your vision and post them on a bulletin board on a wall that you look at everyday.

3. Identify habits, words, doubts, and fears that you’ve allowed to hold yourself back. Make a list of them and rip it up, promising yourself that you will do all you can to never allow those things in your life again.

4. Confess to God that you really don’t know how to do this and ask Him to show you the way. Surrender the fear. Submit to His Call.

5. Create Visionary Office Hours, stick to them, and get to work taking daily action steps to change your life.

6. Practice opening your mind to your first Mansion. Then open up to your second, third, etc. Keep stretching what you will believe God for. Give Him room to work in your life!

7. Watch your words! Speak only of those things, feelings, moods you want more of. Stop speaking forth brokennes, doubt, fears, and lack. You will draw that which you speak to yourself.

Before you know it, it will be your season of harvest and you will manifest your Mansion MindsetTM!
