Do you remember your first week in Algebra 1 class? I do. I can remember evenings at the kitchen table, reworking math problems over and over because I kept messing up easy steps early on in the process of working out the solution. It was so frustrating.

I was so upset because of the basic way math works. If you miss something vital early on, it WILL impact the rest of the problem and your answer will be wrong.

Your mindset is that way too.

If you accept something as “true” when it’s really false, every step you take on that situation from that point forward will be negatively impacted. You’ve got to learn how to safeguard yourself from making mindset conclusions or decisions that are incorrect (untrue), early on in the process.

It’s like making yourself the bouncer at the doorway of your mind. You deliberately and consciously check the “I.D.” of every thought that comes to your mind before you allow it to settle down and be at home. If it’s truth, you allow it in. If it’s not truth, you kick it out. No, you kill it.

In this Periscope session I chat about the daily battle to keep a truth-based mindset, why it’s so hard, and how you can
#1 – determine what is true, and
#2 – strengthen your ability to fight the battle daily.

On a separate note…
