There is one question that clearly reveals a persons outlook. That question is "How are you doing?" The response to that question can tell you a lot about a person's mindset. The average answer to that question is usually "good" or "fine". Sometime you get an "all right" or "its' been better" or something to that effect. The importance of the answer to this simple question is to determine your mindset and whether you need to change it to create success in your life. This is a simple exercise that will allow you to change your thought patterns and actively shape your future. The first step to creating thoughts for success is to create a positive mindset.

If you answer "good" that is all right. If you are satisfied with average then, by all means, keep that answer. If you generally answer "ok", "all right", "it's been better" or something to that effect, then the prognosis is poor and you will need to change make a change. Your response, if you would like to create thoughts for success should be an emphatic "great", "fantastic", or something to that effect. The key here is to answer emphatically with emotion.

If you answer the question emphatically with a positive response two things are going to happen. You are going to start turning heads and getting funny looks, because people are going to want to know what you are doing to feel that way. Sadly enough, it is rare to find someone who genuinely answers that question in that manner. This going to attract people to you and create opportunities to strike up conversations which has the potential to open avenues for you. The second effect of this response is that you are going to start reprogramming negative thought patterns that may be circulating though your head and replace them with thoughts for success.

Even if you don't believe it because your self worth is not where it should be, practice saying this every time someone asks you, "How are you doing?". It will probably be hard to say this at first. It might even feel strange. Why shouldn't you fell great or fantastic? Don't feel hypocritical for saying so even if you aren't there yet. You are setting the mind set or energetic pattern to create that reality of feeling great or fantastic.

To achieve success on any level (personal, spiritual, financial) you need to believe it first and know that it is your right. If you continue to think otherwise, then that will continue to be your experience. Making a change requires consistent action on a daily basis beginning with changing your thoughts.The choice is yours!
