Secrets of Mind and Reality - MindReality.com

The best think differently from the way most people think. If you want to become the best, you must be willing to think opposite of conventional wisdom. What seems like the right thing to do for most people is actually not so for those who are elite. Those that do things apart from the average are the ones who get exceptional results. That is why there is a need to defy consensus reality for the purpose of achieving that which is far above the expectation of the norm. The mentality of the best is not like the rest.

You cannot learn from the mentality of someone who isn’t the best if you want to be the best. You may know people who are better than others in certain things in life. But they will only be able to teach you according to the level which they have attained. The very same mentality that sets them above those who are below them is also the same mentality that limits them. In those instances where you want to achieve beyond their level, you must reject their ideas regarding those areas so as to be not limited.

Even people who have obtained a certain measure of achievement are also governed by a limiting set of beliefs that keep them where they are. If you want to surpass them in those areas, you must transcend their limited way of thinking. Fundamental beliefs are the foundation which governs how a person looks at everything else. Two people with different fundamental beliefs will see and interpret everything else differently from each other. This is usually the cause of conflict regarding reasoning and perspective.

The key here is not to convince a person about something better when they are reasoning from their level of mentality. Just understand that they are kept back according to their level of mentality and unless their rise to a higher level of seeing things, their way of reasoning will not change. What you can do is to keep your focus on people who are of a higher level of mentality and achievement. That way you can enable yourself to be unaffected by those who are of lower mentality while advancing even higher.

The wise are different from the average or foolish. But the super wise may seem just like the foolish in some ways. Yet the super wise achieve far greater results than both the foolish and the wise. That is because the super wise are of a mentality that is even higher than the wise. A lower level of wisdom is as foolishness compared with a higher level. Therefore conventional wisdom is actually foolishness for the super wise. When you are super wise, you would think differently from what people think as wise.

The rich do many things differently from the average or poor. But the super rich may do certain things that the poor do and yet they achieve far greater wealth than the rich. It is the mentality of the super rich that sets them apart from the rich. What the rich consider as liabilities may be considered to be assets by the super rich because they view financial intelligence from an even greater perspective than the rich. If you want to be come super rich, you must intend to learn from the super rich instead of the rich.

There are people in this world who attain the kind of success, happiness and power that is far beyond the majority including those who are wealthy and successful. These people are rare and the knowledge that sets them apart is not contained in most books on wealth and success. You have to find and learn from those books that contain knowledge which surpass other forms of knowledge if you want to attain the mentality of such people. Realize that when it comes to the best, it is not enough to be good.

A person’s mentality may get them a certain amount of results. But that same mentality may be what is keeping them from greater results. In order to achieve even more, they must take on a greater mentality. Some people are unwilling to do it because it may go against their current mentality. That is the paradox of advancement. Going to a higher level may seem like going to a lower one. But the rules of a higher level can be totally different from the lower level. Break the rules to get a different level of results.

Wisdom of a higher level tends to run contrary to common wisdom. Higher ways of thinking may often be counter intuitive. What seems like the way to do things may not be so at a higher level. What doesn’t seem like the way to do things may very well be the way to do it according to higher wisdom. The level of consciousness which you operate with will determine the level of results you can create. Few people choose to think in counter intuitive ways. That is why the few are super wise and super wealthy.

All the reasoning does not matter if you are reasoning from a lower level of perspective. You must first raise yourself to a higher level of perspective and then reason from that level if you want to make real progress. Overcoming limitations is the way of true growth. Your income and success can only expand to the degree that you do. The expansion of self is the expansion of mentality. The greater your mentality, the greater you will be. Grow in mentality and all else about you will automatically be upgraded.

The fastest way to achieve the best kind of results is to go straight for the best and learn from them. You do not have to learn from one successful person to the next. Find the most successful ones and discover their mentality. Observe the way they think and do things. In areas where others surpass them, learn that from others instead. The key is to combine what’s best from all the best and use it to achieve the best for yourself. Success is found in wisdom, so learn from those with the highest wisdom of all.[/hidepost]
