How do successful people think?
Ah!
They do think different don't they?
I'm Kris Krohn here with Limitless TV and today i'm going to be sharing with
you three particular ways that I find my mentors have thought. This has led to the
great success that they have in their life and I'm sharing it with you because
guess what?
you deserve to be your most successful version of you.
Hanging around a lot of mentors very successful people, I've come to find that
what most of them share in common is that they have a really unique
perception.
A very unique outlook on life. you know most of us as human beings were
super selfish creatures meaning we only have the ability to really understand
our world from our point of view. We're not naturally walking around and
contemplating what are other people thinking, what must it be like to be them.
We're really superimposing our thoughts and our ideas on other people. And so
it's interesting that even though I live in a world where I see other people, what
I'm really seeing is a projection of what I value in them, what I see in them,
what I dislike in them. Everything I've seen everyone else is really just a
projection of who?
It's just a perception of me. And successful people I believe
understand the difference between their perceived reality and what reality may
actually be. And so there's this principle that I want to first teach
with you. There's two principles for today in this video. The first one is the
mere principle and it's this idea that I'm mere on to everybody else. So for example,
this is um,
I Drive a BMW and my mom for some crazy reason bought me this
BMW ish
piece of art thing. But it's actually kind of reflective right? and it's
actually a good analogy for this video of the mere principle because when you
think of a mirror you might think of a crystal-clear mirror that reflects
exactly back to you, what you're seeing. But the reality is, is that our
perception is not a crystal-clear mirror. It's more like this. It's super distorted.
I look at my face and right now it's actually creating a mirror image on my
face and my two chin's are connected with a butt together and I'm super silly
looking right? I can twist the angle and now I get super fat. Now I get ultra
skinny. And, the way perceive and twist the reality is we see everybody else we're
just projecting our truths in our beliefs on them. Successful people I
believe have the ability to be aware that there's other people that they're
interacting with that view life different than the way that they do.
And so the question is, Dale Carnegie brings up this one principle he says
that, the most successful people in life and the people that get what they want
are so busy helping other people getting what it is they want in life. And that
requires us to develop a different perception and to understand just kind
of step outside of myself and realize, wait a second I'm dealing with another
human being that has their own thoughts and feelings and fears and concerns but
they're different than me. What are their beliefs because they're not the same as
mine. We may have some in common. How do they perceive the world? how are they
perceiving me? and so the first thing I, the first of the two principles from this
video is just understanding that how you perceive the world doesn't mean that
that's how other people are preceding it. And to be successful in life, you gotta
understand that there's something greater going on than just you and the
way that you see the world. Your perception is only yours. So start by
broadening the horizon and recognizing, oh the people I'm arguing with, the
people I want to be right with, the people that, that I'm trying to persuade
or convince something of because aren't all those tools I need to be successful?
well I think it really comes back to this more elemental principle that
people aren't objects, they're human beings that have their own perceptions
and who are they and what are their needs wants and desires? And how do I
help them achieve those? because for me to achieve mine I think that we got to
start on a mutual playing grounds where we see each other with a level of
respect regardless of where we're at in life, in the different stages of life.
Okay and what I want to do now is I want to build on this principle and in this
next segment I really want to share with you what I believe makes the biggest
kicker of a difference in being hyper successful in life.
Now I want to use an
analogy to show you the second principle of how successful people think and to do
it, I want you to imagine for a moment that we are going to be climbing to the
top of Mount Everest.
Now Mount Everest is not just a
challenging hike, a scary hike. But it has like a five percent mortality rate. It
means that 5% of all people that attempt to climb Everest die.
So with that in
mind, what do you think you would or want to successfully climb Everest?
Yes.
You would want to have food, supplies.
Yes
good awesome I like that one.
That's, that's good. It's important to have gear, right? we're going to need
climbing gear, warm clothes. We're going to need oxygen tank. What else are you
going to need?
Yes training. Awesome. Good suggestion.
You are really,
you're really rocking it today.
Training, right? You
wouldn't want to just do Everest cold turkey. You would need to have some money
because you've got to get there early and you've got to acclimate to the high
altitude. What are some other things that you would need? well I want to share with
you the most important thing that a successful person needs.
You need a guide
Now imagine for a moment that money is a consideration so you're selecting your
guides and I'm going to give you two choices for a guide. The first one is, hey!!
Pick me! This is my second time ever go into the top of the
mountain! I'm so excited! I survived the first time and I decided to become a
guide.
Seriously?!
No!
You want the, you want the, crotchety grouchy, all right if you
stick with me you're gonna live because I've gone up and down this mountain 92
times and I've never lost a person but you must listen to exactly what I say
you gotta do.
You want the grouch right?! you want the guy. And so in life
what is successful people have?
They got guides.
They have mentors, they have
people that beed where they want to go. And I found this to make one of the
biggest difference on whether or not you're going to be successful in life.
And just as a bonus I'm going to throw in a third thing because at first I
talked about perception. I'm talking about needing a mentor and the third
thing that I want to share with you is your mindset. Is this a quarter full or
three-quarters empty?
right?
It's this idea that attitude determines altitude.
Yes and it sounds kind of cheesy but the reality is, is that successful
people they're optimistic. They hold space for opportunities. They believe in
things that have not yet been created. They believe in their ability to produce
things that, that haven't been done before which ultimately means that they
they live life with an element of faith.
Faith to believe in, in the
possibility of something that hasn't been done. Unsuccessful people only
believe that they're capable of doing what they've done or what they seem done.
And just for a moment think how limiting that is, is if you are only able
to replicate results you've already produced in your life?
Bla!
Like who wants
that? nobody want, nobody wants that! so at least nobody that wants to be successful.
So those are the three tips that I have for you today
the first one is cultivate a perception that leaves room for other people to
come in your world. Number two if you want to do something really big and
great in life then above all get a mentor to help you get there and then
the third one is that you're in charge of your attitude. So choose an optimistic
face filled attitude that leaves room for the possibility of what you want to
create.
Hands down my favorite thing that I get to do every month is spend three
days at these breakthrough events where we get to teach the ultimate consummate
mindset of the successful person.
