WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? | Mindset Mastery w/ AZ Araujo   Manifesting something much greater within yourself should be at the forefront of how you approach the game of life, especially when you're committed to constant growth.   Growth comes with challenges, and through these challenges, you will face moments of being broken. This is a fundamental part of the process, and it's important to keep this in mind as you navigate life's obstacles.   When you're in the thick of these challenges, you might feel frustrated, as if the world is conspiring against you. It's crucial to understand that the path to growth won't always align with your plans. Life rarely goes exactly as we imagine it will, and accepting this reality is part of the journey.   Growth demands a lot from you. It requires taking on great responsibility, overcoming numerous challenges, and maintaining relentless effort. The grind can often feel defeating, draining your motivation and inspiration, making it seem like a constant burden.   Yet, everyone goes through this. It's easy to forget that these struggles are integral to the process. Without self-reflection and thoughtful analysis of your thoughts, frustration can grow, leading you to believe you deserve all the positives without any of the downsides, trapping you in a negative mindset.   But ask yourself: Who do you think you are?   Who do you think you are to sit there and complain about the very life you once dreamed of? Who do you think you are to loathe the process, forgetting that there was a time when living the life you have now was merely a fantasy? Who do you think you are to act like a victim, expecting everything to work out in your favor?   Growth involves accepting both the good and the challenging aspects that push you to the next level. It's almost comical to believe you shouldn't face any challenges. Such entitlement ignores the reality that growth is a constant battle and fight.   Stop complaining and ask yourself again: Who do you think you are?   By having this honest and raw conversation with yourself, you will begin to see the humor in expecting dream results without the accompanying responsibilities. Embrace these responsibilities and meet your challenges with a positive attitude. Be grateful and thankful for the opportunity to push your boundaries. Every problem you face is aligning you with your ultimate goals.   QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER: How do you remind yourself that being broken and challenged is part of the growth process? What strategies do you use to maintain motivation during tough times? How do you practice self-reflection to avoid falling into a negative mindset? In what ways can you change your perspective on challenges to see them as opportunities for growth?   NOTABLE QUOTES: "Manifesting something much greater within yourself should be at the forefront of how you approach the game of life, especially when you're committed to constant growth." "Growth demands a lot from you. It requires taking on great responsibility, overcoming numerous challenges, and maintaining relentless effort."   Follow A.Z.
